    Tmac has things he needs to improve on but you're putting all the blame on him. You forgot who lead this team to a 52 win season last year and you forgot who was the one that stepped up his game the most during the playoffs. Instead of just blamming Tmac solely you need to realized that the other role players needs to be held accountable as well.

    Using Bonzi as an example of anything is bad. The guy can't hit the backside of the barn on most nights and constantly misses layups. He also is our worst free throw shooter probably (Oh wait maybe Hayes is worst)

    Ive been following the Roxs since they drafted Yao so I will still be here if they end up losing in the first round.


    I'm not a doctor and I'm not Tmac so you will have to ask him about his health if you're that curious.

    let me explain somthing real simple when you are the president of the company and your company loses money or goes bankrupt who gets the blame. The highest paid employee (President)

    T-mac is the highest paid player on our team.

    superstar i dont like being a hater but man there is so much he could bring to this team instead the bad shot selection, the johnny drama routine night in and night out. He is an awesome talent i just wish we made the most out of our possesions because i really feel when we play the elite teams out there we are going to get taken out and quickly. In my opion i see him throwing up bad shots and our guys battier/hayes/scola/ and landry picking up the scraps and keeping us in these games.

    how about it's b/c the elite teams have more depth, more scorers, more options...

    dirk nowitzki absolutely SUCKED v. us in 04-05 and his team still won. u really think tmac can play that bad and this team can still win a playoff series?

    those elite teams can win when their main guy is off for a fwe games. tmac can't do that. this yr he is getting more help so we'll see. we're consistently getting 5 guys in double figures now.

    and please, 25 assists regularly the last 8-9 games is not just on putbacks that u think. PLEASE WATCH THE GAMES.

    Cant get assists off putbacks. Cant get assists off drives(unless its a cutting drive a la Bonzi's dunk tonight).

    man i watch every game for one thing, and you believe so much in mcgrady's shut down defense and outstanding 19 million dollar shot selction. For 19 million a year he ought to be able to hit a free throw now & then know? please bud put your glasses on when you watch the game. I see your name is T_mac too. Does the underscore mean your under the weather?

    You watch the games with T-Mac hater glasses on. He is not nearly as bad as you describe, and most of the more neutral positions on T-Mac around here are far more accurate. You see T-Mac get the ball at half court and take a bad 3 point shot. Most here see him make a move to get seperation then take the 3 as an attempt to go 2 for 1 at the end of the quarter.

    T-Mac is averaging the same number of assists at Rafer. Both lead the team in assists.(both were at 5.4 APG last time I looked)

    lebron can't make free throws either. should he get a deduction in his pay?

    tmac does not play consistent defense, so i agree.

    the point is in your argument, you're saying the ball doesn't move, we are winning b/c of putbacks on our hustle players -> u don't watch a lick of rocket basketball since tmac has been back.

    tmac has his faults, but don't make it seem like it's all his fault that we haven't advanced. WE'RE IN THE FREAKIN' WEST.

    if we were in the east, he would have us in the finals already.

    He has been a solid defender. Though slowed lately due to his injury, before the flu he was looking a bit better.

    Durvasa actually the question should be who would you rather have for 19 million?

    Tmac or Wade
    Tmac or Kobi
    Tmac or Lebron

    what about Ginobolli, nash, josh howard, dwight howard, boozer........all of these guys play defense toooooo!

    We pay him max dollars so you could go on and on with other players.

    You're just full of hate for Tmac for silly reasons. I'm not even going to bother arguing.

    wade's team is in the last place of the freakin' EAST. he has SOME talent to work with, more than tmac ever had when he was in orlando.

    nobody argued with you that kobe or lebron are better than tmac. no argument.

    nash plays defense? lay down the damn pipe. boozer plays defense? lay down the damn crack.

    the other 3 guys do play defense.

    I hope your right bro, i just think were pissing in the wind again. I like Morey and believe he will make good decision in the off season. If we go out in the 1st round what would you do with the team?

    This might be the most pathetic thing I've ever seen posted on this board, and boy have I seen a lot. I mean ... wow.

    Hope you remember to change those panties tomorrow morning.
