    Tmac tmac tmac... he is good, but he does not deserve the money he is getting.. if its possible they should sign him to an extension at a very cheap proze so we can keep ron. I dont know if this is even possible but 23 million next year? get the **** out of here..

    Running's not good for knees, is it?

    I want to see Tracy post more. He has an extremely impressive inside game for a guard. He could probably make an easy transition to an inside player, adding effective years to his career and lowering our frustration by cutting out all those not-quite-threes.

    Every fan will be glad for you to touch as much as you like in your own practice. 39.5% is not far behind 41.9% of last season and 40.6% of 2005-06 season. I am very tired of T-Mac. Trade him, Morey.

    I don't agree with you much, but I sure do here. Know what the problem is? Our players have just as much trouble getting him the ball as they do Yao in the paint. Spacing is horrible, and then they hesitate so much to make the pass, they end up faking each other out and then turnover. Sure it's not all the time, but sure is frustrating to see them have trouble getting it to him when he's got someone shorter on him (which is most of the time).

    so where are those people that preached the "wait and see" approach to Tracy's play this season.. and his role in the offense..?

    it's not just about physical limitations anymore is it..? not a mere matter of health eh..?

    leave him in the starting 5 and let him work it out, it'll all fall in to place leaving things as they are you say..?

    Enough periods? I was just saying, that when he does try to post up, that seems to be a big problem. We've often lost the ball or had to resort to a buzzer beating shot attempt, because of the inability to make that pass whether it's on the passer or on Tracy fending off the defender or both.

    You know, you can disagree with someone without being an ass...especially when you don't know them.

    well.. I was trying to spare you the "Roll Eyes"..


    and I replied in that manner because you made it seem like that was the one and only problem.. keeping us from implementing the play with a certain level of consistency and commitment..

    I have always been willing to give the excuse to the players, be it just back from injury, new teammates, or new coach, but this is not good at all, I don't like it.

    I've been saying this forever. He's always been crazy effective in the post.

    i think he saw how effective tracy's post up game is and if tracy really focuses on posting up, he could really be effective even with that struggling knee right now.

    i mean dude schooled raja bell a few nights ago, and last game with kidd, two very good defenders.

    tracy's J and quickness is up and down right now so he needs to stop that. just park himself in the post.

    hell, he's 10x the post player ron artest is and we all thought ron had a post game
