Around SBN: The Worst Team Ever Projected?

Poll: What to do with McGrady?

We all know that the current plan for McGrady is to sit out every other game when the team has back-to-backs (4 more to go in a row!).  But even when T-Mac plays, he's been uninspiring.  So, I submit the following... what do you think:

Poll
What should the Rockets do with Tracy McGrady?
Continue letting him play every other game. The Rockets are still winning, after all.
5 votes
Trade him. Now.
48 votes
Don't let him play until he is 100% healthy and willing to take the ball to the basket
105 votes
Give Crazy Pills "5 minutes alone" with T-Mac to knock some sense into him

Is it bad,

that every time I think of Tmac now, I think of Marbury?

Marbury is worse

At least T-Mac doesn’t hog the ball on offense. He just forces us to play 4 on 5.

The chron article

when the Rocket player said they “feel wanted” when McGrady is off the court. That isn’t T-Mac’s fault. Even when T-Mac is playing, the other players have to play their game. Why isn’t Adelman emphasizing this? Despite McGrady only playing with like 50% health, the role players stand around watching him waiting for him to create like he’s 100% healthy.

This is exactly what we saw in the Toronto game. They kept passing to T-Mac instead of running the offense by moving and cutting. T-Mac must’ve been thinking, why the hell do you keep passing me the ball?

Seeing how Crazy Pills doesn't have any sense himself

I can’t see how he could knock any sense into another player. Because all the attention is focused on T-Mac, everyone forgets how terrible he’s been playing on offense. Like I thought before we acquired him, the dude is a total ballstopper and isn’t playing like a team player. He hasn’t bought into this system at all.

The offense looked a lot better in the Hawks game because T-Mac AND Artest weren’t playing. Adelman’s challenge this season was to further integrate those two players in the offense. It’s been a total failure so far, and their injury situation are making it worse.

How quick we all are to forget

that triple double he put up a few weeks ago…

by Only_A_Lad on Jan 4, 2009 10:59 PM CST reply actions  

If hes healthy and actually trying...

…then I dont see why he couldnt do that every game. But the fact is that hes not healthy, not trying, and our coach doesnt have the balls or doesnt seem to care to bench him!

uhhhh

That was the most ridiculously overrated triple double ever. For the very same reason that Wilt Chamberlain could average 50 points and 30 rebounds in a season and his team was still not very good.

OUCH

I just saw this from Blinnbury – and I thought I was harsh on T-Mac. Ouch.
