Since UY the great hasn't started this up yet, I figured I would start it. The season starts on the 29th against Memphis and we still have one more preseason game against the Kings on Thursday the 23rd. This is our season guys, lets root for the greatest basketball team on the planet, the HOUSTON ROCKETS!!!!!!!

lets hope so being that i'm a rockets fan....but tracy will not play in the season opener which leads me to wonder how healthy he is after the sugeries and if he can perform like the best player i know he is....

because without tracy (even with artest) the rockets are doomed

he'll be ok and so far his status is day to day

houston rockets 6-4

He should play, he says he is confident he can play in the Kings game that is on thursday. So I think he should be ready in 9 days.

 

Here is his status report right now: http://www.nba.com/fantasy/fantasy_playernews.jsp?date=10/20/08&type=news#tracy_mcgrady

LOL.  Yeah, because he's made so big a difference before.  Whatever.  McGrady is a glorified role player in this championship run!  We're deep.  We're good.  We're on our way.

I don't even know what that means.  Maybe it's the missing punctuation and lower case.  Maybe that's sarcasm on my part.  Maybe not.

It might not be anybody's FAULT ... but McGrady hasn't played championship basketball during the playoffs.  He might get his #s but he doesn't make the team better.  Only teams win championships.

With a healthy Yao, this TEAM _ CAN _ do well ... with or without Tracy.  There is nothing delusional about that.

 Is anyone else siked for this season? We finally have a great balance on offense and defense and we have great bench players. T-mac is a great leader, Rafer finally figured out how to play the PG, Yao is a beast nuff said, Ron Artest is a solid defender, and all of our supporting players will help us throughout this season. This is our year guys!!!

thats interesting that you say he dosen't make his team better since MOST of the players can't even get a shot without him.....as a matter of fact he's the only palyer who seems to be able to get the ball to yao without turning it over.... if leading the team in almost every major category in the playoffs does not mean he plays on a championship level then i would like to know what championship ball looks like.....teams do win championships but what would the team be without there primary playmaker....yes the team can do well without mcgrady but they will NOT win a championship without him and anything less will be a disappointment.....

Yeah, he's led in major categories during the playoffs.  Where's that gotten us or ANY of his teams?  He's so great but hasn't gotten out of even the first round ONCE?  We're not even talking Finals, man.  We're talking ONE SERIES.  ANY TEAM he's ever played on in the NBA.

And as good as his #s may have been, you and I BOTH know they could be better.  McGrady plays crippled, literally and figuratively.  He SETTLES for too many jumpers.

Look, I'm rooting for the guy.  But he hasn't won anybody over here ... or anywhere.

It's probably the best 2 fast 2 furious type game I have ever played. (if you know what I mean by 2 fast 2 furious style). It has more customization than you can imagine. It might take you like 5 races to get used to the environment and the handling of the cars. But once your past that part you can really get good at the game. And pimp your car out the way you like it and the cop chases are a lot of fun. Oh and there is a very good selection of cars, that is always good. So I would give it a 8.5 out of 10.

We looked pretty good against the Kings. T-mac looked fine with 14 points and a couple of rebounds and steals. Aaron Brooks had 15 points which surprised me a little.

No, you need to go to surfthechannel.net and watch ... like I am.

Offense is making me nauseous though.

Good thing we're playing the Grizzlies.  They're playing even worse.

McGrady still can't hit free throws, by the way ...

SIGH.  See, here's the deal with McGrady.  He's supposed to have all this talent.  I never see him break a defender down like ... say Kobe.  He just took some horrible turnaround.  I don't know.  I'm actually cringing when he gets the ball.  It's kinda like Chuck Hayes has the ball.  OK, that's an exaggeration but ...
