I'm glad Blindbury isn't the coach because Rick Adelman sees things totally different, being that he's actually there every night with him. Oh and on another note, where was this lonely old disingenuous so called writer when this team was on a 22 game win streak? Some people are just blatantly ignorant haters.
Hey! Don't make fun of Knight, I got my double degree from there, Underwater Basket Weaving and Sexual Studies of the Coeds.
tmac makes waaaay too much money to be making "tired" excuses. go have a sleep fool. day off today after all. come back and get ready to rumble tomorrow. not like Kobe, Kidd, Carter, Nash and the other stars of their team aren't called upon to get it done every night....dont here them complaining.
The question is not about if TMAC is tired, obviously he is and so it the rest of the team and they have played more games this season than him. The problem is that although everyone is tired, they still make an effort e.g. shane, scola, Hayes, even Rafer- and TMAC looks so uncomfortable on the court that it is so painful. He waits until the last second and then throws a rocket pass to someone like scola who then have to launch a last second or hurried shot, and then comes out and claims his teammates are not making shots. If you are a playmaker, then put your teammates in a better position to score, if you are a scorer, then fricking take over the game. If you are tired, then take some games off and get better and healthy for the playoffs. I'd rather have no TMAC than a tired TMAC cos he makes watching Rockets games painful
we'rent we blastin people sayin "everybody plays the same schedule". That works both ways, kobe, melo, nash, all the "superstars" play 82 games, some back to back against tuff teams, but if tmac was a role player, he would b riding the bench right now with those numbers, he's a professional athlete, this is what he gets paid a ridiculous amount to do, there are no nights when u get to take a break and that kind of production from somebody being paid so well isn't acceptable. He's supposed to have that "extra gear" and I don't see that in him right now.
Tmac is one of four players who have 20+, 5+, 5+ this season. Other 3 are: Bryant, James, and Carter.
BTW, the rockets are the only team who has 22 winning streak, and it is the no.2 in nba history. It just happned not long ago, but some people seem to forget it already.
i very much remember the streak, im still braggin to my other friends about it, thats history and i love the Rocks for it, but this on the topic of McGrady playin with passion, i think thats the point everybody is trying to get across. I look at a guy like Baron Davis playing in a crazy fast offense putting up close to 40 minutes a night, nash does it to but not so many minutes.
Hoston is the no.3 in WC, but GS is the no. 8 in WC. Davis is a great player, I like him too. BD is the most strong pg that I have ever seen. But, in fact, he is more often injured and inconsistent. He is not perfect either! I guess you didn't watch many GS games. Otherwise, you can notice that. BTW, I don't understand why some rockets' fans require Tmac so high! It seems they want him to have James' young and strong body, Davis' passion, Nash's passing, and ... Sometimes, I think those fans are actually his hardcore fans, and have fell in love with him! Otherwise, why do they pay attention to him so much and require him so high?!
