Shut up already man. If we are going by the technical rules, it says we can even talk about former Rockets like Tracy Murray. He isn't even playing pro ball anymore. I also find it funny that you want to get on people for being Tracy fans or Lin fans, when you yourself are a fan of the Bud Adams and the TENNESSEE Titans. Bud Adams, a man who shitted on the city of Houston harder than Tmac ever could.
this is a rocket site dude. the affiliation of football teams has nothing to do with the rockets. for example, the great moestavern, an avid rockets fan is a raiders fan. doesn't mean anything. you have realize how the YOF and the TOF and now the LOF have not embraced the team and blame others for their heroes failures. I get this stupid Tmac = 22 game winning streak thing . 1. It's a team accomplishment, not one guy winning all these games 2. he didn't even play all 22 games what do we say when the Rockets won a championship? the Rockets won a championship. Nobody says Hakeem won a championship by himself. However, he did win the MVP, DPOY, and Finals MVP by himself, cause that's an individual accomplishment. Tracy fans want to give him credit for something cause he's never won a championship, 1st round playoff serires, or 2nd or 3rd round. And yes the Oilers/Titans were here in Houston way before Tracy McGrady, Lin or even the internet. McGrady burned bridges and rubbed the fans the wrong way Here's his reception in Houston: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wQ8_sQZOKjU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Z7qT-39KaGY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Here's his reception in Orlando: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T-Ekfbt8aew" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
All I'm saying is let them be. At the end of the day, most Tmac and Lin fans want the rockets to do well. That's the beauty of this website. We welcome people from all around the world. Hell we even had a super Chuck Hayes Fan who doesn't frequent theses boards as much since chucky is not here. Sure there are a few bad apples but hey its an internet forum. And who cares if the Oilers we here before MacLin. They arent here anymore. Oilers never won a damn thing for Houston, just like Tmac. Lin lives here now and Tmac stayed here long after he was traded. Bud Adams and the Oilers crapped on Houston and never looked back. To me, I think its much worse to be a Bud Adams fan or a TITAN fan than it is to be a Tracy or Lin fan. So you really have no room to speak when you are a fan of a man and a team that did more damage to Houston Sports than any single player could.
This welcome probably single-handedly destroyed the slim chance of a successful return to the NBA. When ego trumps winning, and it gets stroked like this, there is no turning back. This season will reinforce, in his mind, that he's God's gift to basketball. Minimum contract? Bench play? Training camp invite? Practice? I don't think so. I'm T-Mac, that's right, THE T-Mac.
I think Tmac needs this if he wants to come back to the NBA. TMac needs to be the center of the offense and being the top dog.. I think phsycologically that messed him up after knee surgery - he needs to fill like the top player inorder to play like it. Going to China will definitely boost his confidence. We may see a better Tmac .
and here I thought I was going to be reading about Tmac Tinman why are you talking about Lin... in a Tmac thread... and why are you not going ballistic about a Tmac thread, that is not in GARM?
problem with you is you have already accused LOFs of blaming others for Lins failures... for starters I dont see any LOFs posting in this thread.... I dont see any LOFs blaming anyone for Lins failures since it still is PRE SEASON and I dont see how Lin fans will blame anyone else but Lin... this is a offense tailored to Lins strengths if he fails here... then there is no excuse... then its time to get a job on Wall Street of course you have already decided in a Tmac thread what the Lin fans will think and say
He hates Only Fans.... that is his beef This is going to be like an endless cycle... He'll go on and on even after Mac retires
I like how you are trying to spin it. So when if someone roots for the Lakers are they rooting for Jerry Buss or Kobe? Were you even here when Bud Adams owned the Oilers? There are many teams with ahole owners. The major had a vendetta with Bud and it costs the fans a new stadium and years without NFL football. So next time you watch the rockets, i'm sure you're just rooting for Les Alexander. I was rooting for Charlie Thomas and Les Alexender!!... NOT. Fans root for teams ,not owners. spin what you want cause you like Tmac.
maybe cause this thread isn't about Jeremy Lin. it's probably easy to predict what OFs say, they say the same thing, regardless of what player or country Well one TOF said in this thread that a broken Tmac > Lin, which is obviously wrong. TOF is saying that cause Lin is in the NBA and Tmac didn't sail into the sunset for his NBA Career. More like the Titantic. However, McGrady when he became a Rocket, proved himself as a player in the league, while we still need more time for Lin to develop.
Nice reception by the fans at the airport. Reminds me of the reception TMAC got here in Houston when he was first at TC.
I don't blame the Chinese for getting excited. It's a player from the Rockets team that China was waking up early in the morning to root for when Yao was still playing for them. The same player that they only saw on TV making those dunks and great drives to the basket was coming to their city. Why wouldn't they get excited? It's like when Beckham (who was at his twilight of his career) came to L.A. or Thierry Henry went to N.Y.
Hahahahahahahah wow. This is coming from tinmac, the MASTER of spin. The same guy who says if you said one nice thing about Tmac, that automatically makes you a TOF and a fake rockets fan. Hahahahahaha tinmac calling out somebody for putting a spin on something, is like....tinmac calling out somebody for putting a spin on something. Because there is no other analogy that fits this absurdness. Umm yes I was born and raised here and I STILL live. You can't even try to play that card because you don't even live here anymore. When did Jerry Buss move the Lakers from LA? Here you go trying to put on another masterful spin. First off, you can't use a comparison like the Lakers. A better fit would be comparing it to the Art Model/Browns situation, even Baltimore to Indy Colts. You think any loyal Clevelanders are big Ravens fans? They sure love their Ravens! Art Model died, I don't think many Clevelanders even batted an eye. Spin it all you want bro, you were a fan and support a team that was affiliated and owned by a man who took a huge dump on the city of Houston. If you had a spin top , you couldn't spin yourself out of this one.
Tmac is going to have a stable full of beautiful chinese women. Great move by Tmac. He will love China. He's a God there.
So you are selectively reading this thread, because I'm not the one who mentioned Lin here first. Maybe you Lin Fans are more blind than the Tmac fans
What if Bob Lanier did get a stadium deal done ? So you think if it was a different owner that they would NOT want a new stadium? Back in the day I was all mad at Bud like everyone else, but that's not the teams fault. Not Steve McNair or Eddie George or Al Del Greco's fault. Besides you are trying to spin this thread into a thread about me. You spin me right round like record round round round
