yea i saw that. i'm not sure if it was intentional or not. i doubt it, he's not known as a dirty player
it's EASY to say that when you're on the sidelines commenting on the game. EVERY player shows that they're hurt if they're hurt and playing hurt. did MJ hide his flu when he played v. the jazz in the finals? NO. he actually looked like he was dying whenever a timeout was taken. when kobe had his own shoulder injury in 03-04, he would grimace every damn game like he was talking to the refs. did he hide it then? NO that's the "great" thing to say. hide your injuries. but please, clyde would do the same thing if he was playing.
*claps hand* Finally someone gets it. Ever heard of the media? You know, the one who gets paid to ask questions? Every player of a sports team is required to answer atleast one media question posed to them, its part of their obligation of being a professional player. I just laugh at some of you guys who can figure out any reason to bash Tmac. He answers questions about himself and says nothing out of line or provocative but somehow it gets blown out of proportion as being neurotic or selfish and whatnot. The funny thing is that if he would've avoided answering those questions and still played, some of you haters will stay lay it on him and say "oh what a jacka**" Seriously, some of the animosity towards the guy is silly and lol funny
Tmac is a whiner. I cant see any of the other stars ever in the game whining every 2 days about this and that. Mr "Mega" star, broke negative records all over of being a loser. Even this season with with the best supporting cast he had in his career, he isnt going past the first round. We have no chance vs ANY of the top 8 teams in the west in a series. TRADE THAT NOOB FFS!
I like Mcgrady and he will lead us. He slows down some games but in playoffs games he will rise to challenge. Be strong T Mac!
Normally I don't agree with player bashing threads, but I couldn't agree more with this one. I WANT to support T-mac, and I still do, but he makes it really hard when he grimaces after every play. It seems like he wants to constantly remind everyone he is hurting, so if he doesn't perform well he has an excuse. Be like Willis Reed, be a man T-mac
Don't cherry pick bits of my posts.....I said, I would run him into the ground and ride it out, but if someone threw a blockbuster at us, then this is what I would do..... Come on now...play fair. DD
Just feel funny that anyone would still suggest building completely around Yao after seeing Yao having severe injuries every single year the past few years.
First of all, playing with the flu is different than playing with any of the minor physical injuries tmac currently has. Secondly, you're trying to defend tmac and his relentless string of nagging injuries by comparing him to what michael jordan did for a few games in his career? Get real man. Btw, even though jordan was a drama queen in that series, he led them to the title.
He would have been fine this year if Adelman hadn't decided to give Mutombo more DNP-CDs than Steve Francis.
T-mac played with the flu during the TNT televised game against the Cavaliers. He checked into the hospital that morning I believe. AntiSonic- He hasn't played over 57 games since T-Mac's first year as a Rocket...it goes beyond what Adelman did (which wasn't much...37MPG is not as heavy a load as most other stars have).
