    Does it not seem when he plays on national tv, he looks much better and smoother. I think he is averaging around 25 when hes playing on national tv, what do you guys think?

    Usually our National T.V. games are against good opponents, he probably just feels like he has to do more.

    Tonight I think the players thought this would be an easy game.

    Trade Yao! Do not want to see him playing in a team with such a lazy guy any more!

    didnt he have a bad game in dallas? and we won.. he was on the bench the entire 4th.. he doesnt always have a good game. i think his best games are actually wen its not on national tv.

    ive watched mcgrady since he started playing for orlando since i live in florda i get the magic games and i sware this guy is right..TNT is tmacs favorite i guess he always tries to get barkley to shut up..ive always noticed that too though but i thought it was just me, like last years blazers game, 13 in 35 are just examples. I always found that wierd how he scores 25+ on national tv. I didn't miss a magic game the whole time he was here and when ever he was on national tv he would shoot a better percentage

    I'm with you. Not for the same reasoning but I've been thinking for a long time that Tracy and Yao are both too slow to play on the same team. This team would be better with a more mobile big and Yao would play better with a quicker guard.

    I love Yao but the offense would flow great with a quick big like Chris Bosh.

    yea t-mac only decides to get up for national tv games. if the spurs game was on ESPN theres no doubt we'd have won.

    Tonight it is on NBA TV, so I have a feeling hes going to hit 25+ with a favorable matchup (Peja on him), so watch him drop 30 tonight, i just have a strange feelling he will

    There is no favorable matchup for T-mac these days in terms of getting by anyone.

    Another reason is without Parker and Ginobili on the court last night, he probably thought it would be an easy win for the Rockets and therefore less motivated for the game.

    hopefully. I'd be happy with 20+ as long as Rockets win.

    Tmac has always been a drama queen, he likes the spotlight.

    Yeah, that's pretty sad, huh?

    I don't think there's ever been anyone declined (athletically) this quickly, crazy.

    Even when he gets by his man he still just can't get any lift up. The few games were he has gotten to the basket and finish he still just didn't look like T-mac doing it. I'm not buying this he will get healthy in a month thing if he's not resting that knee. I just don't know what to think about the situation right now.
