    Prince was in. And while the 2nd unit played well, you should have T-Mac to calm the offense down in the 4th IMO

    I know you're not comparing MJ and Tmac here, but cmon man a 6 time champion said that, Tmac hasn't even made it out of the first round.

    hmmm. So what do McGrady and the Pistons have to do for you to respect them. Win every game from here on out and sweep everyone in the playoffs? Haha, you're unreal.

    If you think Tracy sucks so much, then why do you have such unusually high expectations for him? :confused:

    Dodging the question, and throwing a red herring. NICE. You can't even spark back decent rhetoric, you're just here to re-emerge whenever Tracy has a bad game. When he has a good game, you're usually nowhere to be found. :confused:

    What are you even trying to prove. Do you think you're clever? You're not. You really aren't. Maybe you could be if you didn't try so hard. At this point it's just annoying. Your arguments have little basis, considering nobody here is chalking him out to be an all-star or the MVP (don't group me in with the casual Tracy worshippers). Every sensible fan here is trying to see how Tracy, the most talented albeit unhealthiest player to play for the Rockets in the past decade is doing.

    Fans were driven to Houston to watch Tracy and Yao play. Last time I checked, we didn't get exposure to national media for having Rafer Alston, or Shane Battier, or Chuck, etc. Those players are great (well, not Alston) in their own right; but Tracy and Yao is what we call STAR POWER in the NBA. Not surprising to see that with both of them gone the team is struggling.

    You might argue that you don't like Tracy as a person, I don't care. That's your preference. But to be so disillusioned to ignore that Tracy was an outstanding athlete is just stupid.

    Look at posts from the first few pages of this thread. They've gone from thinking (hoping) he was finished and soon retired to what you see now.

    The bar of expectations certainly has risen. :grin:

    I didn't even mention Tracy's game today.

    You've lost it dude.

    All I said is the Pistons won't win in a playoff series if they made it there.
    But feel free to make theories on why I posted this or that or when I post etc.

    Entertain me.

    Oh, but you can't deny that you have before. The point remains; you're dodging all my questions. Disappointing Tinman, I expected more from a 99er; because judging from your shallow perspective, you're a god.

    you took a quote from a response to RTM and attempted to change the topic to 'why tinman thinks this way about tracy mcgrady'

    You are trying to turn this thread into a thread about me.

    It's not, it's about Tmac and it's about the Pistons.

    you are nowhere close to RTM , but you are ahead of some others.

    If Tmac worship was like Scientology, then RTM is Tom Cruise.
    You would be the guy trying to sell me those books.

    Official McGrady/Pistons 2010 Regular Season Thread.
    If you want to get technical, then you should keep this thread only about Tracy in the 2010-2011 regular season. You're trying to turn this thread into a 'why Tracy sucks, here are some stats and analysis from past year, and here is why he pales in comparison to Hakeem'.

    Nobody is stupid enough to argue that Tracy is a better player than Hakeem. Nobody is ignoring his douchebaggery to the fanbase and the organization in Houston a few years ago. Nobody cares. AND THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. Everyone has moved on. Everyone has moved on from the Tracy and Hakeem of old. Stop grasping onto the glory days. MOVE ON. Hakeem was the greatest Rocket of all time. We get it, we all know, we all loved him too you know...

    But I certainly don't want the Rockets' legacy to stop there. It'd be embarrassing twenty, thirty years down the road when all we have to reminisce on are championships from a past we hardly remember. But I digress...

    Keywords: Move on. Don't get stuck in the past. Embrace the future.
    (That sounds like technologist/futurist propaganda, but you get my drift).

    So talking about the playoffs is not the future?
    :confused:

    dude, I understand you want my attention, but you are basically wanting me to bring back all the stuff I already said and not focus on what I just said.

    you are stuck in the past on my posts, try concentrating on the newer ones.

    could be a good thread, but this ****'s r****ded up. i expected it at the start of the season.

    never bothered clicking on this thread because it's about t-mac. I heard Joe Blank say that t-mac has been playing well recently

    But reading the last few pages, pretty much what i expected.

    this entire page you are talking about me dude. give it a rest, there are other posters here who favor or criticize tmac.

    you're missing all the fun by just asking the same questions that you know the answers to.

    this one by KingCheetah was great

    I don't, I'm just giving an opinion on them. It's not like i'm going to buy a ticket to the game or get a Rip Hamilton bobblehead.

    I don't care about the Bobcats but I can say that had a good game .
