Once a sore loser, always a sore loser You just are dying inside because you know that it is rediculous to compare a street-baller (SF) to a complete player and a Superstar (The Macster) I know how you feel bro, but that is the price of using your heart instead of your mind in bashing T-Mac and praising SF in every thread you have ever posted. You might wanna get a reality check or have someone nearby slap you back into reality. It is just not worth it to stick to SF over the Macster. I hope one day you will see the light. My advise to you? Get over it bro! SF is gone, TM is here! I loved SF too, but I have seen the light and have converted looooooooong ago. Living in the past won't help you, especially when the future is sooooooo much brighter! I have been converted, don't stay an outkast. But I guess if the 13pt-in-33sec did not convince you, nothing will
Unlike people who change their feelings dpeending on each game performance, I try ot htink a little more down the road than that. I didn't just dislike Mac overnight, and I aint gonna change my mind overnight. I'll wait till the end of the seaosn and see where he took the Rox.
The thing I enjoy about watching t-mac is that the man is a nasty competitor who seems to get better as the score gets closer and time runs out. He makes big shots, clutch plays, etc. time after time. He has a killer instinct that I think has been lacking here in the past. The way he dominates a game reminds me of watching Jordan or Hakeem. Nasty. Cold blooded. Clutch. A joy to watch.
Figo is much more than dribbling. He is also one of the best crossers in the game (I feel better than Beckham, faster and lower trajectory) and at least during his time at Barcelona also pretty hard working. Denilson is much more appropriate.
I was glad to get T-Mac, but I honestly did not expect this. The guy is absolutely mezmorizing. I watch him like I remember watching Dream when he was at the height of his career. I find myself just shaking my head every game and saying to the opposing team through the TV, "Why would you leave him open?" He has far exceeded all my expectations and we're barely through half the season.
Exactly how I feel. Everytime Dream took those hard looking fadeways I would be screaming at him, but they would almost always go in. Same thing with Tmac. Some shots he takes makes me want to scream, but they FREAKIN GO IN!!
There's a reason he is considered a top 5 player. This guy averaged 32/5/5 with a good FG% (44.5%) two years ago.
As always Jeff, you put it as eloquently as anyone can I couldn't say it better myself, I find myself at times holding my breath whenever he puts up a shot, because it always looks off-balance/too far away or because he is TRIPLE FREAKIN' TEAMED the whole game, and he still rises up with incredible grace and puts up a line-drive looking shot and it rolls int othe net. The guy has more grace than anyone I have ever seen before. The scary thing? He is FREAKIN' 25 I mean, barring major injuries or something, this guy will be in his prime for another good 7 years or more! I overwhelm myself with the possibilities whenever I think about it. Mesmerizing is a word that describes the feeling probably better than anything else, although it is amazing we would call a man "mesmerizing" But he is that good! --Tiger
Denilson is a typical example of people who mistake means for goals. His dribbling is just for the sake of dribbling, so pathetic, not even funny. Speaking of Real Madrid, Zidane is their brain and soul, in fact, any team he's on, he's the brain and soul, enjoy so much to watch him play. maybe in a way of Kidd and Nash's play?
okay guys now take it ez on the t-mac compliments... he does need to improve in his D.... we all know he can do better back there... plus the way he dominates ....i believe he should take higher % shots at times... his FG% is'nt exactly amazing.... not horrifyingly good like some here make it look out to be.... his game can be improved ... though the scary thing is he is still young.
Due to his injuries,we haven't even seen the best yet.When healthy,Tracy will be finishing with authority.I would also venture that his defense will be markedly improved too. As the holes in our team are filled,players mature,and chemistry is fine tuned,it should become apparent to the rest of the basketball world that something BIG is happening here in Houston again.
After going to the Knicks v Rockets game here in NYC, I have found a way to watch every game possible. Seeing TMac live (and score 35 points almost effortlessly) was worth the ridiculous $90 a ticket.
Apology not accepted. You know nothing about basketball and you are an emotional barney who played to the mob. It was real easy to say JVG sucks and the team sucked with the rest of the growing mob of loud mouths and weaklings like Rockets03 and EDC and Oldmanrock. It just shows that you are a little follower like them who cannot think for themselves.
I'm sure there were bandwagoners, there always are. I wanted JVG gone at the beginning of the season, but not because of how the rockets played (beyond the plays JVG wanted them to run of course), it's how he seemed so stubborn and hard headed and also limited his best players abilities in order to fit some mold or fuel for this machine he called an offense. Obviously, he has changed his game plan and also pulled off great trades. He has done what I thought he would never do, and that's change. You can't call all of us bandwagoners if we don't think firing JVG is appropriate now that he has changed his ways in running this team and he has done what most of the Fire JVG crowd wanted... the "Just have patience" saying doesnt apply to the scenario we are in now. If we still had JJ, and T-mac average 15ppg while the Rockets averaging 87ppg now and we have this current record then yes we should have had more patience. But no, this is a whole different team from January. I will not apologize to JVG for wanting him gone because even he knows where he was going to end up if he didn't change. But I will give him props for letting t-mac loose and for the signings of Barry and Wesley. All we need now is for JVG to "free yao" (which it looks like he is being freed by his recent performances. I know I know, Yao can be the only one who decides to be free, but we all know JVG wanted him in the post 80% of the time til now. Looking back, I don't regret wanting JVG fired. I do regret having faith in Boki though Oh wait, am I a bandwagoner on that too
