Tweet of the Night: Tracy McGrady not happy with LaMarcus Aldridge for putting on a shooting display against the Rockets

Tracy McGrady has moved on from his basketball career and is now venturing into a new phase of his life.

That doesn’t mean he’s not paying attention to what’s going on in the NBA, though, and he has certainly taken notice of the play of LaMarcus Aldridge in the first round of the playoffs against McGrady’s former team.

In the first two games against the Houston Rockets, LaMarcus Aldridge is averaging a blistering 44.5 points on 57.6 percent shooting from the field. On Wednesday, he had 43 points on 18-of-28 shooting with eight rebounds and three blocks, helping the Blazers beat the Rockets 110-105 for a shocking 2-0 lead while playing both games on the road. Houston has simply found no solution to slow down Aldridge, who has been making just about anything he throws at the basket.

Somewhat sarcastically, here’s what McGrady had to say while watching Aldridge tear the Rockets apart:

Damn ‘LA’ why you gotta do my Rockets like this?

It’s sarcasm in the sense that he’s clearly complimenting the power forward on his amazing shooting display. The two teams face each other again on Friday, and it’s pretty much do-or-die time now for the Rockets.
