[chron] Rockets' McGrady leans on Yao after carrying load by himself with Magic

Looks like he's playing some defense to me:

McGrady Defense

 

Oh I will do the honors.....

 

ok...

he got back on defense quickly after that

 

dude.. they had 1.3 seconds to go the length of the court

... it wasn't even close

 

I can't tell you how many times I've watched the ending and it was closer than you think. I was yelling at the tv. I'm not blaming TMac by any means...there were two other Rocket defenders running back as well.

If you see it again you'll notice after McGrady celebrates he snaps out of it and turns real fast to get back into the play.

 

That's called passion. If he hadn't of let all that emotion out after hitting the game winner he would of imploded! Give the man a break....that was 110% passion flowing out of his body.

 

So if he snaps out of it and starts heading back on defense real fast, then what's the problem.

 

He's got a good outlook for the team, and believes in what he and Yao can do.

But he's also very confident. That's what comes across. And you know what? You need that, especially in your superstar.

He talks with a little ego, but in this game and considering what he can do, I'm alright with that.

Also..

I've been wondering where those are as well. I miss them.

 

It's really good to see them bonding. They are showing quiet leadership but both of them need a strong figure to help them out and right now Sura seems to be that person on the team.

 

I don't think great players ever are "humble." They all have to think they're the man, which T-Mac does. I wouldn't want T-Mac to be humble. But it is the right way to carry yourself off the court. Hakeem was great off the court, but he sure wasn't "humble," and that turned out all right.

 

great article oh man i cant wait for the 2nd half of the season

 

cant make everyone happy no matter what you do.

but i took the humble quote as him trying to explain how there similar people and he was suprised about that.

 

Because the guy had already run past him. It's not a big deal.

 

Well that's completely untrue. Here's what actually happened:

T-Mac makes the game winning three, and then pumps his fist.



Notice the time on the clock, 1.7 seconds.



At this point, he turns his head back and gets back in defensive mode. Time is still at 1.7 seconds.



Here's the inbounds. Notice T-Mac is in his defensive stance.



T-mac picks Parker up and and blocks his way.



Not wanting to commit a foul, T-Mac lets Parker get by him to put up the shot.




You made it seem like Tracy's head wasn't in the game, and he almost allowed the Spurs to score. The only reason that he let the guy get by him was because he didn't want to risk a foul. That's a judgement call, and in my mind it was the right call to make in that situation.

 

Sorry Faos,

 

Heh. OWNED

 

Great recap m_cable....

Moochie would be on the table with his jersey off on the inbounds play..... but who's talking about moochie nowdays

 

Why are there two non-players on the court (in the paint)? The game has not ended yet.

 

They are looking for Artest.
