How do you know they have not done that? And maybe they have, but he needed some public humility to show change on the court..... It is all speculative drama with Tracy...
Op missed More important information Jon Feign revealed. The team didn't prepared the game very well. I believed so. They didn't have the mindset to blow team away. They are thinking they can cruise a victory easily just like the fans here who yielded 'an easy win'. There's no easy win in NBA. It reminds me coach JVG reputation as 'the most prepared coach'. He set the tune, every regular game is a must-win #7 in a playoff series. No wonder he can he can get 50+ wins with so limited talents. But the owner didn't like his approach. The fans didn't appreciate his approach. They want 'fan'. Now you have fan. A 70-win potential team is competing for a playoff seat. Coach RA is definely one of the best. But I prefer JVG to him every time.
It is clearly evident we do not have the same team comradery (have no clue how to spell that word) as years past. Hopefully we get it together and make a push in the playoffs.
I think it was a good idea for Artest to call out Mac, Artest has been around Ithink he knows how some players work.
I love Tracy. Someone "talks too much" and then he plays decent defense. That being said, I can't wait to see this team in the playoffs. If the "Decent 3" are healthy good things will come.
talk too much ? maybe. is it a talk too? there is a chinese proverb that the thieves always yell catching thief .
Was that Rafer taking a veiled shot at McGrady? T-Mac's been the only individual who's been called out for every one of those three points. Were those heavy substitutions of "we" for "he"?
I've always wanted to tell TMac the he talks too much to the media, especially when what he says may make him look bad.
Take it a step further, here is what I found interesting. Is McGrady setting the tone in the shootaround? Maybe the lax (read lazy) shootaround suits his style, but isn't good for others.
The one guy on the team who more than anyone else needs to STFU and play says the Rockets talk too much..!
to those who criticize t-mac for this quote: 1. mcgrady talks the most but he's probably also asked the most because he'll always say what's going on in his mind. that's obviously not always good for him. 2. what mcgrady means is that there shouldn't be so much talk about individual players by other players. as far as i know t-mac has not put the blame on yao for missing so many easy shots around the basket. as far as i know he hasn't called out artest for not playing smart basketball. that's what he's saying. the rockets have so many problems that everyone can start with himself in terms of stepping it up. also, they should keep those things in the locker room.
