to the op - this is not a blame game. i care about the team and how well it can do. to blame any individual player doesn't bring me any joy or give me any gain. as a fan my bottom line is to be able to see all of them trying and give an effort, which apparently doesn't apply to #1 right now. i never liked sf3's silly playing style, but at least he tries hard and so i could live with his era. and as a supposed leader and not giving max effort, after vowed to fully commit to play with energy, what mcgrady did last night was unforgivable. it feels like orlando 2003 all over again. we fans have the rights to feel angry. without we paying fans, this league doesn't exist and no one will be earn their million dollar paychecks.
Yao doesnt have the raw talent that tracy has. And yao has less 10 point games than tmac. And hes played more games this season as well. And who said yao could spark it at anytime? Lets get back to your argument of tracy being able to spark going off for 20+ points any game. Tell me again, why didnt tracy go off?
****ty thread........ Tracy is an embarrassment to anything and anyone that has ever been involved with the Rockets... It was MUCH, MUCH MORE THAN A BAD NIGHT... It is all about effort, Bad nights happen. Effort should never, ever waiver to the point that it did to Tracy last night, again, he was a ****ing embarrassment to the legacy of the Rockets... Take it from here Tinman...
So if the fans arent happy, then why dont they boycott it so they Owner does something about it, complaining on a forum isnt going to help....
Awesome metaphor. Blaming coach for the problems on this team is preposterous. And, in case anyone has forgotten, we're still 8 games over .500!
Neither his complaining about the complaining on this forum helping either. Im tellin' ya kid, everyone conforms to something.
I mean, if you didnt notive the irony of this statement before you posted it, theres no way you cant see it now.
If he doesn't get the chance to, how will he? That's possibly why he isn't happy with the lack of ball touches he gets.
King is none other then........... Tracy himself. Seriously, who else could possibly make the statements he's making other then the guy not trying on the court?
boycott? not technically. not going to watch a game? it can happen. gradually. compare the attendance now (not the greatest in the league) to the sf3's last couple of years before yao came. compare cleveland's attendance (back when i still held the league pass) to the years after lebron. people come to this great forum to cheer for great things happened to the team, or they rant about the opposite. isn't that part of the nature of being a fan, so long as you still possess the passion? i bet you 99% or more of the ppls posting on this site, no matter which side they take on this mcgrady saga, don't know him personally or have any relationship with him.
Why the hell should I blame the other players when McLady been the worst player for the last 5 games while Yao and Artest are trying. I would trade Tmac for a pair of dirty socks at the moment.
It is always something huh? I thought it impossible for someone to stand up for what Tracy did last night. He pulled down his pants, and took a huge dump on all his teammates, fans, coaches, and management. I will never forgive him for it, he needs to go. That is not how a "Rocket" plays this game...
Doesnt get the chance too? Please tell me, what good was he doing 5 feet beyond the arc? And the funny thing is, we gave him the ball too! He just didnt do anything with it. Like seriously, if I was playing just a pick up game with people. And one guy kept sitting beyond the arc and doing nothing with the ball when we did pass it to him, and THEN he complained about how he couldnt get into a groove because he didnt get enough touches when he wouldnt wander in to the paint is disgusting.
exactly! anyone who's been a Rocket fan for more then a few years remembers the heart players like Dream, Horry, Cassell, Thorpe, Drexler, etc showed. And now, to have a player like Tracy come in here, wear a uniform we hold to a certain standard, and do what he's been doing the last few games, is a total disgrace to the franchise. He is slapping the franchise, and the fans, in the face. (not to mention his own teammates)
If alot of "fans" feel the same way about Tmac, and if yall stop going to the games, then management will do something about it. Get a thousand plus to stop comming and complain and write letters to the orginization about not being happy with having Tmac thier. Money talks, stop spending it on them and they will look for ways so you can spend it on them.
