first of all you are by far the biggest knucklehead ever. You are talking out of your @ss right now. Greg Anthony? Bill Walton? Magic Johnson? THEY HAVE NEVER I mean NEVER called him a point forward you know why? BECAUSE HE ISN'T.
another fact from a buddy of mine. There are only a few teams with the offense and personnel in the other positions that could even have a point forward. If you have a dominant big man or a pass first PG, you don't need a point forward. Why?? Because it's easier to run your offense from those points than from where a PF would have the ball -- all the angles change.
He's douchbag of the biggest kind. rafer brings the ball up thats like 20% of the time on the ball, but from there it's tracy who does all the playmaking and our ball handeling, yet he still has this fascination that rafer is the sole playmaker and ball handler.just go to Insidehoops and hoopshype to see how severly he got schooled.
hoopshype? You mean i schooled others? InsideHoops nothing happened my guess is that your fudge the most idiotic poster ever. You didn't read what nurvasa and HayesFan had to say did you?
My point was it's a stupid argument. And that the two of you were arguing about the same stupid thing in two threads was ridiculous. The fact that its still going on is even worse. What the heck difference does it make if he's a playing making forward or a point forward by "definition"? It doesn't. You should both go to bed and contemplate the BBS sins you have committed.
Oh crap, first you were on ISH, now you are asking this question on the BBS. Just give up, you can't convince other people to change their opinion, and other people can't change yours.
yeah just like Jonathan Feigen said Hes not a point forward. would you like to argue with guys like him or guys like Kenny Smith and Greg Anthony? Guys who never call him a point forward?
Oh yeah and guys, don't respond to this tmacyao11 anymore, on another forum he's managed to get 18 pages worth of responses and still think T-Mac isn't a point forward. And he opened up two threads on the exact same question- Is t-mac a point forward? Just ignore this guy, he's hopeless.
um not everyone that is a "member" is knowledgeable also. this is the basic definition of a point forward: Point forward is an unofficial playing position in basketball for those who share the attributes of both a point guard and a forward. A point forward is usually described as a forward who possesses the attributes of a point guard. A point forward can bring the ball up court and direct a play, however, their size also causes match-up problems as bulkier forwards may not want to guard a point forward around the perimeter constantly. Point forwards are usually the team's primary ball-handler. tmac is a forward. and he does spend time at point guard exclusively at times and easily possesses attributes of a point guard (unselfish, creates plays, looks for others before himself...) => he's a point forward. now what does "primary" mean? dictionary.com -> PRIMARY - first or highest in rank or importance; chief; principal who's the most important ball handler on this team? tracy who handles the ball 85% of the ball when it passes halfcourt? tracy who handles the ball in the 4th quarter starting in the backcourt? tracy so tracy is the primary ball handler. get it?
I'm sorry if i offended you. not my intention whatsoever. but this guy is trying to make a blatant point of tracy not beng a point forward or even the primary ball handler. anyhow, i'm not gonna reply to him anymore.
Primary Ball-Handlers Bring up the ball enough said. I'm going with Durvasa and HayesFan I agree 100% with them.
Even if thats like 20% of the time on offense.?rafer brings the ball up that takes like 6 seconds, but for the next 18 seconds atleast tracy spends the next 10 to 12 seconds of the time shot clock on the ball. tell me who the primary ball handler is?
Primary Ball-handler bring the ball up therfor its still Alston. Alston does hold the ball sometimes for more then 6 seconds.
I have decided that this is officially the lowest point in the year for Rocket's news. I tried to bring a little bit of fresh news with this Tmac appearance on 97.9 and all of a sudden a debate about a question that never even deserved to be answered comes up. We literally have nothing to talk about. I was expecting maybe 10 responses to this thread, something simple like: "Oh thats something new and/or interesting to hear," not the beginning of a new position (point-forward?) in basketball or dictionary definitions of the word 'primary.' Instead I get four pages of argument with roughly 8 decent replies. Thanks to those either staying on topic or trying to calm those that are running away with a really simple thread. A bit more news though to keep the thread interesting... I went to Fonde tonight and saw luther/deron williams/big baby. With regards to deron, he basically dominated everyone there and was showing off but it was a lot of fun to watch. Luther did reasonably well but was still having problems with defense. Surprisingly, Luther bulked up a little bit and was looking more muscular. I talked with him for a little bit and asked him if he was going to play point anymore (hopefully not). He replied, "S***, I don't know" and laughed about it. Not much there. But the most interesting thing of the night was watching Big Baby. He looked PITIFUL. These games are relatively recreational, not the most intense/focused basketball. However, Big Baby was struggling offensively and defensively tonight. He was extremely sluggish and kept on trying to cross guys over and take 17 foot turnaround jumpers. He had roughly 6 points on what I would say was 25% shooting. Most notable was how tired he was instantly. This guy is in TERRIBLE shape. On one out of four plays, he would simple not run up the court and just walk halfway until the ball came back to him. You could tell he was completely beat, and this was not even a remotely NBA-pace game. Made me feel A LOT better about not taking him and I do not feel he is as NBA ready as I thought he was. Sorry for the long winded response, and I do realize that it was only one game (and a completely unimportant one at that) but it was a REALLY poor showing by Big Baby.
tmac talking makes me wish the season was starting tomorrow. thank god the NBA schedule is due to be out tomorrow. i want to see our difficulty, how many times we are on national TV, and how we finish april.
