I don't mind Tmac taking jumpers at the end of the game. He has hit huge clutch jumpers against: Portland, 76'ers, Spurs, Bobcats, and others. The problem is that he needs to take it inside early in the game. Stop firing jumpers on the first possession of the game without testing the defense. That will put pressure on the D, get some easy points, and set up other teammates more often. Overall, Tmac has definately shown that he is able to hit the big jumper late.
TMac is probably worried about hurting his back by driving in too much. Yao needs more shots and needs to start b****ing at the refs.
...you are expecting a lot to have posters on this board actually watch other games before spewing comments about other players around the league !
I'll settle for TMacs game just the way it is. Why can't you guys appreciate greatness when you see it?
I personally do appreciate Tmac. But this thread is about Tmac taking it to the hole, which he doesn't do enough of.
I've never really logged the number of times he could have taken it to the hole or "settled" for a jumper. As much as he is double teamed I don't have a problem with him taking any jumper if he is open.
So did any of you Kobe lovers see his game again tonight??? He SHOT something like 2-16, with about 5 TOs!!! Give me a break about Kobe going to the rack stong all the time unlike T-mac watch a few more of Kobes games and you will see....
T mac was more aggresive tonight and it paid off.It's a fact, that he needs to drive more which he did do tonight.listen to bill and van they say it all the time.
