Sorry I just see a trend the last few years. Like when a game is in the balance and every other star on the other teams drive to the basket, get fouled, and shoot freethrows, our guy pulls up for contested jumpers and that cost us a series. But I could be wrong maybe we should count on Rafer are Hayes to pull us through.
yeah, there is another guy who is paid 15 million bucks a year. that guy is supposed to deliver too. let's bash all players when they don't meet your expectations. that is not sick at all.
not ALL his fault, obviously. but as the leader (or supposed leader), he should shoulder (no pun intended) more responsibility. don't just impose your will in a blowout win against bottom feeders. impose it against playoff teams and when the games mattered more like tonight and last. is that too much to ask?
I agree. Some people need to understand that Yao will not be back for playoffs. He won't play this season, it is sad but he can't play the whole season without leg injury. T-Mac has led this team to playoffs. Remember? Nobody said we would even make the playoffs. But we did and we are 5th (for example Suns are 6th). Right now of course Tracy is struggling a little bit. This may be this shoulder. But last two games Rockets looked like they want a break, they have already given up and they are only waiting for playoffs.
Serioulsy its not hard to see any team we play in the playoffs we will far less talent then and you guys know it. Battier is a bench player at best, scola is a starter, tmac is a starter, rafer is a bench player, dike shouldnt be in the nba, mike haris should be in the d-league
i see a trend the last few years also......our star player is hurt and on the bench when we really need him............and he gets a pass.
So just answer these questions for me and we will just leave it at that. 1. Does TMAC play hard every night? 2. Does TMAC play hard the whole game? 3. Does TMAC give all he has on defense? 4. Does TMAC sacrifice his body to score when it counts? 5. Does TMAC deserve 20 million a year? 6. Does TMAC lead his team? 7. Will you honestly answer? You can call me a fake fan if you want. Thats just stupid to me. I dont know how I can be a fake fan posting on s fan sit, but whatever. Call me crazy but I want my superstar to get an answer of yes on all the above and Tmac fails this test miserably.
refs, i hate when we get physical back with the jazz, these a$$es always call fouls on us for it, its horrible be consistent you damn blind bastards, its all anyone can ask
At least he does not fake his injuries. Its like Phil Jackson said in his book," Everyone in the league knows that everytime TMAC is made to run in practice he fakes an injury and pouts." But I guess old Phil just made that up to. Phil and Kobe have both said they would do whatever it took to get Yao in LA. Amazing how know one sends tapes of McGradys Work ethic to other players like the Lakers did with tapes of Yao for Bynum. Bottom Line Yao cant help he gets hurt, but Tracy can help how hard he plays. Thats my argument.
the answer lies within........tmac is not a superstar.....maybe at one time he was, but you are setting yourself up for dissapointment, if you expect him to be........ even superstars need help.....see KG, Kobe, Jordan.
Wow shocking you didnt answer any of my questions. I guess you dont cant impose your will on this argument.
