    There's not much to take out of context when someone says "It won't end tonight". It was a dumb thing to say.

    "We won't lose tonight. That's not a guarantee. I'm just saying that it's impossible for us to lose to Atlanta. Don't take that out of context. I'm just saying it will be a cold day in Hell before the Hawks beat us. Don't quote me on that."

    The spirit of this post and what T-mac has said and what the media is writing is why we're struggling in Atlanta...

    C'mon now...it's in the middle of the game & it is not looking good...

    Let's learn not from the game...but the pre-game approach...

    year-after-year...it's mental, emotional, & what you say w/ your mouth

    I hope that after tonights performance, TMAC learns to shut his pie hole (whether he claims its a guarantee or not) and just lets his actions on the court do the talking for him. He got it going at the end tonight but the first 3 1/2 quarters sucked.

    even if you want to say he sucked then it was only in the first half.

    anyway haters are going to hate because that's what they do. no matter what he does it's just a matter of you all biting your tongue when things are going good and then spewing your crap when it goes bad.

    I guess these guys trashing McGrady for the "guarantee" look foolish now that it was shown he DIDN'T make a guarantee.

    You clearly didn't read what he said, so I'll help you:

    A video of this was posted the other day. He DID NOT guarantee a win. After that quote, he prefaced it with saying "if" they play like they've been playing. He joked that given his past, he's not going to be making any guarantees

    Nothing is a guarantee in this league, I believe that's what he said.



    It was ugly, but he was "right".

    Tough, tough win. I was getting a little restless. You can tell this is the game we missed Landry's athleticism the most.


    Let's go for 21!

    Dude's bipolar. He said we need to be humble, then he breaks his own rule
