Currently Kobe runs a similar offense in the triangle, Rip Hamilton runs it in Detroit, Ray Allen in Boston. DD
not enough ball movement with tmac. it's just not gonna work and if u cant see that then i just feel sorry for u. and saying we need tmac to get us over the hump? really...tmac??(mentally weak) all we need is some nice team work a healthy yao and a better shot selection from the rest of our cast. play smart and run the offense. oh, and dont forget von wafer aka future go to guy on this team.
T-mac looks like hes moving a whole lot better, I guess all the conditioning stuff payed off. He just needs to shake off some of his rust and he should be good to go.
But isn't that quote more applicable to the entire Rockets team? Who on this team can get their shot without being fed Rafer, Battier, Landry and Yao (because he's a center of course)? Artest (should), T-Mac, Wafer and Brooks (sometimes) seem to be the only ones that can get their own shots without being fed. Personally, I would like to see Tracy and Wafer playing together for a few minutes a game at least. You would at least have two potential players who could penetrate.
"when one player plays bad" Didn't the TEAM play bad???? Turnovers, blown assignments, missed shots and botched assists are the because of the team. People can hate T-Mac all they want. I just want them to hold the entire team to the same standard. Last night Landry had a turnover and then took the next two shots and both were misses. So does that get the same criticism of course not, you wanted him to play more. And he is not a defensive specialist by any means.
its a team game, but your highest paid player should score more than zero points in the 4th. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/6235453.html Inbounding with 5.8 seconds left, the Rockets ran McGrady around a Yao screen. Dalembert switched, and when McGrady went for his last-second 3, Dalembert got a hand on it, and another collapse was complete. McGrady finished with 24 points and six assists but, fittingly for the night, was scoreless in the fourth quarter.
Once a loser always a loser! I know everybody says that it took Olajuwon and Jordan many years to win a championship. The difference between those 2 players vs McGrady is heart. Olajuwon took a team of nobodys and won a championship.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_the_NBA The chemistry of Johnson, Smith and Barkley has led some to believe that Inside the NBA is the best studio program on television [3] [4]. The program has won several Emmys, including one by host Ernie Johnson Jr. for "Best Studio Host/Personality"[5]. Some criticize the show, mainly due to Barkley's brashness[6]; in turn, that same brashness is also cause for some to praise the show [7].
he's part of inside the nba, it's a team award. oh a friend of mine who's a hostess at a fancy restaurant in austin told me that venessa hudgens tried to get some alcohol and they denied her.
I do not hate TMac....... I hate that when he can't play to the level his bank account shows he should........he still wants to take a ton of shots without results and it hurts the team......... that COMPLETELY deserves CRITICISM. Once again if you guys want to build up people around here for their athletic ability and not their team smarts.......then should be fair and take it when athleticism declines at the detriment of the TEAM this website exists for!
What does how much money he earn has to do with anything. Wally get paid like 15 mils, and he isnt even playing in the 4th for the Cavs. He is on a max contract which Yao is going to be on after 2010. And for all those that think we are better without Tmac, you guys are just plain dumb. Tmac has an extra gear in the playoff, he has show us that every single playoff series. So stop complaining and give it time. This team will get it going again.
your a hater, all you talk about tmac and nothing about ron. if you going to blame players be fair if not your just a tmac hater.
i hate when people ague about how much tmac earns 1- of all he got max contact, what do you expect, i bet most of you(hater love it when les gave him that deal) but it's a sign deal, Les know the deal has it's risk.Also deke and head dont even play, you want they play like how much they get paid?? 2-you don't pay him? i know how you say, oh i brought a ticket to go see the rox, no one force you and you going to see the whole rockets as a team not only him. 3-Personally idc how he play, a good game from him would be nice but a win its all that matter. 4-major companies Ceo get pay millions, most of them dont even do anything, you want them to built you a rocket? 5-team game, unless really he lose the game for us, and dont said about knicks and phili cause we should have blown out the knicks and phili is good team we lost as a team, you can ague about the last play but if we have play well and d all game long we wont have that right? My point its stop talking about how much he get paid and more about what the mistake he made stop criticizing for how much he get pay and that he should live up to it. Sorry about my bad english.
