    There are a lot of discussion of TMac's recent play, that is, the last three games (Lakers, Celtics, Hornets). It is not deniable that he had three consecutive subpar outings. It is interesting to guess the reason behind it. Of course it reflects your opinion toward TMac.

    HE IS TIRED. Cant you people understand? Hes tired, he just wants to rest. Hes played 48 minutes TWICE IN A MONTHS PERIOD. Cant you guys understand, playing 48 minutes will make a player breakdown quick. Hes TIRED. He just wants to get paid millions and "chill". Lets all let McLazy Rest in peace shall we.

    He isnt assertive enough/he can only light up teams that play bad defense any team that plays good D he quits.

    He's too tired.

    And opponents pay more attention in defense on him.

    It's nothing, just have a rest, we will be back.

    Yup. Winning 22 in a row might do that to a guy.

    TMAC is historically an up and down player. I wish he were the consistent type of star where you knew what you were going to get out of him almost every single night, but he isn't. He'll play out of his gourd one night and put up bricks the rest. Unfortunately, nobody has stepped up these last two games to cover for him like the were doing during the streak.

    He has reverted to the old Tmac where he gets the ball at the top of the key and settles for jumpers.

    Teams are zoning off to stop his drives......but if he DOES drive it opens up 3pt shots for his teamates, but he is not driving.

    And.....he has stopped moving, and thus the team is watching him.

    These last 2 games were pure Gundy Ball......

    Adelman needs to give him some rest and get the team running his offense again...STAT !

    I think he knows, even if he dominates and wins some of these games, it's no use for the team to become dependent on him. Come playoff time, he can dominate maybe 2 games, but would still lose the series. I think he has his mind made up that they have to win with team ball or nothing. Theres no point in him even trying to carry the team because he has tried that in the past and failed.

    Yes there is, and knowing that...shouldn't you have spared us yet ANOTHER repetitive thread about the same exact tired discussion? Or are you just lonely?

    Either way guys, lets just hope for the best. I feel like McLazy is gonna be tired for the rest of the season and blame the team for overplaying him. :mad:

    He is just not his old self. And the current T-Mac is worlds away from Kobe, LBJ and CP3. Our winning streak covers up his streaky shooting, his sluggishness and his sensitiveness, both mental and physical.

    then he needs a better ofseason workout or a better conditioning coach... You are paid MILLIONS of dollars to perform at an elite level and be in top physical shape.... Every player in the league is somewhat fatigued at this point into the season... the difference is that most other players have balls.

    Yeah, but we won 13 in a row with yao in the team. The rest has been Team ball. He didnt do it all by himself. The rest of the players arent tired, man up will ya?
