Dude you already know thats how it is for Tracy around here, he can't win no matter what with some of these people on here.
i think for this case, it's b/c we lost the pacers game without him. and people now expect more losses b/c we're playing the spurs and denver, 2 very good teams. had we won, i think fans would be more tolerant of this news knowing we "can" play without tracy. but we can't. nobody likes losing.
We have a guy named Yao and one named Ron Artest. They aren't bad. I think its time we stop living and dying by Tmac. Sure its hard to take now but this might be good for us and our chemistry without Tmac to work out kinks in the offense-without Tmac.
I don't get some fans. During the off season, They say it's okay if TMac misses a few games early on as long as he gets healthy. When he acctually does, he's a b****. We are all upset (even AntiSonic) but this team needs to learn how to score without T-Mac. Rick's offense can't work with this team dependent on one scorer.
I am glad he's giving the team a bit more of a heads up than game by game. I actually think we'll be fine tonight: if we could ever get our consistency and fourth quarter play hammered out, we can beat anyone besides Boston or LA with two of our stars out there. So come on team, it's time to hammer out your consistency and fourth quarter play. You always seem to be playing with leads; now learn how to sustain them.
I am okay with that. I mean, if he can't play well than sit, and rest it. I know we have two TOUGH games comming up but we have Artest, Yao. We CAN, really can beat those Spurs and Nuggets. Good idea to visit different doctor. See what he says, do what is the best for the knee. It is better for him and the team to sit Tracy NOW. Hopefully he will play after those back to back games.
Its just that, childish. Criticizing him is one thing, but to get angry and start calling him a p***y, coward, b****, ect. is just ridiculous. People really take whatever T-Mac does personally. Like he went up to them and spat and their face just to do it. Its funny because not one of these people played pro ball in their lives but they take cheap shots at someone like they know what they are talking about. Its a freaking basketball game. Yall act like your life depends on what T-Mac does on the court. So typical of Houston fans. They ride the bandwagon, but when you are doing bad, they kick you when you are down. See you chumps in June when T-Mac, Yao and the rest of the guys are holding up that championship title.
I thought he needed to play to strengthen his knee... There is a problem,... ...T-Mac is a baby. or ...our doctors aren't getting their job done. (Note that Keith Jones was the trainer for the USA team)
sighs don't worry guys.....we've dealt this more than enough to know what it feels like. it's a normal feeling by now.
Doctors "Tracy, you need to play to strengthen your knee" Tmac "But my boo boo hurts" Coaches "Ugh, can we get TinMan McGrady to see the Wizard of Oz?" DD
For real man. LOL smh fan reaction here doesn't surprise me anymore. These are the same fans who spewed bitterman vitriol because KG showed a little emotion when he won the 'chip. I guess Battier must be a pu**y for sitting out 15 games for a sore ankle. Awwww poor widdle Shane with the ankle boo boo. And what about Franchise? He's played in what, 10 games the past two years? Man up Franchise! Just rub some dirt on it and play, you wuss!! Oh, wha?? A torn patellar something or other wha? Ummm errr, just walk it off like a man, you crybaby!!!1!!!!11!1
Yeah seriously. Then they all had to b**** about "oh he's not doing any good being listed day-to-day". People can get so ****ing bipolar on this site. You wanted him to let you know for sure if he's playing or not and he did. He told you he's not playing these next two games. Now you all who wanted him to sit want him out there limping to prove he's not a b****? He did that for the beginning of the season until Battier came back. Get off his nuts and watch the team without him then. Or his vagina. Whatever you brainiacs can come up with.
to everyone here the best thing for tracy is to sit out and let the knee get well......people didn't say anything about battier letting his ankle get well.
Agreed with everything you just said. I don't mind people criticizing him either but the childish nicknames are lame. I guess T-mac has slept with one of their relatives with the way they act about him on this board.
I know that doctors have messed up surgeries before. I didn't know all doctors were perfect. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
