but tmac didnt' get along with anyone. He hated Battier and Ming. He is not better overall because of this.
Harden is also very consistent. Looks like he's not even trying but you look up and it's 25 and 6 dimes on 17FGA every game.
Harden is much better in the open court on the break.

Howard doesn't get the credit he deserves for his post up game. He's great in the traditional postup and and has a nice drop step baseline then jam. Also he's one of the best in the flash post game. (and I'm not talking about pnr)..

When a player drives inside and gets to the lane and scores on the Rockets it's a lot due to Howard. Because the opposing center can't come off of him an inch, because it will be a lob or offensive rebound dunk virtually everytime. This is actually post up game as well. Cause sometimes Parsons will drive in a little ways, draw the center from Howard and he'll throw the quick lob above Howard who is always ready. Howard will catch and Jam... This is a post up game.

t-mac get along with everyone just fine
where did you get he didn't get along with yao and battier?
t-mac and yao hang out in china while t-mac was playing in cba
you don't see them as close as this team right now
because back then there is no twitter, instagram, social stuff so you just don't know about it
you are the first person i hear from that t-mac is not a better all around player than haren
t-mac play on both side on the floor
he is our best play maker (imho i think he is better playmaker than haren, haren just playing for the assist number, he is not moving the ball fast enough)
he is our best wing defender (yes he is better than battier, just that he has to save energy on offense, so he can't defend on every position)
just haren flopping alone is enough to get t-mac ahead of him as a better player

That's a damn lie McGrady got along with everyone he and Yao were close, it was just this summer I saw a pic of Yao visiting McGardy and his son at his home...as were and he and JVG.

McGrady & Yao were both team players, their knock was being too passive at times deferring to each other.

He didn't always get along with Battier.

I remember after one game he was dissing Battier on national tv for taking the last shot.

Have to give McHale his props, his system was doubted by many including myself but with the cast that we have, he's done a good job of spacing out our talents.

I'm liking the rotation patterns the past couple of games where our lineup down the stretch is Howard/Parsons/Harden/Lin/Beverley. He's also figured out that Hamilton is the next most effective guy after Lin on the bench when things go wrong. I like Hamilton's decision making ability for the most part, his game fits well with our team flow.

So I believe that he's got the rotation streamlined at the right time and the players are finally accepting their roles. Now it's just getting a nice groove going using this formula so we can head into the playoffs with consistency and confidence.

The team chemistry is unbelievable at this time, even Asik showing positivity :) So congrats to coach McHale, hope the team can get him March as well!
