Caron Butler is not a superstar and Washington can barely make the playoffs. Tony Parker doesn't get to the line but he does make more than half of his shots. Being in the same group as Josh Howard, Anthony, and Durant isn't saying much since Denver and Seattle suck and Dallas isn't doing so hot this year and lost in the first round of the playoffs last year.
Tmac needs the ball to be effective, so does Yao, we need someone who is running on the floor without the ball constantly, either make a shot or drive into the basket, but we do not have this kind of players. Tmac 's play as a point guard has both good and bad effect on the team. We really need a good PG as a play-maker.
If only Tmac would stop the DAMN STUPID HEATCHECKS EVERY TIME HE FEELS LIKE IT. Those shots can seriously inspire the team.....or just demoralize them. Tmac needs to learn to play with more passion (like after that dunk) and play WITHIN the offense, like he did earlier in the year, when he was actually scoring close to 29 points on 47% shooting. When that happens, EVERYTHING clicks. Everyone is flowing along too, and Yao doesn't get double-teamed as much consequently. Oh what happened to those good old 6-1 days where we were beating teams like the Jazz, Suns, Spurs, and ALMOST the Mavs on two occasions. Oh if only Rafer and Shane can shoot a little bit better right now.......
