    I think losing in the playoffs has done more to Tmac's fragile ego than anything else. In addition, being honest about where he's at physically is very important. His hops are basically gone and his hops were a very important part of his game. His dribbling is gone because is no longer able to bend over and dribble effectively

    Example, passes on wide open shots in game 7. No way Lebron, Bdiddy, Billups, or any other "superstar" passes during that time. When he finally takes the shot, his a$$ is so tight he hits the rim so hard the ball lands in row 10.

    Example, stops going to the bucket because he's either afraid of the contact, saving energy, or afraid of AK blocking his shot.

    Example, stands on the perimeter and watches offensive rebound after rebound go to the Jazz. We do remember that he used to rebound.

    Example, doesn't come from the weakside (ala AK) to block shots anymore, why, his hops are gone.

    Example, goes right to the hole on AK and gets by him, however, he doesn't have the hops to dunk the ball let alone finish.

    Example, has his shot block by Twolve Jaric - twice. No way that happens before the injury

    It depends on what the definition of "is T-Mac is" is.

    It sounds like you know as much about the basketball as you do grammar. Why would you think a guy, who only missed 8 games and played at an MVP level, is done? He still has 3-4 all star years left.

    After reading the rest of your post all that needs to be said is, "STUPID"!

    Did you seriously just try to say Mac's ball handling is no good because he cannot bend down? :rolleyes:

    A player that finished top 5 in MVP voting this year, and he's done? :confused:

    Get a clue man. If anything, he's going to be a rejuvinated new T-Mac under Adelman.

    "His dribbling is gone because is no longer able to bend over and dribble effectively." Freaking priceless, a new LHutz? Major props to you on that one, I have a new signature.

    dude, what did tmac show u in game 7? 29 and 13 is done? he showed u he can still penetrate and finish. not as well as he could but it's still there.

    but the glaring weakness at his game is his jumper. VERY OBVIOUS WEAKNESS.

    if he comes back next yr sucking with this J again, then don't expect a very potent offensive tmac ever again. but i doubt that. jump shooting is a lot about rhythm and mechanics. his rhythm was off the whole season. his elevation wasn't there.

    and even w/o his J, he still dominated game 7. sure he coudl have drove more and all that, but the role players just were not there AGAIN.

    lebron dominated the last game. but his role players won the last 2 games for him. our role players did not win one game for us.

    He is on the downside of his career and will only get worse from here on out. I wouldn't go as far to call him "done" becaue he's still a top 15 talent at best and top 20 at worst.

    the only thing that bothers me really is his mental state, it has been worsening each year, its like something is missing, not ticking right...the problems with his back and family issues are a part of it...I wouldn't be surprised if he does something stupid the next 3 years.... :cool:
