[ESPN] Five questions with Rockets forward Tracy McGrady

pretty honest fellow

 

paging all ****.

all **** to this thread.

edit: whoa... Y O F is censored??!?

 

Good read. Thanks.

 

Having fun with censorship:

*** you all you *** in *** s. That'll teach you to go off and *** your *** without using your ***, ya *** for *** pie ***. Back in the old days there werent no *** ing in the *** ing forums, but now it's just *** *** *** like a bunch of *** ing on a Sunday ***. Couldn't even *** a plate, these ****.

 

No one is expecting us to do much in the playoffs, remember every single media outlet predicted we'll miss the playoffs and so far so good without Yao. Our guys are playing with all the confidence in the world right now

 

Touche

 

I am a Chinese Rox fan. I have to admit that part TMAC commenting on Yao is totally right. TRADE YAO! Or send Yao back to CHINA. YAO can never fit in NBA!

 

Eventually someone will bash him for saying what he said about Yao ... just a matter of time but what he said is true. We are playing a different style with Yao out. We ar eplaying the fast break push the ball offense. That means we will allow more points but score more too. With Yao we play slow halfcourt games and dominate defensive stats. With him out we play fast full court games and dominate offensive stats. Both are working and its impossible to say which way is better. That is pretty much what T-Mac was saying.



On a side note I joined Clutchfans right after Y O F stuff went down. I remember seeing a few threads of people complaining about the people who use it and two weeks later it was banned. However I still can't figure out what it stands for. I garner from the tone I have seen it in it is a negative abbrev. about Yao. Someone care to explain. Maybe send it in message since its probably banned for a reason and you wouldn't be able to write what it means here without being censored.

 

Guess TMAC really enjoy current style (without Yao). Deke can give better D. There's no place for Yao in this TEAM. He need to go.

 

I disagree Tmac's comments on Yao.

However, I do think this is a positive attitude towards life!

Yao cannot play for the rest of season. Tmac needs to convince himself that the rockets can win without Yao.

 

Oh here we go again T-Mac will never learn. I thought he said his action will do all the talking?

 

I thought he's telling the truth. Let's get rid of Yao. TMAC is a great baller. He's professional. What he said must be 100% true!

This link is about Tmac's answers for some questions in his own website. He also compares Deke to Yao, and I think that is more complete answer.

 

Marc Stein's schedule break down is more interesting than the interview. According to him, we have a 21-10 record against remaining competition to be faced (21 games). If we can match that winning % for the remaining games, we'll end up at 55 wins. I'll take that.

 

What did T-Mac say he hasn't already or that's outrageously stupid?

Unless he asked for this interview, it's not his fault? He didn't call a press conference to talk about the team's new up-tempo style and the mobility with Deke or even that he didn't think he'd be traded.

I don't see what he did wrong. No 'It's on me' or 'It's feels good to be in the second round' or 'I will make Stro an All-Star', etc. etc. etc.

 

"It's no knock on Yao, but sometimes we're a lot better defensive team when we have Dikembe out there because that's really what Deke brings to us"

sometimes; –adverb, on some occasions; at times; now and then.

 

As I said, Tmac is trying to convince himself that the rockets can win without Yao, and I think that is a right thing for him to do. Life must go on!

 

Oh my god, the exact same things I said in my thread. I got crucified for saying the paint was no longer clogged up because JVG said it wasn't. I also like how Tracy said "No Knock on Yao". It isn't a knock on Yao, it is just the truth, it is what it is.
