DD, u surprise me sometimes. You are pretty knowledgable about hoops, but sometimes u don't make sense. U think Robinson moved over or was Duncan so good that he had no choice? If Yao dominates on a more consistent basis, then I'm sure Tracy will have no problem being a facilitator. To say robinsons moved over by his own will isn't even close to being accurate.

Yes it is. From the moment Duncan was a rookie, Robinson deffered to him almost instantly. Robinson was as big a puss. as we have seen in basketball that is considered a "super star."

that's called team play and that's why european teams won world champion. they just were average players.

Maybe,just maybe the nba players consider the nba championship way more important than the fiba or other trophy. I can bet u anything that if the nba sent their best to play and train together, no country is beating them. Not only that the rules are different.

With some NBA super star who travells so often and someone who carries the ball so often?

If healthy, TMac could give us a first round victory. TJack, however, will put us in the lottery.

As much as I have been critical about Tmac, I have not given up my hope on him.

This is the team we have at our hand. They may not be the most talented team in the whole NBA, still they could be good enough to compete against any team in this league.

It may have been a disappointed performance for the team so far for many of us who had such a high expectation at the beginning of the season, but I do see some positive signs. The rookies have been helpful, the verterans are doing their things and Yao is really stepping up when needed. Maybe SF,MJ, and even BW have been a bit disappointing,they don't make that much of difference anyway. So far every pieces are there except Tmac.

Do not get me wrong. I do not think we play better without Tmac even at the current way plays. I just beleive he can get this team a lot better when he truely fits in the system. He is so talented.

It maybe hard for a guy like Tmac with so much talent and so much individual success to change the way he plays for so many seasons. I am not saying he should yield to Yao and become a role player, not at all. I want both of them doing what they can do best within the system to help the team the most.They can both be the central parts of the offense in different ways,different moments. But at any moment they need to find the best way. And I beleive they can find it.

Tmac himself should realize this is his best shot for his career team success. He can not let it slip away. And he is the only one can truly intergate the team offense.

I do not even seriously think about any trade at this time. Reed,Kidd whoever. We all can dream. But the reality is, if Tmac can truly get it going, we have chance against any team. If not, we are done for this season.

i agree. trading kidd here is useless if tmac doesn't pick up his game. he cannot blame his supporting cast because he has decent supporting cast and it is up to him to bring us past 1st round.
