We eat so many shrimp I got iodine poisoning
So his first year in Houston we lost to a 58 win Mavs team 3-4..........Game 7 we score 76 total points, Yao has 33 and 10, T-Mac has 27/7/7....nobody else on the team scores more than 7 points
Next season he got hurt and missed most of the season
The following season is the woat and was this bullshit
Lost in 7 to the Utah Jazz because we no answer for Boozer, Okur and Williams....T Mac averaged 25/7/6, Yao was 25/10...our next best player was Rafer Alston
Next year McGrady is hurt going into the playoffs and we have no Yao Ming....we lose in 6 to Utah while McGrady puts up 27/8/7
It's basically over at this point.....this next season we get to the second round without McGrady and lose to the Lakers in 7...this was our best team and best chance to do something since we had Artest...that series also provided this classic moment

GUILTY BY AFFILIATION
. 2004-05 Rockets. TMac, Yao, and a 34 year old Jimmy Jackson. Lost to the favored Mavs
. 2006-07 Rockets. TMac, Yao and Skip 2 my Lou Lost to the Jazz who made it to the Finals that year.
. 2007-08 Rockets. Same core as above. Lost to Jazz again.
. 2008-09 Rockets. TMac was hurt most of the season and didn't play in the playoffs.
Giannis has a way better team than TMac ever did in Houston.
Jalen Brunson carried the Mavs vs Utah until Luka got back. Luka had help.

Nets Facing Brewing Disaster Due to Kevin Durant's Affinity For Kyrie Irving
The Nets could be facing trouble this offseason.
www.thebiglead.com
Winfield reported two important nuggets -- the Nets are now "unwilling" to give Irving a max contract extension, and Kevin Durant hasn't spoken to Brooklyn's front office since he got sent home for the summer by the Celtics.
Nugget No 1:
This is why, as I’ve already written, the Nets’ championship hopes hinge on an amicable solution with Irving, whose personal decision not to get vaccinated and unpredictable injury history have left the Nets hesitant, and now, according to a source familiar with the Nets’ thought process, outright unwilling to give him a long-term extension.
And Nugget No. 2:
If Irving leaves outright as a free agent this summer, disgruntled by the Nets’ hardball stance on his availability, Brooklyn doesn’t have the cap space to replace him with a star, which means Durant, entering Year 16, could be playing with a questionable Ben Simmons (back surgery) and a roster full of role players.
That’s a first-round exit at best – if Durant stays to see it, and according to multiple sources, Durant and the Nets front office have not spoken since they were swept out of the first round.
In layman’s terms, if Irving leaves the Nets, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Durant becomes frustrated with the organization’s ability to put championship pieces around him.
Winfield also accurately points out that Irving will not settle for some kind of short-term arrangement that pays him well while allowing the Nets future flexibility. If he opts into his player option this summer and goes into next year on an expiring contract, one wrong step could lead to an injury that tanks his future earnings potential to an extreme degree. Irving's talent alone gives him the leverage to demand an arrangement more suitable-- and now it appears he has Durant to use as leverage, too. Which isn't necessarily new information, but it seems nearly certain now that Durant's opinion of his mercurial teammate hasn't been altered enough to be open to a big change.

Okay. Even though I watched Brunson do nothing half the games against Phoenix while also being a liability on defense.
TMac never had any help in any series. It’s settle Brunson >> Yao and every player TMac ever played with

Any team giving him a long term option would be a fool.
Short term deals only if I’m a GM
