No one believed it back then... but this looks more legit in hindsight. It seems TMac may have only iso-ed himself from the rest of the team.
The way I see it is the Chinese media doesn't like how Tmac always play ISO bball so they made it into a bad word to describe what Tmac is going to do to poor widdle ol Yao. I WILL ISO YOU AND YOUR MOM!!! sounds horrible doesn't it?
or they know how deadly t-mac can be in the isolation, and he destroys people like that when healthy.....so he really said "We will destroy you yao!"
Yep, seemed true then, seems true now....because it is exactly the type of low character thing that Tmac does. Funny reading back at all the people who didn't want to even consider it possible.... DD
Yeah, for somebody who gets Yao the ball the best for the past few years, he did a horrible job of iso'ing Yao.
I don't think that is what he was talking about...to me it sounds like he was talking about in the locker room..etc......shut out, cut off....Iso'd...... DD
Yes, true....but it might be true, the guys reporting it apparently saw it.....sometimes these things happen. Beware of d..i...s....c.....o.....u.......n.......t.........i........n........g. DD
Wow, this board has digressed into a bunch of schoolgirls gossiping around the water fountain. I think many of us, including me, need to ISO ourselves from this board. Time to grab a basketball and hit the local park, people. Nothing to see here.
I cannot believe you think that ANY person who speaks english as their FIRST language would utter those words. "you will be iso-ed by us"?!!! does that match any speech pattern you have heard from mcgrady? ever?? or any other natural english speaker??? your hatred of mac has seriously clouded your judgement. 1. who gets the ball to yao in the post better than anyone on the team? 2. who drives and dishes to yao the most? the answer to both is not someone who is gonna "iso" yao...on or off the court.
Uh, we are talking about Tmac here, he says a lot of strange things...and yes, I could see a low character guy like him saying that. DD
DaDakota, you're being way too subjective about this. You're turning into a friggin drama queen this season to be quite honest.
I get that way sometimes....I know it....LOL. Maybe it is because I don't like players that quit on their teamates, and get asked to leave to get in shape in JANUARY. Either you believe it happened, or you don't pointless to argue about it...I know.....none of us really know. point taken though Qazi. DD
BREAKING NEWS: Rockets owner Les Alexander has just recently decided to sell his team to California, the Rockets will now be the: 90210 Rockets - The only drama team on the block.
DaDakota, love your posts but you are oldskool clutchfans (back when it was clutchcity!), had to call you out on that, no offense I hope . I definately understand your view and agree to a certain point. The guy is pretty much at the end of his career and is frustrated. He may have said something that can be twisted by the media (like that never happens). Let's just see if we exit the first round of playoffs this year and, if we do, drop bombs on him then. I will be there right there with ya hehe.
I heard tmac kills Japanese baby seals and eats them with hot sauce and carrot juice. he's a low character guy, so I can believe it. who cares that it's not in his behavior pattern. I believe it.
