So, when he's hurt he's "fragile, and a baby". When he plays through it, and struggles, he's "lazy". And when he does well, its because he's "being selfish, and wants to be in the spotlight". Whatever.... he basically can't win then. And, you'd think a game against Lebron would be all the spotlight you'd need to stroke the ego. He's struggling because the knee didn't respond to the back-to-back, and 3rd game in 4 nights.
I was done with hm a while back. The dude reminds me of the kids who are forced to play little league baseball. Talented but minimal interest at playing at high level. He was born with the talent but without the heart. I can't wait for him to be gone from this team in a couple of years.
I don't know why you guys are bashing the Joker, are you guys watching this game? McGrady isn't playing, he's walking around, not hustling, not running, not looking to score. He isn't doing anything. If his knee is messed up then he needs to sit his ass on the bench, he is a liability on the floor, he can't defend worth ****.
and this is exactly why I am a lurker.. I come here to post my first thread to give an opinion, and half the posts or calling my stupid or not a real fan.. I'm fine with people saying i'm overreacting, but thats whats wrong with a lot of posters here, every opinion not theirs is wrong and must be stupid.
Don't worry about it, most posters here are just blind Tracy homers, you can't convince them of anything when it comes to McPuss.
That is exactly my problem with Tmac, wtf. He should just go ahead and give up and be "injured" again. I have said through all the stupid posts: Trade TMac for player X and player X, that those trades are just moronic, but the more I watch Tmac this season the more I think maybe Rockets would be better off w/ 2 solid 9 mill $ role players a year, over 1, 18 million dollar "superstar" that shows up every other day at most. Sorry "injuries" isn't a good excuse anymore neither is "he is tired" because of 4 games in 5 nights. The ONLY player that can claim to be tired is Artest because he guards the best player on the opposing every night and he plays HARD, but you dont see him getting lazy. Just ridiculous. I swear Tmac's laziness just absolutely starts emitting through rest of team. They watch him being lazy and they get lazier and lazier. Even when they are playing hard earlier.
T-Mac was definitely the big liability tonight. Completely awful. Why run a gimp out there to absolutely embarrass himself?
He makes 18 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. For crying outloud play at least 60 games a year HARD AS HELL. Instead he plays 30 games weakly, 30 games hard, and 22 games he is injured. We have a right to B**** about Tmac. I know everyone is not Kobe, but Kobe played w/ a BROKEN FINGER. I don't care if that's not on your shooting hand or not, that's TOUGH and shows heart. Tmac gets a paper cut on his non shooting hand finger and I guarentee he is sitting out a week.
It's beyond physical ailments with McGrady. Recently, he has been a no show against the Kobes and such. The man is afraid to lose and, therefore he loses even before the game begins. One of the biggest factors for his failure to exit the first round. It's ok to show up, give a decent effort at best, and lose. But when you don't even show any effort, your mental makeup has to be questioned. The greats of the game compete.
I honestly wonder if people who are supporting McGrady here have watched the game, seriously, McGrady goes out of the game and the Cavs's lead is down to 6.
I am usually one to defend Tracy, but this game he has shown no interest or effort at all. Don't use that 4 games in 5 nights excuse, everyone else is bringing their A-game. Yeah, TMac might have a sore knee, but I'm pretty sure Artest has two torn ligaments in his ankles and has shown heart this game. He's just turned the off switch for today.
Game ain't over yet, hold your tongue atleast until the end of the game. He's leading the team in assists, and he still commands attention by the other team's defense. Give him some credit.
If he's hurt, and you see he can"t help the team, then he needs to sit. When he's out there showing no effort at all (whether due to injury or laziness) then i say its a joke.
T-Mac came out for a minute or two in the fourth and promptly went back to the bench. He didn't show any effort tonight. Might be back to "typical moody McGrady" again.
