He would have had a point.....but then he threw Kobe in there, he has the worst shot selection in the NBA. He lost all credibility right there, no matter how great of a player was.
Exactly. Mcgrady wasn't doubled once during game 2. It was single effing coverage! he had to keep looking for his shot. the Jazz chose to single cover Tmac all game because they know he is more dangerous when playmaking and setting his teammates up. So Tmac has to keep trying to make 'em pay. That ol geez Oscar better recognize.
T-mac did take some bad shots......why is it so hard to admit it? That doesn't mean he is not a great player.....just that big O thinks Tmac should/could have better shot selections.
Kobe's shot selection isn't that bad.....check out his FG%, If he can make them, then they are not bad shots. Same goes with Tmac, his shots just aren't falling.
You don't publicly criticize a player in the playoffs.... unless you think he can do better... Oscar probably has seen or knows Tmac can take it to the basket virtually anytime he pleases.... and somthing good usually will come of it if he does.... he singles out Tmac because he thinks this team and Tmac can play better than they have been.... just because Tmac has been playing good... shouldnt mean we dont want him to play even better... bottom line is if this team wants to advance far in the playoffs.... Tmac needs to play smarter... for example game 1 when we had a 10 point lead with 1:30 left to go... Tmac needed to milk the clock a little if he was going to take that offbalance shot....
T-Mac does jack up alot of shot. Some shot you probably cried out loud and said "Don't do it" but it hit the bottom of the net. That just the way T-Mac is playing. But he is the master when it comes to delivery the ball to person at the right time at the right spot. His passing is right on the money. He just has to learn to control his rythm that way the shot could be more accurate. I expect game 3 he will come out smoking because he hasn't doen that for a while.
I have heard him on alot of shows lately he may be great, but he knows as much about ball players as I know about rocket science. He likes to watch Kobe Bean Bryant, but thinks T-Mac, probably one of the most unselfish and best passing superstars in the game shoots to much. This is slightly of the subject but has anyone else noticed Kobe has a one track mind he can either pass or he can shoot rarly does he have a 30pt 7ast game?
dropping knowledge on them foolz![/QUOTE] Sishir Chang Umm... T-Mac's got a long way to go before he matches Oscar Robertson. And keep in mind he was playing at at time with no 3 point line where they allowed much more physical play, a higher concentration of talent, and assists were harder to get. i have to admit that i never saw oscar robertson played cause i wasn't even born then. ok t-mac took some bad shots but he took it to the basket multiple times,getting several layups and many free throws.first of all his shots are just not falling but the guy cannot drive all the time he has to mixed it up.sure he took too many 3's and missed them .he took some bad shots but i mean kobe?are you kidding me?big o may be the greatest all round player butwhat i can see by the statistics is that he won only one nba title and only when he wasn't the man anymore.again he may have been a great player but not a great winner.if bird called t-mac out.if jordan called t-mac out,i would have to respect their opinion but not someone who could not lead their team to a championship.but everyone now is taking a shot at t-mac and they are right to do so because he never won a series but if he brings the championship this year to houston you should all stfu including the big O.
Robertson's an idiot. Most SGs are streak shooters. Why didn't he mention Kobe's crappy ass 1-12 FG performance in the second half of game 1 against the Suns? T-Mac is more valuable to his team than most SGs in this league are to theirs, as T-Mac has superior playmaking abilities.
I would also like to add on Cold Pizza last week he did not even know who Brandon Roy was so obviously he know nothing other than the names of a few greats.

When Big O balled the game was played at a whole diffrent pace that almost makes the Suns look slow. They got up and down. There were about 20 more possesions per game which is the only reason for his great assist and rebound numbers. Field goal% was also much lower which led to more rebounds and more breaks. Saying that assist were harder to come by is just ignorant!
This is great Somebody should let Tracy know of what Oscar said It will be great for him to hear it and it can serve 2 purposes: 1)He can take the words to heart and be more efficient 2)Extra motivation While I agree with most of what Oscar said, Oscar did not have the range Tracy has. Tracy is a very unique player. His combination of handle and range is unprecendented.
