Okay yeah I probably can't go around contradicting every single one of your posts (although I'd sure like to), but uh, hasn't he been playing hard since the Philadelphia game? We're magnifying his in and outs because we just had 3 b2bs in a row. He's been good the Thunder game too. The effort is there. It seems like he's coming back, the knee's doing better, we're winning three in a row, I don't see why the team will turn on McGrady NOW, rather than before. Artest is who worries me, with the stress reaction in his foot and chemistry threat.
DD - You are starting to believe your own BS. You turn speculation into fact quicker than anyone I know lol. I understand you are frustrated we arent dominating the western conference, but: a.) This team is still a contender when everyone is healthy. b.) We are in a better position this year than last year c.) We havent even seen what this team is cabale of. My favorite thing about talking McGrady is how he is killing the TEAM, but when it's about getting out the first round it only seems to be McGrady who hasnt done that. Bottom line is, he has carried us, was phenominal in the playoffs and the team let him down. His playoff numbers are off the chart, which is exactly what you need to be successful in the post season...a guy who can carry you. You trade Mac and I cant even begin to fathom how bad we get crushed in the playoffs, UNLESS you get a playmaker in return.
Maybe they are just trying to fly under the radar to snatch the Lakers in the 1st round. To them they must think it's either 1 or done when facing the Lakers.
Yeah, let's..here is a list of all those people making up stuff about Tmac. 1. Adelman - Need more effort Mac 2. Morey - Come on Tmac please play hard 3. Rafer - Tmac needs to bring it 4. Artest - Sometimes Tmac coasts 5. Blinebury - TMac sucks 6. Bucher - Tmac is a loser 7. NY Post - Tmac is bad mouthing Yao - needs more shots 8. His teamates - LOL at Tmac, is he playing tonight 9. Feigen - Tmac says nothing is wrong, he is just not happy with how he is playing. I am not making this stuff up, I am just following what is being said with my eyes wide open. DD
Half of those sources are jokes. The NY Post? Blinebury? The "anonymous" quote? You're just looking for reasons to blame Tracy at this point. He is under performing, but there's no way he should be traded for this pile of crap.
I've always been a T-backnee hater..... though this year my hate has reached a new level, I'm giving up on the Rockets until they get rid of him. I can't watch games while he is playing, he's so much like his cousin VinceCraper its not even funny, sad thing is VC is actually playing like a superstar compared to t-backnee.
Come on DD, I expected better of you than this.... I get your point, I know you hate T-Mac, because in your opinion he gave up (for what ever reason).... But the constant bashing and b****in over him is getting sad... I don't like Rafer... Can't stand his game, but i'm not going to post on every thread how much he sucks... I expect this from others who (like AntiSonic), but I expect better from you..
I do recall Morey not even wanting Adelman in the first place, as he was trying to convince Les to sign JVG to the extension. It was Les' call along.
morey is wondering, "where this fantastic offense you're telling us about?" we faced the knicks last night, one of the worst defensive teams in the L, and we looked terrible to beyond awful for long stretches offensively before our defense shut down the knicks.
I believe that's the case. I don't understand why so many people suddenly got upset about this, not some new stuff actually.
Yea, the dude is gimpy and can't give it his all. I forgive him, because I remember how hard he busted his ass in the playoffs, as long as he is ready to go for this years playoffs. Yes it was at it's worst during the three game losing streak, but those games were also surrounded by a couple triple doubles and a 26 point night, which people seem to conveiniently forget. This is called the media, the media functions as an entity who is rewarded when more people are interested in the things that they write. Often the media will pick up on a hot topic, such as the so called drama on the Rockets and re-write it as if it is some sort of soap opera. Some people confuse the media as an unbiased information source, which is usually not the case. You have this idea in your head that Tmac is the reason why the team is struggling and that sending him away will magically solve the team's issues. which is just not true.
Rafer, Artest, and his teammates are frustrated at his knee. All those quotes are about him getting back onto the court and being the T-Mac(at least mostly) of the past couple of seasons. Throw in one comment said in jest about a tough situation and Blindbury makes a blog about it. I thought the Adelman/Morey situation was dealth with. They had a meeting and thats that.
