He wasnt injured the year before last year and yet his averages have dipped, especially his scoring.

a 100% healthy tmac will be a very dangerous player indeed

The reason they dipped because he wasn't the only scoring option anymore. He has Yao alongside so he doesn't have to carry the burden of scoring all the points or grabbing a lot of rebounds. He's still the best playmaker and scorer on the Rockets. If he can be healthy he can be really good like last last year in the first round of the playoffs against dallas.

Bottom line, T-Mac is easily one of the top players in the league period. He has a bad back that keeps him from playing at 100 percent, but still puts up numbers when he plays. Trust me if he was healthy Houston would be a force in the Western conference. To anybody saying he is on the decline, let me see you go out on the basketball court with a bad back and do half the things he can do. I have been a T-Mac fan since he was in Toronto, and I will remain one until he retires. I'm ghost!

Look at the link below. His numbers are practically identical year in and year out. He dropped a bit in points from Orlando to Houston because Orlando has no other scorers and he dropped some in boards last season because he was hurt all year.
So, I don't know what you're talking about when you say his numbers are dropping. They are absolutely not dropping.
If he's healthy, he's a stud, and he's only not been healthy for one season. Is Amare Stoudemire on the decline? He was even more hurt than T-Mac, but nobody's saying that about him.

Of course T-mac is doing better in orlando he averages over 30 points a game opposed to when he played for orlando and only averaged about 25 points a game. He has become a better all around player. I give him 2 more seasones before hs ready to retire.

The reason why T-Mac isn't the same as he use to be in Orlando is he wasn't injured as much as he has been when he was with Orlando. This season will be his year though. Expect to see the Houston Rockets make it to the playoffs.

His average has dipped because he has better players with him in Houston, but he is not the same player as before because of the injuries.

trust me T-mac is better player in houston because he is passing the ball more and he is a consistint scorrer and he is still a clutch player and with injury he was averaging 24p-6r-5a and if health he would of avarging 32p-9r-7a and he is ready to play because he said they are haters out their saying that he would retire soon or he will never be the same again and T-mac said that will motivate him for next season and now T-mac been health they will make the playoffs and will be the mvp next year.

Because of the back surgery, he's steadily declining, even though he does still have a few more good years left.
