    If T-Mac was on the Spurs instead of Ginobili, would he make them a better team? What do y'all think? (Ginobili is older by two years)

    Considering the poster mcgrady is actually well known mcgrady hater here, it's sarcastic post.He has put the handel of mcgrady so noone suspects his agenda of continues hate.

    I'm not hiding my hate, there is no agenda. And I didn't make this username to hide under anything, in fact, I've been wanting to change my username for a long time but I don't know what to change it to.

    you don't have to make it Rockets related.

    But if you do, I think LarrySmith would be good. It will be popular amongst Yao fans.

    You cann see Tracy's legs are getting tired. He is as healthly as he can be at this point (after microfracture) but his conditioning it not in good shape as he was still finishing his rehab.

    His legs are getting extremly tired (after watching last two games). He is not used to play that many games, although he is not playing that much minutes.

    What I mean is, this offseason will be crucial. He will be healthly and he will be able to focus to make his speed, quickness and conditioning better, instead of worrying about his rehab.

    But really, he has to improve his speed and explosion for next year. He is missing it badly. And of course his scoring touch, he has to find it as well.

    It will be pretty interesting.

    If anyone is expecting Tmac to workout well and come back in great shape after the offseason, they don't know Tmac that well.

    Do you work out? All 3 of those things are very much possible.... now I don't know the logistics of something like micro fracture surgery and what that does to a bodies potential but he can probably still improve upon those things. To improve upon your explosiveness at his age all one must do is lift heavy weights for less reps...

    Clearly he didn't work hard enough to recover from microfracture knee surgery, just look at him play, look how awful he looks! :rolleyes:

    And all his rehab videos were the fake ones. He just sat on the couch and he was quittin' on the Rockets three times per day and he was singing "It's on me, it's my fault" in British X-Factor, too

    Info is legit. Proved by tinman

    ok im just wondering. i hope he does but i thought things like his speed and explosivness was something that he was just losing because of his age.

    It is easy, he will have the entire offseason to work on his overall game and body, not focusing on his knee. It is very important IMO.

    Because now he looks kinda heavy and slow. He was much better (in my eyes) if you talkj about speed and explosivness earlier in the season.

    I'm like 80% sure that you can slow the overall lose of explosion by doing these things and since t-mac has spent more time rehabing than basketball conditioning there is most likely some up tapped potential for improvment since he has had 3 years off his legs basically.
