It's obvious you're new on the Tracy bandwagon. Do some research on Tracy starting with Toronto. The whole surgery thing last year was minor.
This is a typical YOF with the #11 attached to his user name. Where will you go once Yao retires or leaves?
yes i still believe in him. 'cause he is the Rocket player. That's the reason enough for me to believe and support him.
Wellp... there's evidence of that in the NBA Dish in that top 5 players coming in to 09/10 season thread.
First and foremost I'm a Houston Rocket fan. I criticize any player that has taken a dump on the Rockets organization. Unfortunately Tracy is the only player that has. Where will you go once Tracy is traded or decides to quit on his team mates and organization?
Those teams were good enough to advance to the 2nd round. As a matter of fact, If I recall correctly in the 2007 Playoffs That was Tracy's first and only time he was favored to win the series and he failed. So really, I Don't know why people constantly bring up how He has garbage teams when that is so far from the truth. He did have garbage teams on the Orlando Magic, and I give him credit there, as far as being a Rocket he has yet and probably never will take his advantage to win. This is what happens when an athletic player like him fails to win games in the playoffs, You just blame the teammates instead.
As far as this board is concerned, TMac is the "new" Stevie Franchise from the beginning of last season. We even had similar pics of a slim and trim Stevie working out, hard. Then reality hit, Steve was done. Brace yourself for a similar outcome. TMac "may be" working hard, he "may be" motivated, he might even be able to recapture a moment or two of past glory (remember Stevie's put back dunk?), BUT very likely his body will betray him. TMac looks like a 40 year old man, and in basketball years that is likely how old he really is. Honestly, does he look late twenties? Only Les and a few of you guys really believe he will be reborn and lead the Rockets to glory land. I don't share your view, but if it happens no one would be happier than me.
You need to calm down. Nobody said it hadn't been Tracy's fault. It sure had been. But people like you like to blame only Tracy for that. Sure, he said all that stupid 'it's on me' stuff and that was a big time mistake. As for the '07 playoffs. Were we favored? Probably yes (on paper) but I'd say it was more of a 50-50 series. Utah was pretty damn good, too. But let's face it. It was not T-Mac's fault that only 4 guys scored in one game (probably that has happend only once in the history), it is not his fault that Hayes was a starting 4 and Juwan, Luther, Rafer couldn't made a damn shot to save their lives. Sure, he could have done better. They lost and that's a fact.
that could be the case. but steve hadn't been good for 3 years before his comeback with us. tracy, whenever his knee felt good last yr after a few hiatus, played at an all-star level (19-20, 6, 6). so he's not steve francis yet.
yes, i do believe and we are going to be even rowdier than last year. lets bank on YAO coming back like a hero.
