Why the hell is is Mcgrady only playing 7 minutes a game?! It is so dumb..why cant the coach gradually give him more minutes every game like what every other team does with injured players??...

With Super Von Wafer coming back and Birdinger returning eventually, i dont think Mcgrady is part of the Rockets game plan at all. He's going to be traded fairly soon imo.

This isn't a common injury.. You have to be cautious with a micro fracture injury.. The 8 min time limit is great he is getting stronger slowly getting in his groove..

For those who missed T-Mac's game, it's already up on youtube. He looked good.

Landry is a MONSTER, dominated the 4th quarter once again.

Adelman is impressed with JT's display and plan to give him more minutes...
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/spo ... 83786.html

“Carl was good the whole game, Kyle the whole game, David was good in the second quarter, and we need that night in and night out,” Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. “And Jermaine, who hasn’t played at all, came in and did a nice job. He was very solid. He worked hard defensively. As you can see, he has a lot of quickness, and he can attack. If he gets a chance, we’re going to try to give him some minutes to see what he can do…

“He did a nice job tonight, really played within himself.”

JT had a good game. He looked Quick. He needs to attack the basket more and look to pass. He's still weak at finishing at the rim but he should draw defenders and pass to the open guy more often because of his speed.

Once again, we find a way to win against a team that could be a playoff contender later in the season. Really encouraging signs.

Kinda nice to give the middle finger to the rest of the league. we really are a team full of heart, we take whatever it is they can throw at us!

Nice to see Damage Assesment stepping up.

Is my call of Landry becoming an eventual All-Star, starting to ring true yet?

Nice to see J.T. step up. This is his chance.
