The fact that he did this with 0 turnovers is an amazing acomplishment. The reason we added so many players that are capable of putting the ball in the basket is because tmac can fascilitate and get them wide open shots. Lets just hope our guys can continue to knock down open shots throughout the season. Well at least 2 or 3 of the 6 guys capable of scoring more than 10 points a game. (alston, francis, james, battier, scola, bonzi,maybe head). I still think we need that deadeye 3 point shooter like wesley was for us a few seasons back.
Please keep GARM clean from foul and offensive language. We have people of various ages visiting the site.
And your point is? Dude, T-Mac just had a triple double & the Rockets won the game while at it. What does Kobe have to do with any of this?
you're missing the point boy. calling people hater when your name itself is rooted with hate. HA!! THINK HARDER.
Blazer_ben is right. Magic Johnson has way more credibility than a T-Mac hater like you. If Magic, who is the best playmaker ever, believes that T-Mac is the second best playmaker in the NBA today then I'll take his word for it. Jason Kidd is a brilliant playmaker and he's always been one of my favorite players but I have to agree with Magic that T-Mac is better. Playmaking IMO is not restricted to making plays for teammates. It could also mean the playermaker making plays for himself. That means finishing the play, shooting, scoring. Jason Kidd is nowhere near the prolific scorer T-Mac is. It's always been said that J-Kidd can't shoot. This is probably what makes T-Mac a better playmaker than Jason Kidd. You're also saying that T-Mac makes good plays because he is being double teamed. Doesn't that further prove that T-Mac is indeed a brilliant playmaker because he can make great plays even when he's double or even triple teamed? He is being double teamed because players & coaches respect his tremendous talent. He makes great plays out of double teams because he is such a gifted passer and he has great court vision that he always finds the open man. Other players, when double teamed, would probably turn the ball over resulting to a wasted ball possesion. T-Mac on the other hand makes brilliant plays out of double teams by either breaking down the defense, shooting over the double team or most importantly passing the ball to the open teammate for the bucket. These things IMHO makes T-Mac the second best playmaker in the NBA today. Need I say more, Hater?
this is a textbook example why too mnay conflicts in this world. miscommunication. people read and misunderstand the real message and without sort of a warning, they start firing.
If the Rockets play better when T-Mac is passing and not scoring big numbers, then the season splits wouldn't say that the team STATISTICALLY is better when T-Mac is averaging less assists and more points. Last year they went 21-11 when T-Mac was averaging 30PPG with Yao out.
the crazy thing is the last triple double was from francis in 03 for the rockets. I never would have guessed t mac didn't have any with the rockets before tonight. didn't kobe get three in a row a couple of years ago
You're getting enbrassed in this thread. keep opening ure mouth more. only more embrassement will follow.
he could have had atleast 6 triple doubles just last year. each time he came a dime or a couple of boards short. btw, whats kobe got to do with anything. why are you trying to start a pissing contenst?. so everytime tracy does something, we gotta here how kobe has dont it before?.
I wasn't the one who brought up kobe. follow the thread. I couldn't care less about kobe, I'm not a fan
hmm this is not Rockets basketball, we are MOST dangerous when both are stars are firing on all cylinders and the role players are doing their job. We won't be getting 40+ points from Scola and Bonzi every game. Your attempt at trying to make TMac into a Nash will hurt the Rockets. Mainly because he is no Nash in dishing assists and second he is TOO good a scorer to waste by turning him into a Nash.
Congrats Tmac! I was pretty surprised he only has 3 too. He's a "do-it-all" player, so you'd think he'd have had a lot more...not that it matters. Man, his passing last night was BEAUTIFUL. That no-look to Yao as the big guy came barelling down like a runaway train was awesome! Too bad the PGs on our team can't pass like that... Oh, and some of you guys REALLY need to grow up. At least keep the conversations moderately family friendly, guys.
