U want to root for the guy, you really do; but he is so FAR from a leader that it hurts. When the team was rattled in the 3rd, he kept passing up shots, and not showing any signs of holding the team together. His body language during this playoffs is nothing like the 05' series! He has ZERO dunks this series. No vocal leadership. I;m telling you, I truly am done with him after this season
the body language of t-mac in the 3rd was horrible! HORRIBLE! Even worse than the fact that he did nothing to inspire his teammates, he's a liablity on the defensive end because he's not playing as a teammate in the defense. Bump the damn cutters and press the passer. Come on T-mac. Someone on the rockets need to call him out. Battier, Howard, Mutombo, I'm looking at you to call him out! Get a dunk t-mac. Give the rockets something to cheer about! Even a weak dunk is fine. Come on!! Zero dunks in 4 games. ZERO freaking dunks for someone that athletic is inexcusable! Poise, intensity, intelligence, and execution. We need that from t-mac.
and the thing with MAc is, he no longer is fun to watch. I remember an ESPN poll in 03,who is the most entertaining and enjoyable player to watch in the league, and Tmac beat out Kobe. Now, the only thing that has kept me rooting for him is the fact that I love my Rockets and that I have been following Tmac since 99'!! Tmac is flat out boring to watch with his soft play and his jumpers
yeah i remember the orlando days when his turn around 16-20 footers are unguardable and i remember that lakers vs orlando game in which he scored 50 pts in 3 quarters while kobe scored 50 after 4 quarters. And back they he shoots free throws from like the middle of the semicircle and swishes them. And no, his jumpers sux and his freethrow is worse
