T-Mac Voicing His Frustration

Here's the Post Game Stuff:
The Orlando Magic held off the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night, 102-87. While the Magic led for much of the game, Houston kept fighting back thanks to big performances from Carl Landry and Aaron Brooks. Orlando snapped their seven-game losing streak to Houston and secured their 22nd win of the season.
- After the game, Tracy McGrady told reporters that it's time for his minutes to increase. He said that he feels fine and ready to return to his normal role. He called his brief stints in the game his short "cameos" and voiced his frustration about playing less than ten minutes each night.
- When asked about McGrady, Rick Adelman had this to say: "Let's talk about the game. I've talked about that for six games. I'm looking to see how he can play, that's the bottom line. That's all I'm looking for."
- One Magic player commented on McGrady's play and joked that it doesn't mean much since he was playing "buddy ball" with his cousin Vince Carter.
- HOOPSWORLD caught up with Otis Smith after the game and he said that the team isn't where it should be at this point and said that despite all of the moves he made over the summer, he's still looking for ways to make this team better. Be sure to check out the entire interview when it goes up tomorrow. He spoke about Brandon Bass and Marcin Gortat and dealing with Portland among other things.
- Dwight Howard continued his stellar rebounding and defense tonight but once again didn't see too many touches on offense with just five field goal attempts. Vince Carter, Rashard Lewis, Jameer Nelson, and Ryan Anderson all took at least the same number of shots as Howard. Dwight has 38 blocks in the month of December but just 91 shot attempts, a number that should worry Magic fans as the team is most efficient when Howard is getting touches.
- The Magic are 14-2 this season when five or more players score in double figures. Tonight, Vince Carter, Jameer Nelson, Rashard Lewis, Ryan Anderson, and Dwight Howard all finished with double digit point totals.
The Orlando Magic's next game will be on Christmas against the Boston Celtics. Orlando was 2-2 against Boston last season but have won seven of the last eight matchups in the Amway Arena. The Houston Rockets take on the New Jersey Nets on Saturday as they look for their seventh win of the season.

I say
Move it up a minute or two every other game to see how he responds. I don’t want McGrady getting injured again. Yesterday was a real great game by McGrady in the 8 minutes he had to play. It showed me he still has passion and still has the potential to contribute to this team.
Adelman will not err again
He has learned his lesson with what he did with Webber.
to quote the Toadies
“here… we…. go…. again….”
(no no no more son of a bitch!)
Tracy, shut the fuck up. You have played mediocre in your return. There is no reason to increase your minutes. You are not the coach. Nor are you the “franchise” anymore. Learn your role and stick to it. And for once in your life, keep the drama inside the locker room. And stop bitching to the media.
I'll take T-Mac's "mediocre" play over Ariza's right now
I’d be fine with T-Mac/Ariza splitting 20-25 min each.
