you have to realize that the old t-mac is gone, The Orlando t-mac will never return. He will never be a 30 ppg scorer, he will never be a freakish physical specimen on the court that we were used to seeing in his prime.
talking about prime, guy is only 28 years old, man it sucks just thinking about this whole thing he is such a talent, but something is pushing him back faster than anyone else
where have u been? does he have a back problem? where is the back located? the middle of his DAMN body. u dont think that has any effects physically? when tmac was relatively healthy in orlando (when he still had some back problems), dude was even more efficient than what kobe is dong right now offensively and doing the allaround things lebron did. right now, tmac is not as explosive as before. but kobe is not either. but kobe worked on his J. tmac has to do that. if he gets that, he'll be back to scoring 28-30ppg pretty easily, add along his new understanding of the game and making his teammates better => u see the best all around tmac.
If Mac can get a consistent jump show, primarily one that is similar to Rip Hamilton where he can catch the ball after moving and knock down a j, then he will be an MVP under Adelman imo.
that's all it is. did MJ drive repeatedly when he came back from his FIRST retirement? and if u watch the lakers like i do, kobe is 60-70% a jumpshooter now. a jumper goes a long way. we all know tmac can still take it to the hole anytime he wants to (we might complain about his finishing sometimes though). but that jumper is HUUUUUUGE. let's see how his J works next yr and how consistent it is.
^ what did tmac avg after his first month and a half? 27? i think and he didnt have a consistent jumper. what makes u think he can't avg 28-30ppg?
Guys I really don't understand that thread. You al hate T-Mac I know tha for you superstar is only Yao Ming but be serious! That is the meaning of that thread? I remember. T-Mac had bad game that were always a lot of threads like "Trade T-Mac" or something like that. But when he played great and Rockets won everybody says: Tracy is the best, he's a real superstar etc. I hate that comments and threads. In my opinion 70% of this forum hates Tracy. But I hate that threads o lot and they're just killing me. BE SERIOUS! IS T-MAC DONE? Yes he is we should Trade him for Oden. NO QUESTIONS! LOL
Let's make a thread is Yao done? How abiut that. I know the answer. Yao is good but T-Mac sucks and we have to trade him...
Is depends what "best years" mean for you? It can mean that T-Mac scores 30 PPG and his team lose and it can mean he is all around player, scorer playmaker and his team win 50+ games. If you look at the firts of course his best years are behind him but when you look at the second... A lot of NBA's commentators sayd that T-Mac had probably his best season of the season. His games just changed. He understands that the main thing is the team not individual stats. He's just clever. When you look at his last season he can easily score probably 27 PPG and he can have 7+asist. Even George Karl said he wants Melo to play like T-Mac...
Everybody keep blaming our role players for the lost and not Tmac. What lebron did last night is what I expected of Tmac. Remember the "It's on me". Instead taking over the game he went into the deferring mode. When it was time to rise up in the defining moments he shied away from it. Sure he had 29pts and 13 assists, but what did he do in crunch time. That's where you make your name.
