After reading the article, I think the writer is simply pulling stuff out of his ***, due to the fact that he says 'T-Mac kept swearing on the court" and he brings up quotes from T-Mac that I can't remember seeing anywhere else. HE also said that after the game T-Mac pointed at Yao and said that he lacked the 'killer instinct' I haven't seen the pre and post game interviews, but is this true?
Hey man...Look!!! I was one of you guys not want to see this kinda aticle. And I am the fan of them since they have been together in Rockects. What I really want is try to show how some ridiculous reporters in China writing the crap like this... In fact, I dont believe Yao&Mac will do what he said. So would you just calm down abit?!
and people wonder why some fans doubt the credibility of chinese sources? some chinese people are HARD YOHs. tmac and yao are great friends. why would tracy care about the shot attempts? jon feign said tmac was angry b/c they didn't play very well and ESPN documented this. tmac said the team had A LOT to improve on. also, tmac was particularly mad in the bucks game b/c he got bumped off a pick and roll hard and didn't get a call so he was pissed. he used the private jet b/c his agent had organized an event for him to attend. unless chinese can "quote" direct sources, don't post.
I suspect JVG was the cause of Yao taking so many jumpers... he was the one who said Yao should dribble less. I doubt there is actual beef betwee TMac and Yao. Yao struggled with his shot, the rest of the team had problem on either end of the floor, too.
there was absolutely nothing even close to this in the postgame. Tmac was interviewed before going to the lockerroom for his shower, and he actually seemed fairly relieved and happy. He was joking around with Bill and BUll. The pre/post vids have been released, Im sure others can vouch for the facts. This also makes zero sense when Tmac had to be TOLD to not defer so much to Yao. HE seems to be enjoying being the facilitator....he talks about it in the postgame interview.
OK, sorry, saw the link posted. . . . That page does say pretty much what was claimed, but it is speculation built on slender evidence. If T-Mac suddenly shoots twice as much as Yao, and he flew on a spearate flight, does that add up to him being alienated from Yao and the team now? Those two facts, plus a very few other things, like the fact that T-Mac was cussing a lot on court and upset at one game, are being added up by the writer into speculative conclusion that I think are almost tabloid style. It's like "Justin was seen with Brittney. Are they back together?" This is almost like a sports gossip column style of reporting, in my opinion. For example, the article says T-Mac flew on a private jet to arrive at LA early. Does that have to mean he was upset? Maybe he had something to do in LA. The article does not include facts about the reason for the flight. In short, the facts are very few and the interpretation is very heavy in this piece.
See... I did not lie... I think this guy is really **** Usually, I dont read the news from this website coz the chinese think them sux. But they showed a large head title in their sport page, and that attracted me... But some how the head title of this article was down to nowhere....
Stop being a hypocrite, first off if you didn't really believe what that reporter said then why would you say? That right there suggest that you weren't sure if it was true or not. A real true fan would've called BS right away like all the other previous posters said. A true fan would know that Yao and T-Mac would never end up like Kobe and Shaq because that's not their personalites. Think about it. Why would T-Mac all of a sudden get mad of Yao like that? After all the great things he has said about him? And I'm not trying to say you're not a true fan, just saying that you shouldn't post stupid ass articles where you suggest you actually buy that crap. Instead you should've posted "Listen to what this ludacris reporter had to say...blah blah blah."
Ok.. listen everyone i wish i had a link but can someone post the espn interview after the game with T-mac... its clearly False what those chinese reports had to say because the way T-mac was talkin... it was not negative what so ever.. its like Tmac was incouraging Yao, instead of Gettin mad at him... this interview helped me decide that its got to be false!
i live 5 minutes from the American Airlines Center. hopefully I will see cuban in the parking lot one of these days and drive over him. that would be great.
OK OK... I apologize what I mentioned be4... May be what I express is not in the right way. Or may be I should never post this crap article. I just wanted to share what I saw and read!!! OK, I shut up!!!
