    NAHH i've been a tmac defender since i know he's got talent but we've been in penalty forever and he hasn't done nothing but take pansy shots to get the ties.....I DEFEND HIM NO MORE....TRADE HIS ACE. I'm thru going thru restless nights losing in games we should have won because his lack have BALLZ to take it to the rim when we're on a run.

    I WOULD RATHER HAVE A FAT STEVE FRANCIS THAT HAS SOME BALLS be the goto guy.

    I wonder if Adleman has enough balls to bench him. Besides being a great passer, he's pretty much a liability at everything else.

    Fatigue is no longer an excuse. If he was this bad today, he's gonna be garbage tomorrow. I hope I eat my words.

    Kill himself because "bushbush1988" thinks he is a bad basketball player? Now that would just be sad...

    Remember his last year in Orlando, if you are a fan like me who watched him play back then, you will see that the similarities is striking.

    say what you like but the franchise is still an nba player and if he plays all out it'll still be less stress watching him play than a talented pansy that plays when he feels like it.

    Yo don't take me as a hater i've been a fan since he's been in houston but if you had a son that constantly failed to meet your expectations even though you know he could be great...thats the feeling you're getting here, but this one is getting paid 21mill a yr.

    Defend away!

    He averaged close to 30 that year,this team is contending for the playoffs, that team was last in the whole league so I don't see any similarities.

    T-Mac does need to sit.

    He's still hurt and he doesn't bring energy into the game.

    This was another big game and he didn't bring it. Can RA do anything to fire him up or make him sit and get better? This is really annoying.

    I am not talking about stats, I am talking about the attitude.

    He has to make up his mind, HAS TO do that after this game.

    1) Sit. Rest and rehab until you are really READY.

    2) Play but play well, like you are supposed to. Attack the basket, and put points on the board. If you can;t do that, please SIT

    I don't see it. He's hurting/weak or w/e and he has a laidback personality which never displays emotion even when he is playing great. The combination of him hurting and his personality makes it seem like he doesn't care. This team has a chance to be very good so I doubt he doesn't care or has quit.

    T-mac had a bad game, but he isn't the reason we lost. He wasn't even the worst player on the floor tonight, BY FAR. You gotta go to Alston and his 1-10 night, or Battier being 2-6 missing 4 wide open 3s. Scola was 3-9, which isn't horrible, but he averages 50% and he made a couple of bad plays. Tmac went to the basket and got 9 free throws and created open shots for other players, leading the team with 4 assists.

    I'm not trying to act like he had this great game, but we can't place sole blame for the loss on Tmac.

    I'm with the crew in that Tmac has been playing like crap recently, but we need a 20ppg Tmac to have a shot at a title. Trading him means we will be rebuilding. So while he's been playing horrible, we gotta stick through it.

    When Bill Worrell and Matt Bullard start saying that Adelman needs to bench TMac to get his attention, you know his play is worse that bad. Honestly, would we have been worse off playing Wafer?

    look tmac is going to be the same all year which is a jump shooter that is not consistent he has become another role player. the limp isnt there anymore but even in the preseason he said he STOP lifting weights. that didnt sit well with me how do you expect him to get better if hes getting weaker

    He needs to sit down. We need energy on the court even if we come up short. He is hurting,he has no lift on his jumper at all.

    He needs to sit out for 2 weeks or so. Start Wafer in his place

    :mad: :mad: (.......)

    If he sits out, he will have the same problems at his comeback ยก!.

    He's out of form and without confidence, the only way to improve that is playing and playing games (bad or horrible games included) with continuity, not to sit out again.
