Man TMac showed his class tonight, trying to defend Okur and carrying the load! man... never been more proud of my boy TMac.
I really feel bad for Tmac and I do respect him much more after this game... This guy play his ass off, but sometimes, bad luck could just destroy a great player like this...
haha yea, forget Grant Hill's injuries in Orlando, Yao's here, Rafer getting hurt too in this game?? wtf?? Poor guy just getting no breaks.
For all the crap he's taken, and all the bad luck he's had, I'm impressed that he still gives as much as he does. I feel badly for him -- sometimes he has to feel like he'd be better off just giving up and going underground. Next year, he will get there -- next year is our year.
There's plenty of "blame" to throw around. Yes, there's a fundamental problem with Tracy not scoring a single point in a decisivie third quarter, but let's be real. When you go from 4 to 19 points down in one quarter, it's a team effort, and that's really where the problem lies. For all the moves Morey made during the off-season, the Rockets still have some fundamental problems at the other positions. Depth, and scoring depth in particular, is a problem. Not only that, but the individual expectations have to be raised. No longer can we accept Chuck Hayes being unpredictable as a "hustle" player when he's already not much of a threat offensively, or Bobby Jackson being an enigma on offense, shooting jumpers off balance and failing to stay in front of his man on defense. And so on. Would I like Tracy to be a more consistent version of the Tracy from two years ago? Sure. But a bigger issue is that a) the Rox can seem to stay health and b) the remaining players all too often fail miserably when you need them not to. Until the roster is upgraded across the board, we'll continue to be aggravated. It's too bad.
tmac has played better as this series got along (and shot better). i still think he can avg 25+ppg easy if he just improves his ft, stamina and J a lil bit his stats for this series 27ppg, 8rpg, 7apg, 42.5% shooting, and he avg 9ft attempts this series. he did his part. like i said, tmac ALWAYS steps his game up in the playoffs. but he needs help.
Respect to Tracy. He was at his best when we needed him the most. He must lie awake at night wondering why the hell he can't catch a break, and worse, seems to be surrounded by scrubs.
I've been upset with McGrady's performance in some games this series, but today, he played his best and left it all out on the floor. PROPS to Tmac. Hopefully, Morey can do something with BJax expiring contract and get us some help. Again, I am proud of Tmac trying his best and putting up a fight.
Are you a dumbass or what? You're acting like you're an expert when you're not even close to one. How can McGrady "rest" on the defensive end? He has been playing great defensive this game, and even so you can't "rest" on defense. And tell me idiot? Won't you be blaming and hating on McGrady if he did "rest" on defense? Can't believe you're not banned yet. Idiot trying to play smartball
