    This seems appropriate.

    Why the hell would he not wish that?

    McGrady could have been drafted to the Lakers with a prime Shaq.

    Love could have gone to some other mediocre franchise.

    Tracy would have at least 1-3 championships. Kobe may not have any.

    Again, why the hell would he not wish to at least be healthy and on a great team in his career. Harden had the luxury not many players have last night. Which is to mostly play awful but still win convincingly in a playoff game.

    Not taking anything away from our win but Minnesota is soft, especially compared to Dallas & Utah in the mid-2000s, and we were 4th or 5th seed.

    TMac loved Houston?

    This is the guy that was injured and didn't play in the playoffs... yet chose the Lakers to win the title, while his teammates were still playing in the playoffs.

    Whenever he talks about Harden either he criticizes him like last year, now he is looking jealous. Tracy McGrady should've stayed in Toronto or go to a loaded team in Free Agency, but hey pick money over winning a Championship result is playoff failures, lol when he was bench player with the Spurs when they went to the Finals he thought he was going to win a Championship but lost in the Finals, the next year he left the Spurs than the Spurs won the Championship in 2014

    None of the Tmac Only Fans are from Houston or even within 1000 miles from the city of Houston

    Tmac didn't want another star , he left Toronto because Vince Carter was the bigger star (and better player as time clearly shows)

    Yeah makes sense. Rockets defense has surprised me. Clint Capela tearing it up on both ends of the floor. Defense is good at picking up the switch.

    Back in the Tmac days, Yao ming was a little slow. He had that great wall of yao ming post up move and a good shot but would get owned sometimes of people his size.

    Who owned Yao? he played great against big competition like Shaq.

    If you talking about getting fronted, that's the fault of the passer not being about get the ball in quickly to the big guy.


    Explain how Ron Artest and Yao won a playoff series
