HE has never said he lost the game cause he was tired. He said im tired during a lakers game at half time and he hit critical shots in that game too. I don't get why people keep saying his whining. The only peoiple saying his tired is ME and YOU the fans
You are a notorious McGrady flatter as well. Before he requires his teameats to make open shots, he has to make enough pts from the 49 shots. As a team leader with 14/49shots record he can never say that. He hog the ball in last two games. Blinebury is right.
Why don't you read the original quote before you speak? And he did not say he was tired after the game, the OP was trying to make it look like he was the making excuses for the loss to the Celtics.
Jordan couldn't have won titles if Armstrong, Kerr, Kukoc, Hodges, Tucker, and Wennington didn't hit their jumpshots. Even when he averaged 37 ppg for a season, he had no chance at winning a title. Hakeem needed Maxwell, Horry, Smith, Cassell, Bullard, Elie, Jent, Brooks, and Chillcut to hit open jumpshots in order for him to win a title. Even he couldn't do it by himself. Tmac is not as good as Jordan or Hakeem. If thats what yall are expecting, then yall will be disappointed. Just because the Rockets pay him like a greatest of all time player doesn't mean he is. He is a very talented player, who has had his share of injury problems the last 3 years. He isn't hte 24 year old player who would dunk on people with ease anymore. He's lost a little bit, but he's still a top 10 talent in the NBA. But he can't do it by himself. Especially when teams are gonna double and triple team him and clog the lanes for him to "drive" to. He isn't gonna run over people like Lebron, he has to avoid them, and he can only avoid so many in 2 steps after his dribble. He wasn't throwing his teamates under the bus, he is simply speaking the truth, they DO have to hit some of their shots.
CP3 plays 48 mins alot and so does iverson.They are fing PG.They don't have to carry around alot of weight.I have seen LJ get a IV from playing alooot of mins in a gm.It's simple to understand.
Every player is different. T-Mac has his own styles. He is not as strong as many super stars. His energy is low comparing to others. When he said, 'We played with a lot of energy,' many of us laughed because that was by his own standard. More often than not, we saw him slowly walking on the court without any intensity. I guess he had to pace his games because he is not a 48 minutes player. Still, he is the best player we have. By the way, believe or not, the Worrior thought Rockets without Yao was more dangerous than with Yao. They love to play Rockets with Yao.
Aww man everyone here is just going way too far. Ok they're back on tract now, t-mac had a great performance against GS. Is that not good enough. I am going to start memorizing the haters and forever, hate them and diss them whenever I see another post from them. This is Horrible. T-Mac blames teammates? 1. He NEVER DID. 2. He SAID HE WAS TIRED IN THE LAKERS GAME YOU DUM*****S. 3. A few haters here only posted 10-15 times. 4. This thread is not locked yet, what? 5. Kobe said his shot wasn't going in in the game they lost to the rockets. McGrady said he was tired. The difference? T-mac passed, kobe went 11-33. Idiots. 6. T-mac does not play with heart? If he doesn't play with heart, we would've lose to sacramento, sonics, every single game last year playoffs, gone 30-0 when Yao was out. 7. Attack the rim, go 30 points. HE CAN'T JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN. Boston is THE best defensive team right now. You can't just expect a player to score that many. 8. IF YOU GUYS DIDN'T KNOW, T-MAC PASSES. 9. Nicknames like Mclazy, McCancer. Are uncalled for, they're wrong. They're not smart. Jump on the F*ing wagon. I already memorized the people who spilled crap. 10. Clutch better close this thread before I list out all the haters and have their name be shamed forever. 11. Brooksball made mistakes and he ate crow for it. But his hates were justified and reasonable. This is just, BS.
A fan not only loves his team, but the players as well. There is no scapegoat for you. You hate a player for a good reason, not just based on a couple of games. So too bad cause I picked out all the haters. I wont go through all cause im not bothered. Name of Shame: Rocketman2000 AntiSonic (ESPECIALLY THIS GUY. CAN WE PLEASE MAKE A "YOU GOT OWNED" ON THIS GUY??? PLEASEEE) onsoo ROCKET RICH NYC manbearpig Tonaaayyyy (Im sorry that photoshop poster you made was just too uncalled for. It was completely unnecessary and offensive.) ind0fo0 sm0d (he is being dragged by the wagon, better watch out, he could let go any minute) pipesir A13 tested911 ktvoss RocketTilIDie sab504 youyou2007 (Im sorry, but if your hate is because he scored 8 points, you're a hater. If it was that easy to play in NBA, he would be somewhere around Michael Jordan level. Scoring 8 points is not easy. Not to mention 40+). And of course,Fran Blinebury (I will pay someone to make a "you got owned" video on him) Am I getting in trouble for this? O well. Btw, im recording the list and expanding it everyday. Choose your words wisely, plain bashing without justification will get you in the list.
I love how if a coach says it he is right, if the best player says it he's a "cancer". I've heard Jordan and others say the same thing and I don't remember them being called cancers.
He was also the first one to take responsibility for the Rockets losing in the first round last year but you conveniently forget that because you have to find some reason to whine and cry about McGrady.
You mean the same way he didn't man up and take responsibility for the Rockets losing to Utah last year. Oops, that's right, he did take responsibility.
Couldn't agree with you more. You know every time a post like this comes out somebody like AntiSonic is going to be chomping at the bit to trash McGrady.
Havent you senior members been along long enough to know that pretty much all antisonic posts are one liners cheap shots at tmac?
And that's the sad part about it. AntiSonic, if I'm correct, was one of the people defending Steve Francis, who has never won a first round series himself by the way. Francis was getting the same crap, and here he is jumping on the "trash McGrady" bandwagon. Criticism of players I understand, but I never understood why people enjoyed finding a player or two on your favorite team and trashing him personally.
Francis played his heart out for this team. As long as the Super Bowl wasn't being played that day, you could never question his desire. The same unfortunately can not be said about McGrady.
I've never heard any player says they were too tired, damn what's gonna happen when the playoffs come around, he won't be fresh then either.....I guess have man half a season fits well with this guy......
