He needs to spend more time watching film if mentally he thinks he's hustling each game. If in his mind he thinks he's hustling on the court, he's got some mental issues. Double up the rehab effort, that can be fixed much more easily than readjusting the mental outlook of his aggressiveness.
Tmac is talking some serious bs. He couldn't be that unaware of the effort he was giving in Toronto. It's one thing to be hurt or exhausted, it's other to not try. Tmac was simply not trying. Now he's trying to act all surprised about how his play looks on TV. He knew exactly what he was doing. Oh, he'll have the last laugh alright. He'll be laughing all the way to the bank while his teammates are busting their asses on the court.
Where in the article did he critisize himself? All he was doing was defending his poor play with the injury excuse. His mindset isn't going to change people. He's going to take games off and have his games where he shoots 2-15. Oh but once he drops 30 in the playoffs by taking every shot people forget about all of that. Nowhere did I see him talking about cutting or playing within the offense. That's a red flag. One of the key problems is the contrast between Adelman and T-Mac. This article didn't tell me anything except T-Mac spewing his usual BS. Don't get your hopes up people. I called the Francis disappointment as soon as he arrived, so listen to me.
By the way do you all honestly believe T-Mac is going to start diving for loose balls and hustling on defense? I don't. He's going to be the same old T-Mac, slowing down the tempo, walking the ball up the court and escorting the opponent to the basket.
He *WAS* diving for loose balls this season before he started playing so badly...I mean, for what it's worth, haha.
It sounds good and I want to believe him but like other memebers said, "Talk is cheap!"...You can't put shyt in the fridge, and tell me its pudding..I dont believe it
And when I get back up, I’m going to sit back, and I’m going to laugh, man, because I’m going to have the last laugh. Laugh it up Fuzzball, it's been over 4 years!
Just thought you guys should see how Jermaine O'Neal deals with adversity. http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/547522 If only Tracy had that kind of attitude.
Before he came to Houston, I was his biggest fan. His skills were off the chart. Since he has been here, each season, I like him less and less. Not because he is physically declining, but because he is always whining. It's always something. I have come to realize what a drama queen he is and he is just lazy. Hurt or not, just lazy. He may explode for 40, but he is very inconsistent and very inefficient. He often throws up garbage, 30% or less. I am really tired of him and have long since concluded that he will never lead a team anywhere. As Magic pointed out last year, the TMac/Yao experiment has failed. Right after that Les announced that the Rockets will continue to build around TMac and Yao. That was dumb; they should have made some strategic trades while they could. Too late.
Of course he will get the last laugh, he's making 22 million!..I would get the last laugh too if I made 22million
