The Rockets finally see the light....

The Rockets finally decided to sit Tracy McGrady down.   TMAC will be out for two weeks to try and get his knee in playing shape.  All this play one game sit for the next was not the way to go.  A healthy McGrady is still a player who can carry the Rockets, we know what 70 or 80 percent of TMAC gets you.  So let Tracy rehab his knee and give it ago in two weeks.

Of course the Rockets are saying all the right things, it was a mutual decision and it was time to try something different.  I heard down at the Toyota Center Today (Monday) that McGrady was basically told get your knee in shape to play everyday or you're done.  If this is the case, it was about time.   McGrady use to be a superstar who could call his own shots, but helping one day and hurting the team the next will bring everyone down.

The Rockets can now move forward and see where they stand without TMac.  Ron Artest is still out, but we know Ron will comeback like gangbusters.   Rockets and Lakers Tuesday night, it doesn't look good on paper, but neither did the game in Boston.
