That tinman wasn't trolling.

 

The guy was a sweetheart on the court. Could never be count on when games really mattered

 

Happy Bird Day!

 

I've watched probably every single t-mac game as a rocket and every single Harden game since he has arrived here. Harden is a lot worse defensively, a lot.

 

Tmac is boss

 

Happy Birthday to one of the best players to put on a Rockets jersey.

I really don't understand the obsession with comparing McGrady to Harden. They were different players from different eras. They both had their strengths and they both had their weaknesses.

McGrady was a better defender than Harden. Harden's 2014-2015 was a better season, both individually and as a team, than any of McGrady's. Even though McGrady's first seasons here in Houston were really good.

In my mind, McGrady was undeniably the more physically talented player. His first years with the Rockets were amazing to watch. But he also undeniably underperformed (the only year we made it out of the first round was 2009 when he missed the entire playoffs) and he also undeniably quit on the Rockets' teams later in his career.

Harden in 2015-2016 also took several steps backwards. But, like I said, they are different players. If Harden retired right now, McGrady would be considered as the better player. But McGrady's NBA story is finished. Harden's is still being written. And for as long as Harden continues to be on the Rockets, I will hope and pull for him to be more and more successful.

 

Tmac fans have the lowest standards.

 

I've watched all the Tracy McGrady rockets games too.

There wasn't that many.

It's not an accomplishment.

That's like saying you read the cat in the hat book.

Or you watched a whole bugs bunny cartoon.

 

You know this OP loves to fish for you and ZBoy. Don't take the bait tinman ....This kid loves to stir the BS.

 

Roc
Who hasn't watched all of his rockets playoff games ?
It was only 20 games

 

We could really use his leadership, accountability and commitment to defense right now.

I have yet to hear James Harden take the blame for someone in the stands getting a Budweiser when they ordered a Heineken.

 

harden fans,,, not much different...

 

Er... Orlando Magic legend Tracy McGrady.

 

maybe

'Houston ex star player' 'regular season star player'

I liked Tracy when he was here though, no hard feelings

 

Toronto gane dont count. He was injured. Mac was lazy, but the league has never seen Harden level lazy!
