I'm not exactly sure if Wade is an example you would want to draw comparisons to. Fact is there is no one to yell at by Wade, because he's almost always the one with the ball. Its not like if he makes a bad decision he's going to slap himself for it. And no, t-mac is not a good leader. If you can find me an example where he actually took his team to another level throughout all his years in the NBA, I would be glad to be corrected. But from what I recall, T-mac has never led his team past the first round, he was part of one of the longest losing streaks ever in the Magic franchise, and he quit on his team in Orlando. Now if that exemplifies what it takes to be a good leader, then I have nothing to say.
If T-Mac goes off on the next opponent, someone spoke to him. If not, we might have to worry a wee bit...maybe more than a wee bit. Got plenty of time off to rest and get that broke back some rest.
If you are really a Tmac fan you should criticize Tmac in the first time. Critics don't like you a less Tmac fan or less supportive. This loss was clearly not Yao's fault. Not his late 4th quarter miss or his FT. Hayes was the other guy who could not be blamed for the defeat. Tmac, the other superstar, should take most of the blame. A fan with a little bit of commom sense could see that. And instead you nippick Yao's rebound and FT after he got 16 and made 15 FT. How about Tmac showed a little bit effort and made it to 11-24 and we could have won the game? How about took over as a leader when Yao sit on the bench, instead of letting Jzs go 7-0 and forcing Yao to come back in less than 2 mins? Or draw a couple of fouls and actually made some FT instead of 0-2? How about shut the F up with "this is all about a statement" crap and play a damn good game?
He is a YOH who posts an article after every rox game, you can basically divide the stuff he writes into 4 categories: 1. YAO did well, ROX won--YAO has nothing to do with the win, his teammates did everything 2. YAO did well, ROX lost-- YAO sucked, cannot help his team. 3. YAO did not do well, ROX won--YAO sucked, he's useless, rox can win without him 4. YAO did not do well, ROX lost-- YAO sucked, he makes his team even worse, blame the lost all on him. He's even come up with some bullsxxt when YAO got injured and not played. Need I say more.
Losing a pivotal game could get everybody being angry. So was Tmac, I believe. Never mind and Go ahead!
Oh if yao dosent show any-emotion, he is a big softie, if our big lion show's any kind of reaction after tracy's blunder, he is a big meanie. . seriousely. I think it's a great sign. Shows leadership and emotion. big fella cares. tracy would be the first one to appreciate that.
HECKS YA !!!!!!! I love how Yao Ming is developing into a killer out there......we need more of it. Tmac can't lead anyone, he is a great talent but a horrid leader.....let's let Yao lead...... BRING on the year of the YAO ! DD
This thread has devolved into one of about 10,000 other non-productive threads on this topic. It's really easy to get guys. The Rox need Yao and T-Mac playing a top form to do anything meaningful in the playoffs. Don't kid yourself, they know this better than anyone. These guys should be emotional and get on each other every now and then. they need to hold themselves collectively resposnible for the Rox's success and failures. They are the leaders.
Personally i would be more disspointed if yao had kept quiet. the likes of jordan, shaq, Olauwon and co never tolerated losing. the great ones have that will to win. yao is showing the same drive. i say great.
Complaining about Tracy McGrady making a bad decision is like complaining about Michael Jordan missing a shot. It happens, even at the end of a game. It just happens less often to him than to anybody else. I'm not making excuses for the rest of his performance. But that's where the game was lost, not at the end. If you're begging for a 3-pointer to tie on your last possession, you've already done too many things wrong.
hahahaha you guys make me laugh.when t-mac and deke were yelling at each other on the bench,you blame t-mac for that,saying things like a great leader should not do that.t-mac was wrong ,he has to keep his calm,etc .but now that it's yao yelling at t-mac(which i don't believe was the case) ,its all good because yao is showing leadership and he has the right to yell at t-mac?i think that even if deke yell at t-mac or anyone else yelled except rafer ,it would have been fine with you but t-mac should not,who does he think he is.personally i don't think there is no problem with people yelling.yao was upset he has the right to yell at t-mac,t-mac is upset he has rthe right to yell at whoever.what i want to know is how is it right for yao to yell and that t-mac should just shut up and play?
Well t-mac did do too many things wrong up and including the last shot. If he was more aggressive to begin with, we would of never had only an 8 point lead. His reluctance to drive is killing me.
It is so amazing that normally when someone criticizes "TRACY" most of you fools, oh sorry, I mean you true Rocket fans, bash these people for their opinions. I have brought up questions concerning "TRACYS" attitude and overall play for a while. BASH BASH BASH... I sure hope he is more consistent come playoff time. Until then... Thanks for the free laughs.
Your name speaks of your thought, a least at the surface. Anyway, it seems like Tmac complain teammate instead in the conference: "There was miscommunication on a couple of guys' part," McGrady said of the last possession. "They didn't know where to go and they didn't set screens. I couldn't get open and nobody could get open." Well, this is T-Mac and Rafer's fault to lose this game, no execute. But that's ok, admit it and perform better next time. Don't behave like a loser.
Both of them should be driving the team, I have no problem whatsoever if they both step up and discuss what ANYONE on the team needs to do to get better. DD
the point that i'm making is that both have the right to yell,what i don't understand is why t-mac cannot yell and yao can.you should ask that to the other people not me.i don't have any problem with both yelling.jordan did it,wade and payton went at it ,dirk did it,it's ok to do it but hell why this double standard
Completely agree! Actually he blamed himself after match. He is not a man to say "who did something wrong to make us lose" but "I or we did something wrong"
