    TMAC needs to shoot well for us to win. On the season, TMAC shot 44% in wins and 37% in losses. TMAC shot 37% in the 8 games we've played in April

    Yeah. Folks taking quotes and putting different context around it. Putting words in T-Mac's mouth, making it more than it is.

    Exchange between reporter and T-Mac:

    What's a good burger joint for you and your family?

    "I like Burger King. They've got good burgers."

    Headline/article:

    T-Mac down on McDonalds!

    When asked about it: "I like Burger King. They've got good burgers."

    im tired of seeing crap posts like this about not driving and totally ignoring the fact that teams double the guy and pack out the driving lane.

    in the least bit assistant coach Gundy made HOU do it and stopped drives alot, HOU fans in particular should already know about this.

    It also doesnt help that no one else can drive.

    I'm tired of people make stupid excuses for a guy who won't go to the rim down the stretch.

    I'm tired of people expecting a player to unwisely go at double teams and a defense designed to prevent the very thing you are asking him to do.

    he could always try to draw a foul.. getting them in foul trouble seems like a good tactic. or pass it out to the open player that isn't on the double team.

    I guess Tmac can just do the Francis maneuver of dribbling around with the ball until there is lane open, then if there is no time left, jack up a shot. We know how much the BBS loved that.

    Or better yet go to the big fella down low who was being single covered. Also, you cant get a team in foul trouble if the refs swallow the whistle.
