^ Agreed Miami fans are pretty weak during the regular season but when the playoffs roll around it gets pretty loud in that place with a sea of white shirts.

LOL Luke Scott is also a big fan of Sarah Palin.... I think that speaks for itself.

I don't really blame them for being extra careful. I mean say they throw him out on the court to fast and he goes down for good, that's actually a worse scenario than what they are doing with him now. They seem to be holding on to the guy when in reality they probably know he's one landing away from it all being over. It's early the Rockets seem to be getting better, I guess they see they can buy more time. Wasn't the ideal dream to make the playoffs and then work him over lol. Anyway RD is right his career is sadly over, it would be cool to have him as a bench player with a small contract low risk high reward if he plays well in the limited role.

LOL Whatever I already have accepted the Rockets are a Yao-less team. It doesn't bother me that he will be out longer, what bothers me is all the reports that said he would be back by the end of the week. At this point any article on Yao's return is bull[expletive].

Tracy looked good out on the court but clearly does not have the explosiveness. Some of his shots were flat and he had minimal lift his defense is still a bit lackadaisical. I don't see T Mac ever becoming a dominant NBA player again, but a role player situation for him looks good. I also like the way the fans handled it, loud boos then medium boos then it just went away all together not to harsh at all. I don't think it would have went down like that if he wasn't so loved by the city. They still do respect him that's for sure because it could have been meaner. I always remember the press conference introducing him because I went to the Toyota Center when the trade was made. Nothing normal about the presser at all, first of all it was held in the stadium and over 2,000 rowdy and excited fans showed up while in Orlando Steve Francis, Cat, and Cato were introduced in a small room in which Cato could barely fit in. They introduced Tmac by playing an awesome highlight reel on the big screen and he was clearly overwhelmed by the support.... so he did what he tends to do most and that's make optimistic comments. "Something big is going to happen in Houston, I can promise you that." I know people who will never forget that line. Tracy put a lot on his shoulders and fans obviously were not satisfied, so I think they respectfully let him know that tonight. I wish him luck for the future but like I have said in the past I am glad he's gone and I will be glad when Yao leaves or resigns as a bench player for cheap.

LOL 1.1m my best

I don't think it was that bad. The initial boo was loud but as the game went on it virtually went away. I think the fans have every right to let him know that they didn't like the way it ended and he wasn't the most quite person on the entire situation either. It was a constant influx of articles stating his displeasure, and some may not have been true of course but he's still an outspoken guy in the media and IMO it didn't help his cause. But again I thought the Rockets fans went easy on the guy, he said after the game it was nothing compared to Toronto. Chuck Hayes also made a good point before the game when he said during the Rockets history video they play at TC they still show T Mac and pay homage to him. I took the boo's as a "frustration" the same type that Tmac felt through the entire process and not as disrespect to his overall accomplishments as a healthy Rocket. Great night for Scola torching the Pistons, him and Lowry were on the same page all night. Brad Miller's worse game of the season I couldn't believe he air balled a wide open three, we are so spoiled by his good shooting that it came as a shock. Chase Budinger has lost all confidence in his game. He does possess the talent he proved it last year and Adelman kept him out on the court as long as he possibly could to help him get out of that slump and Chase failed. I don't know what he needs but someones gotta get that kid back up and running, confidence is his biggest setback. Also didn't like the whole JT and Courtney Lee combo but it's just one game. Rick was forced to play Lowry 42 minutes.

Ya great stuff from those two. The bench was just awful that's what I am worried about. They missed Ish quite a bit, Lee couldn't run the point and JT was lost. That bench stalled the offense so bad the starters came in and cleaned it all up. Hopefully this time around the bench shows up.

BOOOO BOOOO Lol fans not feelin Tmac in the building.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G9VCx8ewbE Should be interesting to see what the reception will be like for T Mac, some still respect the guy some celebrated when the Rockets finally got rid of him. Would have been even better if Yao was playing. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/7327585.html

"I just want to see how it works" :glasses:

December 17th can't wait, Oscar potential for Whalberg.

I love the decision involving Courtney Lee, he has really found a rhythm now and he plays solid defense on extremely athletic guards. Jermaine deserves a shot, in the past when they have played him you could tell you really were not seeing Jermaine at his best, he would come out and force up shots because in the back of his mind he knew he was heading right back to that bench in a few minutes so he might as well produce as much as he can in that short amount of time. I think that was hurting him more than helping, giving him legitimate minutes I hope will ease his pain and we see a more patient and smarter JT Not to mention with Budinger playing like such a piece of crap, Jermaine could turn out to be the spark that Bud was last year.

Witty guy that Neal is.

Ya it does but without that lazy method it doesn't even get mentioned. It's the lowest of the lowest but it's just like any other PSA you hear on the radio, it's mostly ignored. If putting up a cartoon pic means you "care" then I am all for it, but you have a lot of people struggling with financial issues now days and that supersedes external issues, it's selfish but it's the truth.

N.1.A.K. and others are logically right it doesn't help stop child abuse by putting a pic of a cartoon character as your facebook default, but at the same time it's just a trending thing to do on facebook right now and they have done this in the past also. It doesn't hurt anything and it's a fun way for people to show they care about the issue. Next step would be to donate, or help out in some way ya most probably wont and it will be on to the next social issue but it's a small reminder how lucky we all are....

It doesn't hurt it doesn't help but I think it's a cool idea for a good cause.
