lol. i feel ya. just put it all in perspective.

and think how great you will feel after a game 7 win at home

 

In the firs half the defense on him was not very agressive so he had more space. But than Solan saw there is only T-Mac and other players are struggling so he put a lot of pressure on Tracy. Our temmates just have to step up, create shoots for theirselfs as they did in game numer 5. T-Mac was agressive but they could not double Tracy because that left open guy for 3 and we were able to make that 3s. We made 12 3s and everybody steped up and made big shoots. So when we can make that shoots and Solan cannot double McGrady that leaves him 1 on 1 and he is able to drive or shoot or draw fouls

 

I know that we have talked about this before, and it's not something he can change in the next day, but TMac's jumper is unsound. It's like he can't make an unguarded set shot--he needs to be falling off somewhere, Sedale Threatt-like. In Game 5, he threw up an airball from the corner off of a set three. His jumper is different than it was a couple of years ago, and I think that as well as shot selection is why his shooting percentage has plummeted.

He honestly needs to work on it over the offseason; I am not sure if the back injury is affecting the lift or is decreasing the amount of time he practices or what. But for the body he has now and will have for the next couple of years, he needs to retool his jumper.

 

OMG, TMAC has Steve Francis like catch and shoot ability!

It's true he can't make a jumper where he wasn't dominating the ball to begin with to save his life. Fortunately, he is sooo much better than Steve in every other facet of the game, not a big deal.

 

Remember how we played phoenix at home for HCA? If the Roxs don't play with that intensity to close out game 7 on their home court(which they fought hard to obtain, while utah did everything to help us out)
the roxs will not win.

TMAC: 39 PTS, 11 rebounds, 9 assists.

I know the suns were not facing an elimination and they don't play d,
while the jazz play phsical d and all that.........but they are still a bad road team and have not won in houston this series...

lets go roxs.

 

In that game (with Suns) Rox had to win and they won! That was a lot of pressure but we handle that. So now we have to win again and again we're at home. Jazz are not really good team on the road.

 

I think it's pretty much beyond a shadow of doubt right now that he's far and away the best player on this team, and he's the only one who's capable of making things happen.

So yes, as Charles Barkley said: being a franchise player means you will either get all the credit or all the blame.

He would be a bona fide loser if we lose this Game 7 at home against the Jazz. No more excuses.

 

It will make his jumpers better to try 2000 makes everyday during the offseason.
