of playing baseball. lets not forget other circumstances. jordan's team had just done something no other team had done since russell's celtics.
"Him not being here is going to be tough for me. I don't know what I'm going to wake up for." Lets play a game. Who said it?! And rest assure his game hasn't been the same since.
What do you mean "he got over it." He retired. Sure, he eventually came back - a year later - but using that to say he "got over it" is like saying T-Mac has been complaining about this problem for over a year and won't ever stop. Sheesh, we know you hate the guy, we know you want Steve back and the trade undone, but atleast pick your battles and stop embarrassing yourself.
I'm not saying t-mac shouldn't be sad, I'm just think its bull to use it as an excuse. and that's all I have to say.
are you seriously comparing t-mac's situation to jordan's. lets remember how that all went down. first of all jordan continued to play and won a championship. second of all, his FATHER, was found murdered, after going missing, and the national media started speculating if it was jordan's fault because of his gambling. lastly, he went to play baseball after his team had accomplished something that hadn't been accomplished in decades. the only people who are embarrassing themselves are fans who buy the drama.
He's still suiting up, isn't he? He's still winning games, isn't he? What more do you want from the guy? Would you rather he decline comment every time 20 microphones are shoved in his face asking him why he went 3-20, and be left to wonder/dread that his back is/will be a chronic problem?
Actually, I take that back. I'm sure you would go to bed feeling better knowing that his back is acting up so you could feel some sense of victory over the Francis trade.
I never said he shouldn't talk about his back problem btw. that's legitimate as far as play is concerned.
You aren't saying it about Francis. He's been playing that way most of the season. It's different for T-mac or Yao though.
Come on P If it is a rocket . .they like Any and every Excuse is valid If they kind of like them . .they will kind of buy if they don't like you . . NO EXCUSES!! NO EXCUSES .. hhhmmm .. that sounds familiar Rocket River
Francis's numbers in orlando didn't change after cuttino was traded. they changed after he got a new coach.
Who cares? Most people stopped caring about Francis after Rockets got a better player in the trade. Francis, though he played hard, was IQ challenged on the court. Word around the league is, he still is.
I didn't bring francis into this. I don't care, but whenever I say something about mcgrady, people want to talk francis. so I oblige.
I don't care who you are, if you got problems that are more than what I'm going to have for lunch, its going to show. Mcgrady had some personal problems, and yes it affected him at work, but in no way do I even begin to start pointing fingers.
Another PGabriel pissing match... Anyways, is that audio link posted on SR610's website yet? I completely missed the T-Mac interview except for a few sounbites they played later on in the show. From the sound of things, T-Mac is a YOF, he really loves the big man...
HAHAHAHA. That goes a long way towards team chemistry though. It's nice to hear that, and I'm sure this team has a good chemistry, this team seems to like eachother, the wins will just keep coming.
