TMac sucked no surprises here, but am I the only one here who thinks we lost it at the end because of Yao's D?? He gave up so many buckets at the end there. I also blame Adelman, no friggin adjustment when Yao was getting abused.
Why are we complimenting Artest. He has pretty much sucked this year outside of a game or two. Everyone bashes Tmac for taking jumpers but fail to realize Artest is completely three point happy and has been taking some horrible shots the past few games. He isnt driving in or even posting up effectively. Lets not pretend that Artest has been doing what we hoped he would be doing for this team.
However, had the offense not sputtered in the fourth they would have maintained their lead and it would have been one of the few games they didn't give up 100+ points. Unfortunately, if Ginobli and Parker were playing we would have been blown out of there period. They are still not giving 100% effort on both sides of the ball consistently throughout the game. I think they've still got a ways to go before this ship is set in the right direction.
TMAC said on his website that we would see a fierce TMAC on the court this year and promised it. i dont see it..you can have an off night and shoot 2-12,its alright everyone has those nights but you dont see the toughness and effort in him. unlike ron who has a string of off-nights but you clearly see the effort he exerts when he is on the floor. TMAC is just damn lazy...yo guys dont get me wrong..im a huge TMAC fan not a hater just keeping it real..he needs to be consistent and put more effort thats all.
