When teams are doubling you, you have to find you're teammate who is being left open. thats what tracy was doing. 13 assists. during the crunch noone bsides yao was hotting anything. infact it was tracy who with a minute remaining attacked the rim and draw a 3 point play to put us up by 2. but from there okur went bannas and started getting offensive rebounds and hitting big shots. Against the jazz we lost fair and square. they had more weapons. but this season with scola, francis, james and wells, it will be a different story.
Right in 100%. I could even say that Jazz had much more happiness than we had but the main difference was the bench. When T-Mac and Yao were on the court we were able to fight with them but when Gircek came of the bench and Millsap and they were against Luther Head and Juwan Howard we had no chances.
Quit making excuses. You don't come out and say "It's all on me" and then disappear in the final six minutes of the game, that's straight-up weak. We all know Tmac is an amazing talent, the thing in question is his will to win. Remember the 35 seconds against the Spurs. We all know that ability is there, but does he have the balls to summon it up.
Wade didn't make any excuses as he slash and dash through the mavericks defense to a championship. What Tmac lacks is that Rufuse to lose mentality.
Tmac used to be seen as clutch when he was in Orlando. And of course, we all remember 13 points in 35 seconds. I really think that he still has that killer mentality in him, but has somewhat lost it in recent years because of his back injuries.
BIG DEAL! Everyone cries... I remember after Lakers lost to Pistons everyone on LA team was crying... Crying has nothing to do with softness of one player... I will say it again : " MCGRADY ISN'T SOFT" he is just slowed down by injuries and playing years in NBA
Do I say TMac is soft? No, cry is not associated with soft, but could be not tough. Too me, Rox do not have enoug tough guys like Spurs, which make Rox difficult to get a champ, but I saw Scola as a tough guy who can really help us in the playoff time. SF3 ia a tough guy, but does not play smart. I do not care who is soft or not, this year we got a few good players to help us.
I don't like these articles for two reasons: 1. TMac being soft is only part of the problem. 2. The Rockets aren't "TMac's team."
So winning a round of basketball makes you go from soft to tough? Is Dirk soft? He chokes against guys 6'8 and under. His team made the finals though. Was Tmac soft when he led the team to that cozy record minus Yao? Seems to me people pick and choose when to be hypocrites.
I can't see how you can be objective about mcgrady with the moniker you use. soft is all about settling for jumpers during crunch time instead of imposing your will and driving to the basket for a high percentage layup or getting fouled and going to the f/t line.
