Mcgrady is a poor man, we should understand what he said and what he did, in his career, people always slander him, talk about how useless he was. But why nobody saw the great thing he did, so all we need is stand by him, hope this man can achieve his dream, but also our dream, Championship
QFT. I don't understand why people always seem to hate on the guy for being honest. Is it because he always looks half asleep on the court? Anyone who thinks that T-mac is just some lazy bum for resting the 4rth quarter needs to watch the mavericks game again. Let's see you drive to the rim for 10-11 fts with an arthritic shoulder and a sore knee On the positive note, it seems that it was really T-mac who wrote his blog after all. It seems that T-mac is a person who's easily affected by his teammates' personalities, because he always brings his A-game when he's sorrounded with "fierce" players (see Sura, Bobby) and mails it in when he's sorrounded by losers (see Carter, Vince and that Weisbrod dude lol). I guess his "fierce" game last night (less heat checks, more driving to the hole) was inspired by Ron Artest and Arron Brooks's aggressive play. Now all we need is to wait for his injuries to heal and then we're gonna be unstoppable
Ya know there was nothing wrong with McGrady's comment. I rather that he acknowledge that there are other people on the team who can step up and take up the load rather than feel like he has to do it everytime. And truthfully - I rather he take it easy for the first part of the season - so he can build up his knee and shoulder. Because we need the dangerous McGrady at the end of the season/play-offs than at the beginning of the season. But lordy - looking at who we are now - beating the Mavs with no Shane, and a 3/4 tank of McGrady just gets me giddy on thinking on how we'll be once we're in full force! And you know this might be a helpful recruiting tool for Artest to consider us next year. I'm already loving Artest on this team - he shows veteran leadership - he makes sure everyone is on the same page in the game. I can't tell you how many times I saw him call the players together on court during the game to discuss. (How often do you see Yao or McGrady doing that). So this is a great move now just need to stay healthy and I think these boys will go a long way.
im feeling real confident after this game. it seems like everyone is getting more comfortable in their roles, and to be honest i don't mind if there was a shift in the hierarchy, with ron artest being the second option and tmac being the third. if tmac can thrive without having pressure on him, then thats better for us in the long run. plus hopefully it will cut down on the wear and tear on his body, so we can save him for later in the season when we are fighting for playoff position.
Anybody has a problem with this? "I'm in a position where I want to be professionally in my career, especially after 12 years, not having to carrying the burden night in and night out. That takes a toll on your body. Like I said, in the fourth quarter, I was enjoying watching somebody else go out there and carry the team. Ron did a great job. That's why we brought him in here. "I'm not 100 percent right now, so I can't be me. But if I can have a guy like Ron and Yao play the way they played and get you numbers all across the board, we're a great team."
