When he's talking about the players around him, he sounds extremely optimistic which is great. When he's talking about himself, he sounds very subdued. Certainly not like last year.
TMac1, before you start calling people stupid around here I wonder if paying a guy the most money on a team to be a consistent leader, who has time and time again said nothing but excuses makes me stupid for observing or the rockets organization. It really sucks when your idol has failed you and others for 12 years and just like him his fans pull excuses out of their , well you know, and still I get blamed for being stupid and not TMac for not coming through for his team for 12 years. You are not even a homer, you are a blind follower and when Tmac leaves town I hope he takes you with him.
Hey don't call t-mac 1 out like that. He is not a blind homer. He may be a devoted Tmac fan, but he's one of the most reasonable and objective Tmac supporter here-including me. What's stupid is how you think Tmac was being arrogant and deserves to be "humbled," based on what he said about his shoulders. That had nothing to do with arrogance or anything related to it, and last I check, one player can't be responsible for EVERY damn thing. Yes I know its cliche and he's defiintely NOT without blame, but what you said about him was unfair. But atleast you're better than that AntiSonic d33che.
Man, people jumping on t-mac just for telling the truth about his physical state. This is just sad. I mean, people actually want to be lied to in order to feel better? What's next? You don't want to find out if your woman cheats on you because it will make you feel unhappy? We know he is soft. We also know he tells the truth as he sees it. All I care to criticize him for is his actions, not his words.
McGrady apologists bringing up completely unrelated topics after completely misunderstanding a post: par for the course.
According to morey, tracy has been excellent in the camp in the last two days. running freely and is scoring left and right. but offcourse we wont be seeing anything positive about tracy here.
Actually he is a decent poster. Only when it comes to McGrady, he's like he's completely lost his rational faculty.
You know you may be right, I just get tired of the Tracy hate. Everytime I see a thread about Tracy he comes in and do nothing but bash him. It could be a thread about Tracy being a great father he would come in and say something bad about him.
Yao only fan I am not- I don't call myself Yao1, do I? NO. I just think TMac is missing the IT factor that makes guys great, and I think since he's pulling in the most capital, when he doesn't deliver, he should be criticized and moved for players who are fearless that get better through adversity. I look in his eyes and I don't see mental toughness a 100% of the time and I think that about Yao as well...... but Yao is not earning what TMac is, therefore TMac pays the biggest price. I want TMac to be successful for our teams sake and when he admits to being weakened its kind of same ol same ol.
You're absolutely right. I enjoy his posts on other topics, but I just can't fathom his extreme (to put it mildly) dislike for mcgrady.
if you think about it, a lot of our guys don't have that "IT" factor. yao def. doesn't have it. battier for sure doesn't have it. that's why we brought in artest. he may not be as talented as tracy or yao, but he for sure has that "toughness" factor that we lack. but performance-wise in the playoffs, tracy is the only rocket in the past 4 years who has done his part in terms of stepping up consistently. people forget that too often. how often do you see one of your top bench players (head) suck for 2 straight playoffs? bobby jackson shooting 27% and yet he has the 2nd most shots in the playoffs last yr?
