    On NBATV,
    they interviewed Larry Drew (TOFs, he's the head coach, you'll hate him like the others)

    Said he thought he had a really good year with Detroit..was very effective
    Said will be an added weapon to the roster
    said he's 'versatile'

    Good luck Larry!

    You are infected with the TOF virus. Will all of Atlanta do the same?

    All these threads were r****ded and were Knee-Jerk reactions to when these guys lost in the HIGHER rounds of the playoffs.

    Most fans don't give a damn about numbers. You don't judge players by a small portion of his career, you judge him by his entire body of work....Clyde Drexler told me that personally.

    I know you root for Tmac, if he gains success than that's fine, don't start throwing other players names around to somehow justify Tracy's career.

    Derick Rose was the MVP last year and he had to go against LeBron AND Wade.

    Tmac couldn't beat Utah when he was with the Rockets, Utah was not as good as Miami.

    Anyways, have fun, you guys have lasted more than 1 round against me, it's very un-mcgrady like. looking forward to this season so I can drop facts on you guys again.

    Comeback from what?

    You mean the Rockets having a much better record than the Magic that year he joined? You realize the Rockets were in the playoffs the year before he showed up right?

    that was 1 win in the regular season right?

    you realize this place is called CLUTCH CITY right?

    you realize every time you login into this "CLUTCH FANS" site , that it was named after something right?

    It's part of my argument. You can't put wins and losses all on one player.

    Hell, Lebron's best playoff performance was when he lost 4-1 to the Magic. He averaged 40-8-8 that series and completely took over but the team he was playing with was pathetic.

    In the end, while NBA superstars have an effect matched only by NFL QBs on a game, you can't put wins/losses all solely on one player without looking at the team matchup.

    According to you that's his best performance. Because you believe stats are everything. Hakeem never won a scoring title. There's something called leadership and your teammates having your back.

    You can't put all the loses on one player, you a right, but if you have a 15 year career full of no playoff success for any team, you can't in a non-zombie mind, compare him to players who've accomplished more.

    I know most Tmac fans are young and they've never seen MJ or Dream etc. But they don't have to. Look at Tim Duncan.

    He never had a 'glamour' game like Tmac, 13 in 33 etc. But every Rocket fan would EASILY swap Tim Duncan for Tmac.

    But I understand you are defending your favorite player and will reach for anything to make him appear better than he really is.

    This beyond easy for me, it's not like we're arguing who's better Bird or Magic .

    Watch the games Tinman.

    Just because you're on the losing team doesn't mean you weren't the best player on the floor.

    Are you saying Shawn Kemp > Hakeem Olajuwon because Seattle beat Houston?

    Your whole argument depends on final wins and losses.


    Tim Duncan is the greatest power forward of all time so obviously I would trade TMac for Timmeh. I don't even understand your argument? Glamor player? I don't like Vince Carter or Blake Griffin that much.

    According to you Tinman, all that matters is winning and losing and thats fine.

    How you played is irrelevant to you.

    **** the road travelled as long as you reach the destination right?

    Funny how you pick 1 playoff series for Dream.

    I can say with 100 percent confidence that Tracy has not one a single playoff series for any one of his teams.

    Dream? you picked a bad example. First of all, that was obviously not in the first round. Also, for every 1 Dream series that the Rockets lost, I can name you many more successful series including Finals MVP,

    What you don't get was that Dream was superior player on both ends of the court.

    See what I tell you? you are just reaching to defend your favorite player.

    If Tracy won 1 playoff series, the TOFS would talk about it over and over and over again like it was like the greatest series of all time.

    But he didn't so you guys lay your heads on 13 in 33.

    Tracy had success in seconds, Dream had success for many years.
