the rockets are one game over .500 with tmac in the lineup - yes it's early, but like i pointed out in a different thread, when he's on the court the rest of the rockets just stand around and watch.....hell, they have the best seats in the house to do so, but unfortunately for them it makes them pretty easy to guard and tough for them to get open looks. if the rest of that team won't get off their asses and try to help mcgrady out, even he won't be able to carry them much over .500.
on the side note: i agree with chum here - not trying to take anything away from dirk, but tmac did everything he possibly could to get the rockets out of the first round. trying to make a case closed argument by saying dirk took his team to the wcf and tmac can't get out of the first round is just unfair. the guy has consistently been the unquestioned leader surrounded by second tier talent. that has hardly been dirk's situation.
