Wow, that must be the screenshot of the ESPN 360 cameras. So they are saying that's an elbow only to the upper chest? Man, some people are blind in New York.

in HOW SWEET IT IS!!! ROCKETS ADVANCE TO NEXT ROUND! on Yao Ming Mania
"since HE PICKED THE LAKERS LAST WEEK TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, MEANING HE DOESN’T THINK HIS VERY OWN TEAM IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BEAT THEM."
I beg to differ... T-Mac verbally said in a interview that Cavs cannot beat anyone in the finals in the West. And he said he was confident that Rockets will pass Blazers and he is confident even against the Lakers. He said if the Rockets beat the Lakers, we would also beat whichever Eastern team in the Finals. These statements may not be very meaningful, but it just shows that he has not abandoned this team despite him being left out.
Here is the link of the audio interview...

I will listen to that interview, but I heard he gave a second
interview (probably the one you're linking to) after realizing he screwed up in a first interview where he was asked flat out who he thought would win and he responded with one word and no caveats: "Lakers." I heard Sportsradio610 in Houston play the audio this morning.
And by the way, where was he last night? Deke comes hobbling 4 days after surgery on crutches, and McGrady's MIA. He knows he's in the dog house after that Laker prediction and is no longer a part of this
team. Pathetic.

in Another loss to the Lakers knocks Rockets down the standings on Yao Ming Mania
I was at this game last night, I agree with you Carl could've helped in getting some of those offensive rebounds. I asked Keith Jones when Carl would be back and he said there isn't an exact date yet. But I did see Carl in the pre-game shoot around and he looked pretty good. Another thing about last night was the poor FT shooting by the Rockets. Yao missed on a technical FT, and a FT on a 3pt. play. Also, a bunch of 24 sec. shot clock violations showed that their offense really wasn't running smoothly. I think the Rockets will take care of business at home on Sunday and finish the season strong after this tough stretch.
On another note, Yao and Mutumbo both stopped pre-game and signed my basketball =). That was the biggest highlight of my night!

So Lamar will be suspended vs the Rockets on Wednesday for stepping off the bench right? That would be one less Faker to worry about.

My brother Vince. No I have never stepped onto a nba court, or even a ncaa court but I have played ball n still do. I not only follow the sport since I can remember, but I also studied psychology. Studying human behavior is what I adore. From what I understand, basketball is not just a physical sport. So from my studies I conclude that you're an idiot.

in Rockets gift to Bulls a sobering reminder on Yao Ming Mania
Haha... "Smart thinking fans" would actually give constructive criticism. I'm glad Yao Ming had the sense to pick a true fan to go to Beijing last summer. Not someone that'll backstab the team like 80% of the people here. I'm not just trying to defend T-Mac, the Yao haters are just as worst.

Like I said... a healthy T-Mac. Didn't see anyone complaining about T-Mac during 2nd half of last year. You're just like everyone else on this site, thinking you are GM+Coach+Trainer+Owner. Nice to see all the support by the fans when things get tough... all you people complaining now will jump back on the bandwagon after they win a few more games again and jump right off when things get tough.

A healthy T-LACK??? When???
Ever since he joined the Rockets, he had yet a 82-game full season.
The following were the games he played for the Rockets in the past 5 seasons:
04 ~ 05 78 games
05 ~ 06 47 games
06 ~ 07 71 games
07 ~ 08 66 games
08 ~ 09 35 games
In fact he was/is an injury-prone player even back at the days when he played for Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic.
Yeah he used to penetrate, drive the lane for dunks for fouls.....but that was looooooooooooooog gone. He had been downgraded to just a very mediocre jump-shooter for the past 2 to 3 years as a Rockets.
Fans were criticizing for the loss, because they're afraid the ghost of T-LACK will be attached to Ron Artest, turning him into just another egocentric me-mine-my player who put personal glory, high stats ABOVE the team, and forgot what the Houston Rockets was/is good at.
The Rockets will never achieve greatness if they are just a dumb-stupid run-and-gun, jump-shooting team. They were/are a team designed and built and excelled in half-court offense and defense, and built around Yao Ming as the nucleus/core. Go away from and ignore Yao Ming as the main go-to-guy, they are destined to doom.

Well, I actually didn't complain last night because Ren covered the game for me, and Ren's post was very diplomatic. Now as far as the commenters on this site, you should probably address it with them directly. There's a little "reply" link under each post where you can respond to each fan's comment directly.
For the record, McGrady only played in like half of the games during the 22-game winning streak last year. And this isn't really a "blind fan" site like you might want it to be. It's a "smart, thinking fan site" where we applaud them when they are playing well, and hold players and coaches accountable when they aren't. If you'd like a Kool-Aid drinking site, I'm sure there are plenty of sites out there where the fans are like lemmings and blindly believe everything they are told, or let the players do whatever or say whatever they want, only to have the team never do anything (Clippers?).

A healthy T-Mac would've drove in the lane for fouls. For all you guys that think this team is better without him you are dead wrong. Nice post by Ren, it would've been torture to read if John wrote this entry.

John here. "McGrady drive the lane for fouls?" What planet have you been on? Ha! He would have jacked up 3s like he always does. The last time he drove the lane late in a game for fouls was a couple of years ago, or when the fans and media would jump on him to do so. And even then, he'd miss 1 or 2 free throws.
His lack of 'health' has been a crutch; he even said when he took the 2 weeks off for rehab that he never felt better.

in A new era begins with a dramatic win over Dallas on Yao Ming Mania
McGrady will be T-Mac once again, mark my words. Why doesn't anyone realize his poor play is due to his injury, people just keep ripping him up worse than Marbury? But I'll leave it at that if everyone else will... don't want to spoil a great victory for the Rockets last night. I am sold on Kyle and Brooks now for the PGs though, just hope Brooks feels more comfortable and not be as nervous as he was last night.

Yeah, he will be the same TMAC....the same egocentric me-my-mine player.... 1 year later if he genuinely goes for the microfracture surgery, and works on his rehab diligently and dedicatedly this time round......and continues to haunt this team for another season.
Ke
Do you even look at his stats besides the ppg and apg? He's a fucking guard and he shoots a miserable FT%. His FG% is below 40% and he averages around a career 40%. His 3-point FG% is atrociously worse. The guy always had mediocre defense at best and couldn't rebound at all. Now that he's injured, he's much worse.
You can put A.I. on the 2002-2003 Magic and he would be much better than McGrady.

in Bucks blowout bumbling Rockets; change is surely on the way on Yao Ming Mania
Tracy McGrady will not be traded, do you guys not remember T-Mac's performance in the playoffs? You've definitely changed John, you use to support the Rockets through the thick and thin even when Yao went out last season, now your posts are just like every other fake Rockets fan who talks more shit than a sewer plant.

It's time for realism. McGrady doesn't have it any more, either mentally or physically. And he's not the only one they need to consider trading. Anyone who doesn't see this after losing to so many bad teams has their head in the sand or is blind. It's time for change, baby.
YaoMingMania
Oh, I forgot to mention that by suggesting they make trades, that IS supporting them through thick and thin. The worst thing that someone can do is not care, to the point they stop watching, which is what people will do if they keep this same roster in tact.
