Rockets one on one practice video on 12/7, including Tmac

I am thankful that DD is not posting messages in this thread any more. So many unecessary posts by DD, and all of the same category. All of us men shall kindly note our opinions, and remain silent until a new opinion emerges in our minds.

 

who said anythign about this thread? there is an entire board, multiple threads full of ridiculous statements about tracy. seriously, how about you go read?

 

He didn't look good in the video then, again I'm not sure how much you can take from this video. Off the video Brian Cook should be inserted into the rotation.

 

If you truly are a Houston Rockets Only Fan, you would support and want T-Mac to do good just like everyone else on the team. He is still a Houston Rocket if you don't know.

 

He did back down Carl and got into the paint and missed the layup. Maybe it's a practice and they were just having fun out there, goin' at each other one-on-one. oh I forgot, the other thread said that was AFTER the practice.

Well, I do agree with ya on that coach thing, coach Rick knows what he's doing to Tracy, he sees what players themselves can't see or overlook. No doubt T-Mac needs to push himself more to meet the NBA standard. He's not ready yet, but soon will be.

 

Ok so anytime anyone says anything about Tracy, we can look forward to you making mock posts about how "fake" excited you are to see him back.

Great, can't wait.

 

i see the insanity on both sides, but you posted in this thread. that has nothing to do with tracy being ready for games. it's a couple of minutes of practice. People will be excited. but nobody is jumping off the deep end in this thread but you. I get that you have hatred for mcgrady but so what. go make another thread about it and put your feelings in that thread.

i could see if people were saying omg, tracy looks like a beast. nobody's saying that in this thread. He looks better/quicker than he did last year.

 

Cook is a lazier, more selfish Rasheed Wallace. Cook has a good post up game if you ever watched him at Illinois, but in the pros he has tried making a living at the 3pt line in the pros, and doesn't play very good defense, and forgets that passing is always an option.

 

Just quote this for reference, it's not even the start of practice, it's the END of it, maybe he just got out of the weight room and have some fun out there. This guy's pushing himself too hard, well, at least from the video we're looking at, he's definitely not ready no matter what he claimed days before.

 

Look,


Listen,


DD is currently busy in Vegas. He will pop up eventually.

-SS

 

Dude, keep it up, we need some proofs that T-Mac's not ready yet but close to seeing some minutes of action soon. Your effort would be appreciated.

 

Keep doing it, this is just a typical thread of T-Mac bashing. Everyone has different opinions against others.

 

tmac didn't make a single basket i think.
but he does look quick and smooth.

 

The "-SS" ending made me chuckle. Bravo.

 

Tracy is shaking off the rust. He stays in Triple threat position every single time - and his stance has always been like that, that is why people say he is a ball stopper. He likes to work his man. He is looking much quicker than last year for sure.

 

More rehab until he gets his lift back and then put him on the court and see what he has left.

 

Landry is a beast

 

Hold on! did budinger dunk on battier kobe style? And it went un-noticed to 4 pages. Wake up and smell the suckness.

 

There is a major difference between a comment wanting someone to play because of their ability to play the game versus comments about not wanting someone to play because of personal disdain for an individual. That's what comes across as hypocritical. It is easy to not like someone for something they may have said or done but that does not disqualify them from doing their job if they can still do it. So let's keep it basketball and not personal feelings.

The quality of the forum being driven down by your statements is debateable. Tracy being a closer is not a ludicrous if you understand what closer represents. Closer does not mean taking the last shot, per se. For this team, he doesn't have to take the last shot. But what he brings is an ability to spread the floor and either create a shot for himself or a wide open look for his teammates if you double him. No one else currently on this roster can accomplsih that. Proof of that is the Portland game. While AB may be able to get by his man, he does not have to be doubled, meaning none of his teammates are set up with open looks and as for him finishing in traffic, he has yet to prove that he can do that. Hate Tracy the person if you must but don't deny his basketball abilities and the fact that those BASKETBALL ABILITIES can help this team. And as far as your conversations, we are not all privy to those, but that still doesn't give your comments a factual base. It gives your comments a slant. It provides you with the slant that you need to back up your already biased opinions of Tracy while those of us formulating opinions based on basketball only have basketball related information to go on. Perception is what the eyes bring into focus. Maybe you should focus your eyes on Tracy's basketball abilities instead of focusing your ears on things that you hear and your mind on things that have happened in the past. Last year is gone. Let's get over it already. I did.
