You mean none of you guys are sick of McGrady's act? always an excuse....hes hurt...knee....back....sholder...feelings? Kobi never has an excuse....Lebron never has an excuse.....and neither have had the teams we have had here but we are supposed to compare T-mac to them as far as superstars go. The season hasn't even started and he all ready has come out and said im not healthy 80%....what does that mean? keep your expecatations low? That makes me want to "GET RED" I wish he wouldn't say anything and just play, i would have much more respect for him. His best shot is the 25ft three and he is always hurt?
I often think....if one of our very own CF members somehow ended up on the Rockets 15 man roster...and was a horrible player on the court....but on the board everyone loved him....would we still insult them, and ask for a trade/cut?
How bad is his shoulder, anyway? Someone should ask him to estimate how bad it'll be during the season. Is it just sore or what? Can anyone speak from experience about what T-Mac will be dealing with this season with regards to his shoulder (real experience, not dreams or speculation). Thanks!
yeah, Kobe never has an excuse, and LeBron never says he needs a better supporting cast? :rollseyes: Look, if you're sick of McGrady being the go to guy, then maybe someone else should stand up to the challenge, otherwise, leave it be. Tmac may play through pain, but at least he plays, i'm not so sure i can say that about a lot of other "All-Stars"...
So the media asked about his health, he was honest about it, and people say he's whining and making excuses. He doesn't even have to say anything, if he wears a sleeve or padding, people already say he's whining and making excuses. At least he's filthy rich. I'd find solace in that, haha.
T-Mac has missed 66 games in 4 years of being a Rocket. How exactly are yall giving him credit for playing through injuries again? Are yall blind? He's not on the court and everyone knows at some point, he's going to be out for an extended time. Everyone knows that. Where are yall getting this, "he plays through pain!" crap? He doesn't. He acts like a girl, and always makes the excuse of being injured or tired. Last time I checked, he doesnt have any wear and tear on him from going so deep into the playoffs and the olympics. No one else acts as brittle as him in the NBA for someone who's under 30.
I seem to recall someone doing a comparison between Kobe and TMac as far as games/season played over the last X seasons. I think it averaged out to Kobe playing 2-3 more games per season. I would venture to guess Yao's games/season aren't too great. Artest has missed his fair share of games either due to injury or record labels, fights, whatever. I guess the point is, people talk like this is the only high profile player that gets hurt for a significant amount of time. We got who we got. He's certainly won us a crap load more games than he's lost us. Regardless of what you think of the guy, he's not the reason we have had no post-season success. We haven't had any for quite some time.
W33cum to dee int3erwebs forumzz. Making a thread about it achieves nothin'-I've already found that out. It might draw a couple of haters out of the closet (ie AntiSonic), but thats about it.
lmao... You do realize that with this post, it's gonna happen more now. Nobody cares, people will always bash.. You can't always have everything perfect. P.S. Go back to second grade where they teach to use paragraphs.
would have been better if u copied and pasted, so it would not be white-washed in the quote: Originally Posted by faraza84 ok ive heard it already. hes injured, hes a wuss, hes soft, they had time to heal there just pansy. Come on now "ITS TIME" to stop bashing the Rockets, its annoying as hell i mean this is a ROCKETS forum not a Utah j*zz forum if you want to go off on our team i suggest you go to their forum you will have a great time. Its our team this is our forum so we have to do what we can to support our team not bash on it, it gets ridiculous when all these threads open up and the only thing they have to say is trade him, cut him, and what not. First of all if you think your pissed or upset damn just look at Tmac and Yao when they lost in the playoffs did they look happy to you? No Tmac cried and Yao just looked miserable. They actually put in effort to win instead of watch, its their sweat and hardwork that took them that far so respect that. When a man can cry about something, and im sure you all have cried at some point it means what? That you CARED. yea they do care about winning for them but not just for themselves but for you and for their families. Im sure they have their parents in the crowd and friends so it definately means something to them. Im glad a lot of us still support our team but those who dont seriously stop with the annoying hate posts as its real childish. First because your not doctors but some maybe but those who hate dont look at the scientific fact. These guys are human, just like us and they will get hurt and sick just like any of us there not superhumans. Tmac has issues but he plays with those issues and you know what he probbably played injured so much that he caused more damage to his knee and his shoulder to WIN. He could have called it quits but he put this team on his shoulder and went all out against the jazz which still got us a L. If the guy is hurt he has the right to be because he actually goes out and busts his balls for the team, it may not look like it at times but its him and the team that have to miss birthdays of family, and special occasions but they have to keep on truckin regardless on back to back games and travelling like a mofo and that can be a strain on health and performance not to mention the grueling practices they have to endure. I know that injuries can riddle you as I have played ball and had a torn LCL and micro fractures and it takes a damn long time to heal , if you play injured you only make it worse and it took a damn year to heal and my level wasnt close to what the atheletes on our team endure so be patient with them and support them in their time of need. Sometimes you have to put faith in your team regardless the odds. As many of you know Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon used to fast in his holy month and he still performed at a high level for any center at his time. But he endured because he had faith and i know our players have faith but its time we have some faith in them. Yao, Tmac, and the rest bust a lot of balls to help this team stay up from the bottoms of the pit in the NBA and any other team would die to have players that we have on our team that perform at a high level. Some of you are complaining that Tmac should have not said hes injured hes a wuss before the season but you know Yao did the same thing going into the Olympics but man do some people have double standards. If he lied and played like crap you would be on his neck saying he is playing like a kindergardner but he told the truth and thats the man thing to do and to even say you can play with the injury that is quite severe really deserves respect. His determination out weights his injury and thats what we have to look at too because honestly he could just be shelved and then again ppl would be on his back again. But remember him playing injured could cause an even worse condition and you might never see this guy play again. All i ask is for us Rockets fans to stand by our team "LIVE IT" and "GET RED" because this season "ITS TIME". This is clutch city and dont ever underestimate the heart of a Champion. No im not a crazy delusional fan but I am a damn loyal one this is our team we must support it. Your lucky we didnt have records like the miami heat.
the bashing is what keeps the bbs, and for that matter the free press in business. if we couldn't speak our mind then there would be no point to speak at all.
Understood. It's just that lately, I think you've been focusing too much on bashing the non-bashers who bash the bashers instead of bashing the bashers who bash the non-bashers. I'm not bashing you for bashing the bashers who bash the non-bashers instead of bashing the non-bashers who bash the bashers, I'm just sayin....
