    Because he gave up on his team last year?

    Because he sleeps through team meetings?

    Because the only time he shows emotion in a game is when he's arguing with the ref?

    Because every teammate/coach he's ever had said the same thing? (and no, not just Weisbrod)

    Those are the facts and to add, things like giving a helping hand to a teamate when they just got floored and being within the inner circle when there is a huddle

    are little things but they do show to your teamates that your part of the group and such. T-Mac seems extremely introverted and reclusive. Whenever there is a group shot he seems distant from his mates off to one side.

    But I will give him the benefit of the doubt atleast for 1 season.

    No way, Zan Tabak would have been Finals MVP.

    To be fair to McCrady, Barkley and Iverson didn't care much about practice either. Hakeem didn't show much emotion in his later years, the same goes for Duncan.

    One more thing, as for giving up on a team, you-know-who gave up on his team in Vancouver on the first day.

    OMG, T-Mac gave up his team? That team gave up him. They promised they would do anything to build a legit team around him. They started bad mouthing him right after he left. That team, and organization is not worth playing for. Period. And, how about the fact Basketball is about team. How about other Orlando players, How about the management? what did they do to help T-Mac. None! what do you make of that? Besides, T-Mac won so many games for Orlando singlehandedly. You call that"give up a team?" I believe T-Mac giving up team" is the bull that Orlando management pulled in order to blame everything on T-Mac.

    Sleep through meeting? Do you know how many players sleep through meeting? Hey, maybe that particular meeting was really boring. U never know.

    Since when showing emotion is considered a plus in the league. If a guy who doens't like to show emotion, then he doesn't have the heart. again. Bull.

    There is not comparison. TMac is really a franchise player. The results will be even clearer in a couple of months. TMac will make everybody in this team better.

    Seat tight JR! You are going into a wild ride. Just how the hell did we beat Memphis, while we never won with Memphis last year with our old back court Duo on the rosters. Chill out! there is more great things to happen!!!:D

    Nice chemistry. Maybe we can get Mark Jackson to come back. We need a point.

    Uh, Not everyone was fans of the trade.

    Not everyone openly bashes their players.

    Building Toyota Center hurt us.

    :p


    It would have forced the Rockets to move to Charlotte and in return we would eventually become the Houston Bobcats complete with the beautiful unis.

    Wow, I think mtlkf is brilitant! I mean, is he the only one catching on that we lost so much. I mean think about what we gave up??!! Who would've known that Francis, Cato, and Mobley would've been the 1st ones to lose the to new expansion team!!!!! This goes out too all the others who thought we lost so much. Way to go Francis, scoring 9 against the Bobcats. Francis and Mobley combined tonight scored 3 points more than Mcgrady did last night. We sure missed out.........................
