    true couldn't agree more i loved watching him here in orlando because when he had off shooting games like today he would still get 20+ because he would attack the rim. Now its like he doesn't even now what that means hes just a jumpshooter now if his shot isnt falling then hes not scoring..his body cant take what it used to hes going to be a jumpshooter the rest of his career..i hate to admit it because hes my favorite player and all but tmac is only a good shooter when he is hot and if he isnt hot theres nothing he can do because he can't attack the rim like he used to and he knows that. This looked EXACTLY like steve francis his last year in orlando and ever since then hes never been the same please tmac just sit out

    What hell should we do with Terrible-Mac?
    Treat him the way Knicks treat marbury.

    He can pitch in the sluggish performance of the summer, we found that all of a sudden I lost the championship can hope for

    Trade him for prospects. Or trade him to a team that has cap room so we don't need to take anyone back.

    The Rockets are paying 20 million for a guy who has one good game for every ten bad games. He's the only player that I can count on to get up limping from something and suck the rest of the game. Everything this dude gets beat off the dribble, he pretends he hurt his leg. That's some high school stuff right there.

    TMac has not taken us anywhere. It's time for this experiment to end.

    we can keep him, but pls god dont let him be the first option during crunch time anymore. he doesnt deserve that at his current state, let it be artest or yao or even alston, just not tmac.

    What have Artest or Yao done this season that makes you think they're more reliable playmaking options down the stretch? They've all struggled.

    Agreed. We need to put the resulting abomination out of its misery and pretend it never happened.

    they havent, but im just sick of tmac with his predictable pop and shoot from midrange, or drive and pass out during crunch time. dude cant even take it strong to the hole anymore. why cant we just run a team offense instead of relying on tmac to run his predictable offense?

    It is really that simple.

    No one will give you young prospects. No one will give you a superstar. The only trade that you could pull off is one for another star with a fat contract that lasts longer than his.

    Even if you get marginally better, you lose in the long run.

    There was a time when you could have a serious discussion who was better between Tmac and Kobe . Now its just laughable.

    After that discussion, there was another time when you could seriously discuss who was better between Tmac and Paul Pierce. Now it is a farce.

    Tmac is getting paid a lot of money to play the game of basketball. It just seems he is not reinvesting or investing enough time to improve his game and the law of inertia has caught up with him: things that remain at rest tend to remain at rest and things that are in motion tend to remain in motion.

    Reality bites. but we have to deal with it and move on, if Tmac continues his subpar performance we really need an exit strategy.
