He shouldn't even be playing out on the perimeter with one leg.... At this point he can't even get by Vlad Radmanovic. At least from the post, he can utilize his first step and versatility to create. Why doesn't implement Tmac initiate the offense like Webber used to do in Sactown? He has the height, midrange game and most importantly the passing ability to get it done.... It would be better than the garbage we've been running the last 10 games...
Have you ever watch games, last year it was yao did good job leading team won without T-mac, T-mac thought it was too early to give up, then showed up.
When Yao comes back, let TMac sit for a week or two. Then Artest can take a break. Battier will be back by then. Then Yao can take a week or two. Reconvene after the All-Star break for the uber-putsch...
my fist time posting on here. tonight no shots were falling just an unlucky game but at times in the game we showed no energy at all. t mac cant be blamed for this loss at ALL (.....dude is really slow on defense tho and yes i am a tmac fan so ine hatin i really hope the knee improves with time) no one really is to blame. but damn artest missed some important layups. aron brooks hit some key shots and also wafer ( i think he needs more playing time). BRENT BARRY NEEDS TO RIDE THE BENCH LIKE DORSEY UNTILL HE CAN HIT AGAIN ILL RATHER SEE LUTHER ON THE COURT JACKIN UP THOSE THREES. Jason teryy beat the rockets tonight and the unlucky misses...oh well lets get yoa back we missed him tonight.
Tracy needs to reinvent himself as a forward. He was money down low. The reason most of us dog him is because he's 6'8" and has attacked the basket less than Damon Stoudamire. He add effective years to his career if he started milking his height advantage... but we've been saying that for years.
Ours shots just werent going in, we were 2-17 in the 3rd quarter and still hung around and had a chance to win, if ron could have finished his layups this would have been a different story. For all the people,complaining and jumping off bandwagon this early in this season should'nt even been a rockets fan. Yall must me new fans cause yall wouldn't have survived the post olajuwon-pre yao era.Let this team *****ing gel, they were getting stomped last yr, until there 22 game win streak, then all of sudden Rocket fans came out of the woodwork, and much more when artest came on. Have faith in the damn Rockets, once Deke and shane get in the mix, we gonna be allright. Deke would've been nice to have tonight. Stay Positive
also, when are we gonna get a true back-up center?? where is deke?? do we not have any room for him or what cuz he would be a big help too
Tmac will most likely never regain all of his athletism that he had in 00-06. At best he'll get back to 70% to what he was (which would still be around the avg for the league). You're totally right in that he would add years to his effectiveness as a player. He'll be much more effective averaging 18 and 8 from the high post rather than the 20 and 5 while shooting ~40%.
this is no longer valid.. we've won enough(relative to the 12 we've played tsu far) games this season without Tracy.. to expose this argument as null and void this season.. also.. out of the two games Alston's missed.. the one we did win.. was against a full healthy NO squad.. with the best PG in the game..
totally agree, he looked great at the post. i'd rather see an efficient t-mac than a high scoring low percentage t-mac
But I think he's afraid of the physical contact and further injury. this is the key reason he is making so many shots outside.
We are still in 1st place guys, New Orleans got even more embarrassed than we did tonight, lost to the Kings.
