Who said Yao was an elite? Yao never said he was and neither did I. I'm a Yao fan but I'll also be the first to say that he is one of the best centers in the league but not an elite he might not ever be an elite. I got love for Yao but I'm not in love with him like you are for Tracy.
Forecast for next season: Rockets start surprisingly well. Though uneven, they maintain a record good enough for one of the final spots in the Western Conference playoffs. Then T-Slack comes back from injury. The Rockets drop in offensive and defensive efficiency even though TSlack "gets his" 20 ppg and 5 apg. The Rockets fall a few games out of the playoffs and end the season there. Arguments erupt on Cluthfans between TSlack-Only-Fans and the rest of the board. T-Slack-Only-Fans point to his one triple double and his ppg and apg. The Rockets fans point to the teams losing record with TSlack and his horrible efficiency. Meanwhile, Yao is looking to be released to a team that isn't dominated by T-egos.
unfortunately for you, it won't. some on here will be sad/angry/frustrated to see tracy coming back next year.
Your in love with Yao but your bashing McGrady in a McGrady thread. Hmmm it says it all. I guess the YOF need something to talk about since their hero is gone which is a big loss for the Rockets. Maybe the Garm will be Normal again.
I just notcied the rockets play at miami feb. 9... Which is my birthday...and the only hpuston game i go is when they play miami.. I hope he's back as well as yao and get the win. 40 point night from Tmac would be nice On a count that last year he blew the dunk and we got blown out by the bucks
You want me to make sense ok I'll try here we go... Your upset that Yao is injured and out for the season. Hell im upset too. With Yao not able to play this Year The YOF got smacked in the face because Karma is a ******. Last Year McGrady wasn't able to play and Yao did Now McGrady will be playing (hopefully) and Yao won't until Next year unless he pulls a Willis Reed and comes back this year which i doubt. Your upset which leads you to say something crazy out your mouth like McGrady was NEVER an elite player. Then you gave out ridiculous examples. Well I guess Patrick Ewing wasn't an Elite Player. He never won a ring. John Stockton and Karl Malone weren't elite players either huh. McGrady was an elite player but it just so happened that injuries happened buddy. Grant Hill was the elite of all elite players but that damn ankle injury happened. He was a fool also for trying to come back to early anyway. I would consider Yao an Elite center but I guess in your words he isn't. Just because you happened to be cursed with bad luck doesn't mean your not an elite player. Im sure there are other players that played the game and are playing that are elite players but aren't blessed with winning it all.
What grade are you in? You just said, Yao is one of the best centers in basketball, but he is not an elite. You are contradicting yourself! Damn Clutch, you have to enforce an age limit!!!
U R RETADDDERDED Yao is an ELITE center and Tmac was also. in 03 Tmac/Kobe was above all other players in talent Yao for the last few years was Thee Best C in the league. who was better? Dwight? Shaq? nope Putting them on that ELITE status. right!?
I have a vibe in my stomach that T-Mac will truly be huge this year..I mean a jersey change, time to reflect/watch how the team played without him, his well renowned trainer, and playing in a contract season should be just enough for Tracy to turn his career around. Watch out NBA i think he'll average around 25 PPG this season!!!
“I can take it from anybody, from everybody. I know my ability. And when I do get right, all that … is put to rest. So kick me when I’m down, because I swear to you, I’ll be back up. And when I get back up, I’m going to sit back, and I’m going to laugh, man, because I’m going to have the last laugh." Tmac is going to make it back healthy mid season, and will lead us into another first round exit
I don't know but I'd much rather have our guys running Adelman's offense from start to finish rather than have Tracy come in later and start "facilitating" everything for everyone so that he can try and earn a contract somewhere. I just feel that if/when he comes back, that his way of playing ball will stunt the growth of the guys that'll be here after he's long gone.
