Houston Rockets superstar guard Tracy McGrady lost another play-off series, his sixth straight. I feel bad for the guy. He did his best, but his team lost focus at the end game. T-Mac was constantly double-teamed, forcing him to give up the ball, and as a result, his teammates failed to deliver, particularly Juwan Howard. […]

Houston Rockets superstar guard Tracy McGrady did not look that good at all in their second game against the Utah Jazz. But what I liked about him is he has taken full responsibility of how far the Rockets will go in the playoffs. He refers to Houston as “his team.”

Tracy McGrady has already missed his seventh straight game due to back spasms. But they are still in the thick of the fight in the highly competitive Western Conference. Thanks to the stellar play of Yao Ming.
But earlier today, in their game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Yao fell to the floor six minutes into […]

He is extremely hard working, he dives for loose balls, he is smart and athletic, he could score from both outside and inside, but does not demand the ball a lot, he plays his role without hesitation, […]
