    tinman, the poster you responded to said tmac only "hit" around 2 3s a game. "hitting" is not the same as "attempting."

    He's basically just looking for an excuse to post stats, old school pictures, some 90's pop culture reference, and then call you a TOF while ignoring the majority of your post by focusing on something largely irrelevant.

    Nothing surprising really.

    In all seriousness he would be a rich mans Pistol Pete in that era, lets not make this game out to be more than it is. It hasnt changed THAT much since the 70's.

    Nobody is denying Julius Irving the PLAYER is better. But making dumb posts like his afro is better than TMAC the player is stupid, and just invites more stupid posts to bring down the GARM, and you're contributing to it.

    You realize every Tmac thread ends up being some type of Quantum Leap, Time Bandits , Heroes' Hiro type of discussion.

    This whole idea of him returning for the vet minimum is less probable than an episode of this:

    The other tmac fans have no idea who Julius Erving is, they pretty much dissed all the other eras of basketball.

    At least when I do throw something at them, they're going to have to google Julius and that would at least educate them on nba history.

    Should start dropping stuff like Tmac can't hang with Michael Ray Richardson on crack?

    Because you go into every thread and post "Well T-Mac couldn't hang with the likes of [old-school basketball player] you TOFs need to learn history like [pop culture reference]

    [Image of pop-culture reference and/or old school basketball player]


    Oh hey, glad to see you demonstrate in the post right after.

    Nobody would be comparing McGrady to Julius Irving--in fact, I don't think anyone but you is even comparing them--if you never "threw it at them."

    You keep going around convincing yourself that you're "educating" TOFs. Who here is a TOF? Who are you talking to? What if, God forbid, there are no TOfs left here? Does your life lose meaning or something?

    You post in every McGrady thread. You forcibly instill a schism between posters with your TOF talk. You never address the majority of a person's reply, only focusing on one or two sentences out of context usually by means of an image. You get your images from a site called "troll.me".

    You are the troll of Clutchfans.

    hahaha,

    you are actually look at the links of the pictures? I don't care where it's from. I had to find the Ancient Aliens guy, because he makes more sense than the TOFs.

    Again, like the others ask, what is YOUR PURPOSE on this thread?

    You keep showing up like flying saucers on this thread too.

    TOFs need educating. they are freaking TOFs!!

    you really think your TOF rescuing comments mean anything? I don't think so. They can't be saved.

    Some guy made an excuse that Sampson had Olajuwon so that's why Tmac > Sampson? I'm not going to let TOFs get away with that .

    It's an indication of what you are. You find the images that post--regardless if you care about the origin--on troll sites because they are mainly used to...drumroll...troll forums.

    I've repeated it time and again, but I'm here to deal with your coalition of trolls, because they actually exist and are a problem.

    Again, who here is a TOF? Who are you trying to "educate"? Name a TOF for me, please. It's been asked before to a different member of your coalition and it wasn't able to be answered. I can, however, name members of your coaltion: tinman. tcadriel. chenjy9. I can go on.

    How did Sampson get in this thread?
    Oh right, you brought him up. It's your own damn fault. You perpetuate this cycle because, again, you are a troll and you've lowered Rockets history to the status of your petty troll bait. That is a far greater insult to the Rockets than any imaginary "TOF."

    Howdy, good to see this is still going for some God forsaken reason.

    I wouldn't call Tinman a troll. A little crazy to be sure, but his intentions are good.

    Anyway, best of luck with it all. It has become difficult to find references to the original topic in the posts, so I think we can upgrade this McGrady discussion to 'partisan politics status'.

    Here you go bringing me back into this, thanks. I think he's trying to educate YOU. As far as TOF's, If you'd take one look in the mirror you'd see yourself, RedRedemption, val_modus. I can go on.

    Sampson was brought up as easily as you bringing up Moses. As far as trolls your the worst, cause apparently you claim to agree with Tracy and all his faults but still (for no good reason), your here kicking the poo.

    Do you want tracy back for the vet minimum? And as you've said, if you "agree with all faults" what is your point here? Didn't you call yourself the "internet police"? Didn't you claim to be a fan of the "Art of Rhetoric"?

    At least I'm here to tell you I can't stand Tracy or anything he stands for basketball wise. You have no point just spewwage which makes YOU the biggest troll here.

    This guy again. It was fun systematically destroying you earlier, but now all you really are is annoying. I see you're still sticking to the points that I've already addressed in every single reply I made to you. Listen, before you continue asking me more of the same questions, I think you should answer the ones I asked you earlier. It's very rude otherwise.
    I suppose I'll humor you nonetheless.

    1) TOF means Tracy Only Fan. RedRedemption is a Rockets fan. val_modus is a Rockets fan. I am a Rockets fan. That's why we're all still here.
    2) For the last time, I wasn't comparing Moses to McGrady directly, I'm not sure how you still don't understand this.
    3) You seemed to have answered your own question about what I'm doing here, even though I already told you, and said so even in the post you were quoting. Glad to see your reading comprehension hasn't improved.
    4) Again with the "you have no point" thing? Even after I spelled it out for you time after time? I'd ask you to elaborate...but I already have, several times.

    Also, I was going to let this go but...
    I'm not sure whether I should laugh, or shake my head, or both. smhofl?

    Thinking you systematically destroyed anything is laughable, but if you sleep better. LOL. Btw You've been annoying from the get go.

    I guess I'll lay your questions out in a elementary format so you won't get confused.

    Where have I miss represented history? Answer: by claiming Tracy and Moses or their situations even resemble each other. Not too hard to comprehend.

    Why don't my points make sense? Answer: see above answer, and claiming your not a Tracy fan when you go to every length to argue every post NOT in his favor. Even going to the point of saying there's some coaliltion and name calling.

    How am I holding on to the Moses comparison? Answer: By repeating yourself over and over to prove Tracy is not a cancer. I didn't bring it up you did and I called you out on it.

    How are my arguments fallacious? Answer: By comparing Tracy's/Moses's situations.

    Do you even know what a logical fallacy is? Answer: tending to deceive or mislead. a incorrect argument. Example: your Tracy/Moses comparison.

    Where am I dodging facts? Answer: Here on this board, you refuse to except them.

    Do you know what a fact is? Answer: Something that actually exists, reality, truth. Something know to exist or to have happened. Example: Tracy hasn't lead a team past the first round, Moses did, WCF's. Tracy hasn't left anyone of his teams on good terms.

    I answered yours, Now answer my questions. No double talk, just straight answers. Even if you feel you've already answered them, I won't ask them again. This will show your character. They are simple.

    1). Do you want Tracy back for the vet. Minimum?

    2). If you agree with all his faults, what is your point here?

    3). Did you call yourself the internet police?

    4). Do you claim to be a fan of the Art of Rhetoric?

    5). Do you personally prioritize scoring 13 points in 35 seconds over playoff success?

    you can try to call me whatever you want. I'm a 99er and true witness of clutch city.

    you can pretend you aren't a TOF, but you are the first person to show up to defend someone with lunatic idea of what happened in reality.

    you are trying to being the SuperTOF to the Louis Lane TOFs.

    Tracy McGrady was painted as some 'poor' sympathetic player like he was baby Jessica or something. I basically mentioned if you felt sorry for someone as a Rockets fan, it would be Ralph Sampson because he helped the Rockets go to the Finals and then his team collapsed because of drugs and he actually got injured in a game that cost him his career.

    Who injured McGrady?

    Save your troubles.
    TOFs can't answer questions they can only ask more questions, like "What if"
    That cuddie guy can't be saved, you can't remove the #1 tattooed in his mind.

    Professor Xavier can't even figure out what he's thinking.

    Are you serious man. We can't even feel bad about a Rocket getting injured anymore unless a certain person injures him. I assume you don't feel sorry for Yao either because no particular person caused his career ending injury in 08-09 playoffs.

    I don't think you are a true rocket fan. You would rather laugh at the fact T-Mac didn't make it out of the first round in 2009, rather then feeling bad that a healthy Tmac could've took our team way way closer to the title.

    And now you are pathetic enough to sit behind a computer and downplay a professional athlete various injuries when they are the ones that put their bodies on the line every night.
