Better not to make it than to be raped 4-1 (really 4-0) and QQ about it.

I see my ability to make people cry on forums has not been lost.

like I'd ever believe the Celtics only have a 3% chance of winning

No team looked dominant a all this post season except the Cavs before Orlando, and the Lakers when they felt like they should stop the bullshit. I think Boston can give both of them a run, more so the Lakers than Cleveland.

but please don't run in Kgs injury, it hurts me too

Yao T-mac needs to suck it up and put some iron platings on their knees and foot. fucking bone fractures over and over. With those 2 players Huston could have taken out the Lakers this year.


Fixed. Yao yes - T Mac needs to leave. He's just not good at all.

Because he's an Orlando fan. They've been bitching since people told them Rajon Rondo is better than Jameer Nelson.

Should we just keep this thread to talk about the draft?

TMac can still be a very good player if he can stay healthy, but his game doesn't complement Yao's at all and we all know which is the player that Houston should hold onto. He's an inefficient volume scorer, but he is a great passer for a swingman, can go into an unstoppable scoring mode when he's on, and is a decent-to-good defender depending on his health. Let's not forget that he was the one leading the Rockets last season when they went on that ridiculous 22-game win streak.

Cyric that was last season, what has he done this year?

Also if he's back into the rotation who do you take out?

Yao-Artest-Battier-Brooks are the solid 4 and I'd argue the playoff run vs the Lakers is more impressive than the 22 game win streak. Houston certainly has the ability and pieces to contend for the chip and I think getting rid of T-Mac when possible for a better option and future with Brooks is the way to go.

T-Mac is like a poor man's Kobe - and he doesn't even have all the skills you need for a superstar going for the glory.

Additional thought: Rip Hamilton would be a decent fit in Houston. Sorry Detroit fans, I couldn't resist

Should have clarified, but when I was talking about how TMac and Yao don't go together, and that Houston obviously should keep Yao, I was implying that TMac could be good on another team.
