    I'm sure his passion for the game would come back in the NBA made zones illegal again.

    Ya see, MacGrumpy, that's what great players do, they adapt when things aren't going well...

    Whiney little b****...

    T-Mac first you have to win the rings before you are allowed to pull a MJ :)

    Maybe he's not trying to pull an MJ; maybe he's trying to pull an Eddie Griffin. :p

    I guess I didnt make it clear which team went to the conference finals. It was the year the Bucks went to the conference finals and lost to the Sixers I think in game 7.

    The dude averaged 32 points a game last year with a bum back.

    I think this is his way of saying either the coach goes or he goes.

    Who knew that trading Mike Miller would make T-Mac so sad?

    Aw, T-Mac is too good to retire now. It would be a total waste if the league lost a player like him. I think it's high-time he opts to be traded somewhere else, a team with better players. He would certainly be welcome in Houston, and I think he even said last season that he was jealous of Houston for having such a great center who could unselfishly dish out nice passes.

    The Orlando Magic are cursed. Shaq leaves them and wins three rings. They get Grant Hill and he gets injured and becomes the highest paid towel boy ever. Then their best player starts getting cynical, and rightfully so, because one player can't be the only scoring option and carry the whole team. Plus, Florida has a lot of knats.

    It's unprofessional to not play up to one's full capacity under contract. One gotta earn his money. If he's not playing well due to getting bored or uninterested, my respect for him just went down a notch.

    Shaq left and got swept out of the playoffs like 2 or 3 times before Phil Jackson got there and before Kobe became a top 5 player.

    Grant Hill was already injured before he signed with Orlando. That elimination playoff game against the Heat, Hill played injured and kept on playing so that he wouldn't let down his team/city. Low and behold, that killed his career.

    Cursed? Nope. Bad management? Maybe.

    Yeah, I guess 36 points is losing his will. Maybe his team needs to start playing better.

    They didn't get killed? WTF Crack you smoking...That final score didn't tell the whole game...I'll tell ya that...

    "He surely would be welcome in houston" LMAO...i think you fans are to funny for even suggesting it.
    He would be welcome ANYWHERE....and houston is the last place he'd want to go...I'm telling ya..keep counting us out...you'll live to regret it..

    I think T-Mac should get MVP this year just for the fact that his team would PROFOUNDLY suck without him.

    my hunch is he will lead us back to the top...possibly a top 5 seed in the east and that has to be enough for the MVp...well actually if you look at the east...there all struggling...
