I think he did "enjoy" the game. He was laughing with the one who blocked him on a wide open layup and schooled him on the other end right away.
Yeah, but the Ariza, Farma, Sasha co. is better than ours right now. Berry played like crap today. Luther's having his first game of the season, so I can't be too hard on him, but he played poorly. You can't expect Landry and Scola, Hayes outplay Lamar and Bynum. Laker is the better team. However if our 3 stars can click as they are supposed to with Shane, we can take the Lakers any day. We will have them next time.
I agree but the second unit stank just as much in the 3rd quarter. Not getting calls kills morale, but when you see your leaders deflate, it compounds the situation. I want to see Yao or Tmac do 3 consecutive dunks after a couple of bad calls. Something to show everyone the world is against them. Not seeing growth in aggressiveness after 5 years is pretty damn depressing.
i don't know why there are so many people thinking this is knee jerk. what is so knee jerk about telling t-mac to sit when he isn't ready to play? i mean it's pretty clear he is getting destroyed on defense and his offesnive game the last couple games has been hurting us more than helping. maybe he needs to sit a few games out until he is fully ready.
Right. These past two game almost made me cry from watching him and I didn't see the tonighs game really.
The lakers bench is better, but i'm talking about needless turnover after turnover or simply not boxing out ariza.
I agree with this post 100%. Great post. Actually, maybe not 100%. I don't think T-Mac has taken a full step back from last season. He is just not healthy right now. I think if he was healthy he'd be just as good if not better. He was playing well until the Clippers/Lakers games in which he was supposedly sick, but it's not confirmed?
do you see him when he tries to fight through a pick? he's slow. he's hurting the team more than he's helping. yeah he's had bad shooting nights, but he's not even getting the to line...zero attempts from the superstar tonight.
Stop the bull**** about how Tracy isn't the same player anymore. Its all mental. The guy has problems. If he wasn't the same player, he wouldn't have those 40 point outbreaks during the season.
You don't sit your starting QB no matter what. Likewise, if Tmac thinks he can play, coach can't sit him out. As simple as that.
The AB sword is double edged, he can be out of control just as easily as he explodes with 14 pt in a short spurt. It's a trip when he is having the ball.
Was KG championship material on the T-wolves? This is just asinine. You know someone is championship material after he gets the ring, see.
he really needs to sit out a few games or something, i know he wasnt sick he was laughing during the game and stuff, against good defensive teams its like hes not even there same thing last year against lakers he was horrible but better than today, last year it took rafer to save us with 8 threes but well never even see a 25% shooter in rafer so dont expect him to save us again
I'm not pleased with T-mac's performance at all, but to want to trade the guy after 2 bad games is flat out r****ded. He was the only guy that played bad.
So how much do you think is mental? Because right now I don't know whats wrong with him. 5 points in two games I know he could do better than that, and thats right after it looked like he was getting better after scoring 30 and 26.
