    Having a bad season. I mean, he can perform well but his motivation/energy level is unacceptable. He kinda chooses games. One night he is aggressive scoring 10+ and playing well and the other one he is like 1/4 and doesn't really care about the game and gives NO energy. This is sad but Tracy has always been that. LAZY

    But also it is Drew's fault. I talked to ATL journalists (on twitter) and they all agree that Tracy should play much more than those 16 minutes (not even every night). Marvin is struggling BIG time. If he can't make outside shots he doesn't do ANYTHING else well.

    Tracy at least can make plays for their stars, commands double team on the post and is actually a better player than Marvin. But they say Drew is very concerned about TMac and saving him to the point where he doesn't use him.

    So, no energy+bad coaching = bad season

    Lol, that's always been his playing style to look really smooth, but, now, he's got no lift, no legs. He's old, he's wants you to think he's not trying, but if he tried his damndest he'd still put up maybe 8-9 a game. He's a bench guy now, if that.

    Not really. Sure his athleticism is not what it used to be, he doesn't have the same elevation and everything but he can play. He has had few nice games when he WANTS to.

    He is not the same, not even 60% of that but can really play well if he puts his mind into it and he often refuses to.

    I think his energy is just him not wanting to get injured before the playoffs. I think we are going to see a different tmac in the playoffs. I mean he shows hints of his talent. He still has game and can contribute in more ways than scoring. Most fans seem to be forgetting that he is fighting for a contract for next season, he's probably eyeing at least the mid-level. And noone is going to judge for his stats in regular season, contenders are going to be looking at his playoff stats.

    I'm fine with what he is doing right now. Showing glimpses here and there. As long as he doesn't get injured by the playoffs game, t-mac is gonna show the hard work of the past 3 years.

    At least i'm hoping to see that from him.

    He's going to try his hardest come playoff time and his stats will show, I already know this.

    Why doesn't he do it now?

    Typical, coasting.

    You do realize you gave me two options. I can't ban myself, and I am not paying.

    Your input has been noted and appreciated.

    Yes, I am going to reply to everyone. I rarely follow threads long enough to do so, but for this one I am making an exception.

    You're right, man...I didn't even realize it. I do care. I care so much. I was just making bs excused because I was so upset that I had let all of these beautiful random strangers down. I just returned my food to heb so I could pay up asap.

    I hope you can wait a 3 business days while debit card pends the transfer.

    So sorry that I annoyed you. I hope this helps my cause.

    ....No
    At one point i actually was on your side with this until you started mouthing off about "not caring-i don't have too-this isn't real life"
    Regardless of the matter, you made the bet. Either honor it or forget about it. Why get yourself into this situation.
    What did you think would happen if you didn't?
    Roses and chocolates would waiting for you from the other members?
    You don't want anything to do with it because others pissed you of?
    Yes we understand that but that's only because of how immature your being about it. You can just stop wasting your time with this argument because they will keep chasing you about it.
    Its cool that your going to give the money without telling anyone....so stop responding and do it when you can.
    Until they keep getting a response out of you were still going to believe that you haven't paid.

    I am truly sorry I lost a fan.I
    I've always had an issue with getting the last word. And lately there hasn't been anything interesting to read on here so I'll likely keep responding for the foreseeable future.

    Exactly. What's most annoying is that this guy trying to act clever. But cut him some slack, he's probably just some kid who bit off more than he can chew. His gross misapplication of a basic economic theory should tell you all you need to know about this guy's maturity level. That is, if you didn't already deduce that from his whining.

    i agree with you. i think he's coasting.

    when he bumped knees (forgot which game), i think he got scared and dialled himself back. then they said that he's having back problems again. i think theyre just using that as excuse when it's probably his knee acting up again.

    since ATL is in good positioning, i think theyre using the time to rest tmac's knees and drew is evaluating him.

    hopefully, they make the playoffs and tmac can go all out and get out of the first round.

    as a tmac fan, that's what im just hoping for him at this point in his career. get that chimp off of his shoulders, and probably retire.

    Terrible terrible misapplication of game theory. If only had paid more attention to Tsi Lin Min's lectures 3 years ago. Damn.

    My internet maturity level is slacking. All I am doing is whining and pissing off people I don't know. I am really struggling with what to do guys. I don't think I am clever enough to write something witty. Can one of you geniuses help me out?

    Or better yet, cite theories that you don't understand. That should get your point across! Good job!

    When all else fails, pour on the sarcasm without really saying anything! Nothing says you don't care like replying to every post. Now that's almost as awesome as backing out of bets like a little b****.

    What a b**** I am. Damn, wish I was right all the time like you. I feel the need to respond to each post. I am sorry that you don't like it. It really kills me that I am not making any friends today. I just want to be buddies. Maybe you can teach me economics? Or push me on the swing set? I have some icecream, do you like rocky road? Did you know that rocky road was called rocky road because of the tough times during the depression? I saw that on a picture of a naked girl when I stumbled yesterday. Now will you be my friend? Can I borrow 50 bucks? I care so deeply that I can't stop responding, but shh....don't tell anyone.

    This thread either needs to get locked up by the mods or renamed Official Trollin' on T-Mac Thread
