Never...just as I would expect the team to take the same attitude. But hey, sometimes, I just get tired of the same old lines, and I take a break or "take a play off" you might even say. Sometimes, I post so much trying to promote some fairness or positivity, but by the end, I'm just "drained mentally" and just click the little X in the top right corner of my browser and spend time with loved ones that understand it's tough and love me for who I am. Sometimes, you just only have so much in you. Although, I am getting older, so it's tougher, and I just get tired. You obviously have fire and passion, since you never quit.
For all the people playing the blame Tmac game, what is the solution to the problem. You offer no solutions. How would we have won the last 2 games? I guess you are suggesting a trade of Tmac for someone else? If your trade was already in place, would we have won in your opinion? Perhaps you have another solution?
Though I defend Tracy McGrady in the way he has played in this series, this article I found pretty interesting. Check out the link. http://www.***************/Story.asp?story_id=8402
People need to chill out, we have 2 starters out on our team. We have Bobby Jackson starting, who was only supposed to be a backup PG at best. McGrady is one player on the team, who else on the rockets has been making plays in the postseason. Houston fans don't deserve a championship, it seems like most people are bandwagon fans. This complaining wasn't there during the 22 game win streak. Let's face it, the Rockets over achieved without Yao in the lineup. I think McGrady carried this team pretty well to 55 wins in the regular season. Get real people, UTAH was the better team all the way, just look that there head to head matchups!
People need to calm down with the T-Mac quit crap. It was VERY clear in the 4th quarter that he was trying to get to the rim, but simply couldn't. That was very apparent on the possession when T-Mac dribbled for 15 seconds trying to get past AK, couldn't, was trapped and then turned the ball over. He had no easy shots except pullup 3's. The passes he made were great, but we simply couldn't capatalize (except on the Jackson 3 that was negated by Scola). He didn't take over ala Bron or Kobe, but he still made the right basketball plays and did all that he could with what the defense gave him.
If t-mac's number is considered quit. Then I don't know what a superstar is anymore. Game 3, alston returns, t-mac was there. He was here when we really needed him. Impossible is nothing, the perfect slogan and brand for t-mac. I think in order to break the curse for t-mac, we have to reverse it. T-mac has often been up by 2-0 before losing the series. Dallas, Jazz. I think this time, we need to be 0-2 before we could win. T-mac's legacy, impossible is nothing.
T-Mac was there tonight. He brought it. I don't think anyone has any complaints EXCEPT that shot over Boozer for, what we thought was going to be, the win. That's the only one. He made his FTs under pressure (those last 2) he came out and drilled 2 shots. He missed one, big deal, i'll give him that. Stretched the lead to 7 before they knocked down those two 3's. The only shot he shouldn't have taken was that one over Boozer that bricked. What happened there? ANYWAYS LANDRY SAVED HIS ASS. T-Mac if you're not writing a check made out to Carl Landry right now...
Looks a little better with the starting point guard back doesn't it? Rockets win. All the Tmac blamers that refused common sense, maybe might have their eyes opened a little now. He can't do it all by himself. The spacing and flow of the Rockets offense was much better tonight, Rafer scores 20, and Tmac doesn't have to handle the ball as much ,so he actually has a little fuel left to make some plays at the end and squeak out the win. Great play also from Carl. Kind of surprised that Rafer was healthy enough to come back and contribute like he did. I'm afraid Shane is pretty banged up with his foot also though. It's still going to be really tough to win this series in the hole their in and with the injuries. I am really glad that their still in it though, and that there will be no sweep. The Rockets are better than that and deserve better. I'm glad they pulled one out and hope they will find away to do it again on Saturday. That would be something else. It's funny in so many Playoff series through the years that the Rockets have lost at home and won on the road. Can we consider this thread closed now?
That last shot wasn't a good one, no doubt, but it should never have come to that. The Rockets D just collapsed after getting up 7. And I can't believe, they called the O-foul for that flopping b!tch Kirilenko (again!). But he brought it in the 4th quarter. Assists, rebounds, blocked shot and 7 huge points. Carl Landry is the rightful hero of this game, but McGrady was great tonight.
Oh yeah for sure Landry saved it. I completely forgot about that block T-Mac had and that snatched board. Amazing play by the TEAM and we won. Funny how that works...
i can't argue with you on rafer b/c he really does set the tempo and alleviate so much ballhandling pressure from tmac so i'm sure tmac really appreciates rafer. but trust me, scola is no leader. he may be the hardest working mofo we have, but no leader constantly shies away from contact and misses point blank layups. i'm sure every player was frustrated as hell at scola tonight b/c he easily could have 25 pts had he make his layups.
But I think he has the attitude of a leader, despite his shortcomings...... I would follow Luis Scola to war any day, Tracy not so much......
I don't think Scola shies away from contact in the paint either. He's constantly working his butt off in the post. And nobody who's shy about contact is going to scoop up rebounds like he does, especially offensive rebounds.
Dude, I've noticed that in order to glorify T-Mac it seems like you're constantly running down other players. You're not even accurate this time. Nobody who shies away from contact is going to rebound like Scola.
I love McGrady, but I think tmac_1 got that from Doug Collins tonight... and Doug was wrong. Scola tries to avoid getting the block a little too hard, but he doesn't try to avoid contact.
