T-Mac played a nice game in the first half, but in the 2nd half he tried too hard to get teamates involved. When they went down by 10+ they should have ditched the PNR and let T-Mac freestyle it off of iso's.
Good post. Without Yao we are small and the teams with aggressive bigs will kill us. Plus...we're only playing the best team in the NBA... The only team we can beat in the playoffs is the Warriors. Maybe the Jazz. If the Nuggets make it, maybe them. Every other team will double/triple T-Mac, clog the paint, and kill us with size. So hope for a good matchup! I wish we had Yao.
Tracy will always have shameless critics and shameless defenders no matter how he plays. He just doesn't bring out the objective in people.
Our problem is that with this lineup we can't match up against certain teams and Boston is one of that team.
Same with Kobe, don't you think? There are people who will straight hate on other guys to defend Kobe. And then there are people who will jump right into the rape case among other things to hate on him. People were waiting for a reason to jump on T-Mac. Oh well.
Tmac is no MVP, sorry. When he plays more like CP3, Lebron, or even KOBE, then maybe. The rockets playing great team ball was the main reason why tmac was even mention in the MVP voting. Beyond that the MVP should be 1. CP3 2. Kobe 3. Lebron . . . . . .. Mcfading
You really need to try harder. It's great that we can pinpoint who the real Rockets fans are so easily.
So in order to be a rockets fan, I need to praise tmac with my every breath? You make no sense. The rockets are the rockets. Tmac is tmac. Its not the Houston Mcgrady. I am fine with being a fan. The rockets are my favorite team in the league ever since the Hakeem and Sampson days. I have no problem with pointing the truth out though.
McHeartless apologists are quick to try to discredit and silence his critics. I guess it helps them sleep better after first round exits. Go Rockets!
You need to GET OFF HIS BACK after ONE bad game (tonight he was better than ANYONE ELSE on the court in a Rockets uniform). When you call players McHeartless or T-Back it's BLATANTLY obvious you are a troll. GTFO the Houston Rockets board.
The difference between me and you is that I never trash Yao. I never call out any of our players after a bad game; I believe that they can succeed and they'll recover. You just enjoy trashing McGrady because you don't like him as a player. It's sad to see - but there are way too many people like you on this board.
Its not about silencing the criticism. Its childish nicknames and gloating with glee after a Rockets loss. Theres constructive criticism and then theres HAHA MCLADY SUXS.
Tmac had the passion of a $2 hooker tonight. We all did. I mean, we're entering the fourth and we look so flat and beyond unmotivated, wasn't this the team that saw 13 points in 35 seconds (true, most of the parts are gone now, but realistically Tmac did all the work). When did that die? I remember a time that it wasn't over till there was no time left on the clock. True, I think the officials screwed us over very hard tonight, but we just sat their and took it. That is unacceptable. Oh well, NO is where we start over.
Find a player on this team who has done more for the Rockets in the playoffs in the last decade. McGrady has consistently been the best playoff performer on this team - and it really isn't close. I find it ironic that you can bash a Rockets player then say "Go Rockets!" afterwards. You realize every team he's lost to post Toronto (i'm not sure about the Knicks in TDot) has gone on to the conference finals or the NBA finals. He's taken every single one of them to a deciding game. He has some of the most historic playoff numbers all time, yet you decide to trash his playoff performances. Find a new tact please.
So we should trade Tmac and then play the team we trade him to in the playoffs? I need some humor to get me through this. LOL.
I thought they doubled Tmac at the top of the key and forced him to passed the ball. That sort of exposed the Rockets lack of scoring when Rafer isnt hot. We really miss Landry inside. Mike Harris just cant finish like Carl.
