    "I like it. Yeah, yeah. I like it," Kirilenko said. "We are really paying attention to him. I think we are doing a great defensive job, forcing him to play physical. We know he does not like that. Foul him sometimes.

    "I think what we have seen in this series is he is set or stuck in this kind of a game and it's not going to be easy for him to do anything with the ball."

    he also said tmac's disappearance in the 4th has become a "tradition"

    deron:
    "I'm happy he only got one shot (in the fourth quarter)," said the Jazz's Deron Williams. "I am surprised. I thought he'd be a little more aggressive. I know he talked about being more aggressive to (the media)."

    "These are the playoffs, man," Williams said. "You've got to step it up. I'm definitely glad T-Mac has said he had no legs, because that's our game plan — try to wear him out. All the guys — Ronnie Brewer, Matt Harpring, AK — they all did a good job on him. He shot 9-for-25 and we've got to be happy with that."

    brewer:
    "I'm kind of surprised," Brewer said. "Because I think they're a team that pretty much goes whatever way T-Mac goes. We'd rather have somebody else try to beat us than have T-Mac take over the game and get 50 points. If he's not going to be able to get it going, we'll take it. It's worked so far in the series."

    ah man, if tmac does not step up in game 5 in teh 4th after these scrubs said these things, he should just retire.

    I don't have a problem with any of those statements.

    Well, he was considering retirement a year or two ago. I wouldn't be that surprised if he's considering it again.

    If 0-6 (going on 0-7) doesn't light a fire for T-Mac, trust me, nothing will. Face it people. T-Mac just doesn't cut it mentally, and these days, physically either.

    everything they said is true I was once a die hard tracy find but after seeing him play these past 4 games he dropped a notch lower in my belt. I would agree Kobe will light Utah up when the play the Lakers IF they play the Lakers. As much as I am disgusted with Tracy's peformance ala 9 for 27 I am a Rocket fan first and will still support him. If i was Tracy and someone said those comments about me I will light them up for 50.

    The Jazz are scum, but give them their due. They played T-Mac with single coverage for pretty much all of game 4 and still managed to keep his numbers down. They're not doubling and leaving Rockets open--instead they're playing Tracy hard in single coverage with a variety of guys and wearing him down that way.

    Well TMac did almost get a triple double. He should bribe Ginobli and D-Wade on pointers to get calls.

    Anything. Whatever.

    Well there you go. This article reveals a lot:

    -McGrady needs to learn to keep his gameplan to himself. Don't show any weaknesses in the game or in the media. Telling the media what's bothering you is basically doing one half of Utah's job. All they need to do is execute.

    Hopefully, this is enough fuel to keep McGrady in "Hulk Mode." When he's not angry, he's Bruce Banner. If you knock him in his mouth and get him angry, he turns into the Incredible Hulk and plays more aggressively.


    -Fouling is part of the Utah Jazz gameplan. David Stern, refs: TAKE NOTE.

    -The Jazz players are a bunch of straight PUNKS. The trash talking gets louder and louder the more they feel they have the series.

    Here's to the Rockets regaining clutch city form.

    After hearing the Utah crowd chant "Overrated, Overrated" when he would go to shoot the free throws, if that moment doesn't get him fired up, then perhaps nothing will.

    I think he went on to brick half of his 4th quarter free throws after that moment.

    Surprised? Bull!@#$. TMac has a bad knee and a bad back for this series. During the 22 game win streak, he played 2, 48 minute games. He can't even imagine doing that now. They are talking trash about an injured TMac. Just shows how low (or stupid) they are. They don't even mention he's playing injured.

    Unfortunately, the sad reality is Tmac cant takeover anymore.

    Even last year, I remember Tmac had "on nights" where he lit up whoever and whenever. And that was even less impressive than the year before.

    But After the last 10 games, I have come to the sad realisation that Tmac cant "light" anyone up no more, at least not on the scale of what he use to be able to do.

    He got 7 points in the 4th quarter lasst time and people were like "whoa this guy exploded", Exploded in the past would have meant "14 points" or something like that. 7 points was just normal for him in the past.

    Tmac can still do everything else very well, especially passing, but he is not the offensive force that puts fear into the opponent, i am afraid

    but prove me wrong PLEASE

    Furthermore,

    does anyone else notice that Tmac is getting rejected more and more these days?

    I am not only talking about when he goes to the rim, which is rare in the past,

    but he is getting rejected on JUMP SHOTS. TMAC has seriously got rejected only a hand ful of times in the past (not offbalance jump shots, but ones where he just jumps and shoots over whoever)

    but he got rejected a few times in this series, AK, Korver

    I remember watching Tmac school AK in the past, shooting in his face, getting rejected was never a question, but now, it seems highlyl likely

    Has his atheleticsm decreased so much? *end rant*

    Sounds like the pathetic j*zz are hoping TMac tries to force the issue and take bad shots in Game 5 as opposed to finding his open teammates.

    In the 4th quarter, Tracy is the one who has been pathetic. This board would still be in flames if Landry hadn't bailed him out in game 3 after he totally choked his last shot.
