Shaud's point makes more sense, because Tmac publicly dissed the Cavs last year in his radio interviews http://www.cleveland.com/ohio-sports-blog/index.ssf/2009/04/tracy_mcgrady_is_not_sold_on_t.html Cavaliers, NBA, Sports Impact » Tracy McGrady: "The Cleveland Cavaliers are not that good." By Branson Wright April 21, 2009, 10:39AM Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady has never advanced to the second round of the playoffs in his 12-year NBA career despite seven trips to the postseason. And now that McGrady is out with a knee injury, it looks like the Rockets will advance to the second round without him. So McGrady, the playoff expert, had plenty to say about the postseason during this radio interview on 790 The Zone. McGrady said the Cleveland Cavaliers are not that good. When asked which team will win it all, McGrady was quick with his answer.
You can just look at those highlights over and over. Cus Tracy will never be that guy again. What a waste of talent smh.
I imagine some parents would find this terribly offensive. There is no way I would want to see kids act this way in sports. What the Cavs did remind me of stuff you'd see in school hallways. Hell, I don't even care it happened against Tracy, it still looked like kids out there.
So just cause they have a record of doing it, that means they can (looking at a freeze frame right now) everyone gets off their seat, 2 guys rolling on the ground, another 2 hugging each other, and all are on the actual ball court. While Carl Landry gets a fine for standing up.
I think that trade was great, would do it again, sometimes risks you take in life just don't pan out. The team was not going anywhere with Steve, or with Tracy....but it took a couple of shots to try. Next... DD
He was right they lost to the magic and lakers won it all. Maybe tmac should become a commentator. The hate on this board is insane. It seems like some people spend more energy on hating Tmac then being fans of the rockets.
yeah, i saw that brought up after i posted. theres probably something to that. but thats not an isolated incident - the cavs have a habit of acting like that - its kind of childish and unprofessional. but i guess its up to the other team to shut them up.
nah, it's more like Rocket fans letting the Tmac nation know the truth. If they are dissing on Daryl Morey and Rick Adelman, the Rocket fans respond. They dropped a bunch of "What Ifs" and Rocket fans are dropping some "Now What"s on them.
It is not like I am hating on Tracy but the way he acts and actually what he says make him stupid enough to notice it. After good game: I will be there as a top free agent after bad game: I told you I am gonna struggle, it is not about points, etc
prolly not, i watched some of the cavs/knicks game last night, he looked awful, he has looked pretty bad in every game i've watched except the first one. i dont know if he is done, but his game looks very subpar when he can't drive past people, he can no longer shoot over you, he'll be a good vet player, but unless he has some major improvements in the offseason tracy won't ever win a series cause no one will want him on their team. sad, cause when he was healthy he was one of the most entertaining players, his vision, athleticism, touch, even the tmac haters know that they loved him when he produced, unfortunately injuries and egos can wear a player down.
Wow Tracy got posterized by Delonte West last night.....Delonte freakin West!!!! A PG! He's hobbled again. What a suprise. He asked why coach didn't give him more PT? That's why. He so freakin soft, weak and injury prone we couldn't afford him to get injured again while we were trying to work out a trade. To all you TOF: IT'S OVER! He MAY get a MLE deal next year from some desperate team ready to overpay, but he will BOMB there just like he did every where else. He whined and complained his way out of Houston, just to get injured again once he got some PT. I just hope we dont go through this again with our other resident injury prone-guy.By the way, last T-Wack note: Isn't it amazing how he showed up to play against a bad team (Indiana) but suddenly fades against Boston and Cleveland? Ok. Thank you....
