you realize.. this is the second time this season Tracy's actually complained about a lack of touches.. after a string of single digit points, poor shooting, lackadaisical performances...? I say enough is enough.. the team has let this go far enough.. we're at the month of January and still playing as inconsistent as late November.. and that it's more than fair.. that as far as Tracy's case goes.. it's two strikes and you're out..
Sometimes when I read Alston's quotes I get the feeling he's really referring just to T-Mac instead of the addressing the whole team?
We have seen how a TMac dominated offense ends......guaranteed first round exit. He needs to grow up, or move out. And he got 9 shots up in less than 30 minutes. DD
Maybe TMac should assert himself better on offense during games instead of complaining about it afterwards. Be a leader! Geez!
Unless he wanna be a spot up shooter like Brent Barry,if that happens,he won't be of importance to our team and no double team would be drawn onto him. So,next move we should take is trade him for whoever we can get before he totes gets himself devalued.
I've been a Tmac fan ever since he got drafted. This is not Tmac we have been watching this season. The reality is that if he continues to play at this level, we're not going to go very far. If we trade Tmac now, we're not going to get a lot for him. 2009 is going to be terrible year already.
McGrady started but said he will skip Saturday's game at Atlanta and is only expected to play every other game during a stretch of three back-to-backs over the next nine days. This frustrates me more than anything. How is the team supposed to build chemistry this way? When the hell and how the hell is his knee supposed to get better? Ugh
The guy thats openly dissatisfied with his play and his health, and worked the front office to get back-to-backs off, wants more shots for his self admitted physically hobbled, subpar performing self? Sulking, not hustling, and complaining about lack of shots. How much more prima donna can you get? Approval ratings are starting to slip, big guy. Acknowledge it and do something about it. Dont go on the denial "I dont think about it, it doesnt bother me" approach.
The truth hurts,he's no longer who he was anymore,God made up his mind that T-MAC won't be dominant as before.He's in the league for 11 years and got tired of all this,he lacks of heart and soul to compete every one to win,he's just a sheep sent by the God to kill the sleeping wolves,right now,all wolves awakening and start to fight back.But he still doesn't figure it out yet.
I'm disappointed. Such a showing, and nobody throws the towel? Nobody calls someone out? Nobody takes on the responsibility? I hope to hear the starting five say: it's on me, it's on us. I can tolerate hitting under 40%. I can tolerate stagnant offense. But please, play like you care!
That shows why he is one of the biggest loser. He said "We are all out of sync" when he played poorly, and Yao said "You can’t say, ‘We need to make shots.’ I need to point to myself. I need to do better, putting layups in the basket" T-Mac is blaming the team, and Yao is blaming himself. So loser is always a loser, because he dares not to admit a loss even when he has one.
Technically Yao called himself out. Lets see what effect Mutombo has on this team. Maybe its greater then first thought
Oh hell no, I thought he'd care about team success more than his own. I wouldn't mind himtaking more shots if he didn't shoot such a bad percentage.
^^ good point about Yao/Tmac. Both were awful, although Tmac was worse; and it is Yao who blames himself and Tmac who says its the team. I just dont like Mac anymore, he's a cancer
Hahahahahhahahahahaha... Oh, Tmac. What a tool. When it stops taking the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, Allah, and Buddha working together on a miracle for his jumper to go through the hoop, then maybe he deserves more shots.
Man tmac is a pretty confusing character.. just a day ago he was saying how he changed as a character and became more of a facilitor because lots of peopel on the team could score, i dun see anyone being able to score well besides yao, artest, and wafer today. Now all of a sudden he needs the shots, i think he should take more shots cause there just isnt enough offensive power at the moment. who knows maybe he might actually get into a groove. has he taken more then 20 shots this season?
They should threaten Grady and donate a games worth of his salary ($250,000) to charity for every game he sucks. LOL
