25 points 7 assists 5 boards on 45% and 86% free throw line

Yet he's the reason we lost....
I really have no freaking idea why some people are blaming the lost on him.

 

Agree!

 

I think he could get to the line 10 times the way hes been attacking, I just hope he doesn't stop when he get his jumper on point.

 

yes, tmac is responsible for yao missing layups and getting blocked by the rim and not boxing out to rebound. tmac is so powerful.

 

he will mix it up more when his jumper returns. the last jumper he took (you always prefer him to drive) over aldrige and missed, was set up by the drive he did before getting the assist to landry. aldridge respected that and gave him enough space so tmac had to shoot.

when his J returns, look for him to mix up his game and become more predictable. again, with that knee, we haven't seen him curling around screens for those mid-range J. that's a lethal play in our playbook. he'll get there.

 

I agree. Even thought sometime I don't mind him taking jumpshots because I know he can make them, and he really haven't been taking bad shots. Last night the Blazers force him to take jumpshots becasue they saw he was in attach mode late in the game so he had to shoot. But when he did get to the rim he kicked the ball back out and I remember him passing it to Landry for that dunk.

 

maybe he's tmac's shadow.

every thread.


like i said, Tmac's GOd.

 

Just wondering, have you ever posted a non pesismistic post? I mean your criticism is valid, but come on. Give credit where it is due.

 

Found this one at ESPN.com T-mac Talks about the big three

doesnt mean much guys, remember how he started last yr. He looked like the best player in the league the first few weeks but i remember us losing to alot of chump teams for the same reasons, Yao being soft, and lack rebounding and defense.

 

its really nice to see TMAC taking the rock to the hoop more frequently.i just hope that he stays consistent and continues to shoot over 80% at the stripe.

W/ his D yeah lets be honest he needs to improve on his D..but whats affecting his D is his lateral quickness he cant stay in front of his man because of his knee.but other than that he's doing pretty well in challenging shots and boxing out..his rebounds reflect on that plus he's among the top 10 in spg this season so far.

 

you guys b****ing about his defense haven't even acknowledged the lockjob he did on outlaw last night. once tmac was switched to him, outlaw was completely ineffective.

 

tmac's been playing some truly amazing ball. He said beforethe season began that he would be more agressive, and he's truly delivered. He's been driving to the rack more frequently than i had ever hoped for in the regular season and its good to see that it often translates to points .

 

What crawled up your ass and died? We lost to Boston and Portland, both close games, both because of a few unlucky bounces. We are struggling because the long established pecking order of the big 2 then the role players has been blown up by the acquisition of Crazy Pills. Of course it's gonna take some time to gel.

You guys need to get out of your instant gratification mindset and realize that this team is very much a work in progress. Just sit tight until Yao inevitably breaks out of his slump and the sun will shine on your depressing world.

Who's pounding his chest btw? Looking at the bright spots doesn't mean he's being pompous. What's wrong with being happy with T-Mac's improvement? What's your problem?

 

yeah, with that bad shoulder of his, he goes for lay ups instead of jump shot.
And with him hurting, he use more legs in his FTs.

Oh one more thing, last 3 games.
Its 26 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.

 

This is great to see however the season is still infantile.
