We got every other crappy thread in here....might as well start my own. Where are all the t-mac haters? I thought for sure I would see a thread about how it's his fault by now. I don't know whats more depressing, the loss tonight or our fans. In before the lock
actually this is one of the better thread ideas of the night. tmac isn't being blamed even though you could say: * it's his fault for quitting on the team when 2 doctors told him he could play. * it's his fault for causing so much inconsistency and hurting team chemistry which resulted in 7 losses to last place teams during his 30 games this season. * it's his fault we dont have HCA against the blazers because he didn't guard roy on that miracle shot... "i thought ron was gonna switch." puh-lease. ok lets face it, that stuff is his fault, but the board has turned on rick adelman and aaron brooks, and even ron artest... tmac is an after thought when it comes to hating people right now.
I think the most depressing part is: "It's on me", "I'll get the last laugh" on McGrady's behalf, in which the fans responded by "Dude is a p***y", "Dude is bi-polar". Which can be agreed upon as it is true. Then we have Rockets winning a game, where fans rightfully say "This is the advantage of not having McGrady". Then we have Rockets losing the game, where fans wrongfully say "This game is on RA" Then we have fans saying "We are going to lose" which is parallel to McGrady's comments on his hurting knee "back to square one" It's ironic. If the fans were less like what they hate (McGrady), things would be a lot more rational aroudn here. Honestly, there is a resemblance between "I can't play well because of my knee" and "I have the right to be pissed because Rockets lost". Yes, I'm comparing McGrady attitude to fan attitude.
If only we had a healthy Tmac to run pick and rolls with yao at the end of the Dallas game. That would of solved the fronting problem. Well I guess you could blame Tmac for that?
I always thought it is absurd to blame TMac for any losses when he is not fully healthy this season. A healthy TMac would make the Rockets a very strong contender (his 13 pts in 35 seconds showed what he is capable of when he is healthy) and we would be not swept by the Lakers.
