    Did anyone see the advertisement in this thread...and probably elsewhere?

    It said...."Never Suffer Again...from incontinence and a weak bladder".

    Thanks alot, Tmac. :D

    T-Mac thinks he fooling people by jacking up buzzer beaters 0.5 seconds AFTER the buzzer. The fact that he's been doing that all season long without someone pulling him aside is a bit disturbing. It still would've gone relatively unnoticed if their were 2-3 seconds left instead of 5. Maybe he should watch hours of tape of his boy Kobe going off for 50 and hopefully it will inspire him to play with a killer instinct.

    yup. the thing that gets me is, why does he care so much about his shooting % at this point in his career? he's said before that he doesn't care about individual accolades anymore, having already won two scoring titles. he's got a fat contract already. what gives, t-mac? mouth writing checks that your ego can't cash?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Obviously the odds of hitting a 60-foot shot aren't good, but as we saw with Bonzi against the Heat, it can happen. And that basket was a big momentum swing in our favor.

    What's really pissing me off is that not only is T-Mac intentionally holding onto the ball at the end of quarters and not shooting, he's "inspired" his teammates to do it as well. I've noticed Rafer and Luther doing the same crap now.

    I noticed that ,and I am so angry about it "What the XXXX is that ??"

    In the game DET vs ORL 5 hours ago , hamilton make a layup in just 3 seconds left , and we have 5.6 seconds left , he acted like the one with 5 seconds left in the fourth quarter and lead Jazz by 15 points .

    I also noticed that in another end , Yao was so pissed off for that too , just review that part , you will found that .

    5 seconds is more than enough to make a shoot. TMac WALKed the ball up and passed it to the worst shooter on the team: Chuck Hynes. This play disgraced me, and most of the rocket fans. TMac is simply a loser or with loser mentality. I just feel sick when I recall what he said before the serial started: "This is my team, ..., it will be on me...". Sick!!!

    I hope the Rockets lose the series just so TMac can see why he never deserved to get out of the first round.

    I seriously think T-mac could careless about getting out of the first round after he had the huge contract.

    anyway, Rox will win it all. :cool:

    Its not just Tmac....every rockets do that and its so annoying. I have seen players from other team almost run down the court and make a layup with just 5 sec left....our players barely even get to half court line. And last night it just proved it that rockets just almost gives up way too early. Tmac was just non existent last night....had not heart!!!

    In your opinion there is all abou Tracy. But there are 5 players on the floor. THERE IS NOT ONLY TMAC! I know he sucked last couple of games but hey, this is basketball, NBA. All team sucked, not only Tracy so chill out! Hopefully T-Mac finds his rythm, jumpshoots and we'll get the game 5!

    errr, the thread is about T-mac's last play during the end of the 1st half.

    And no, its not all about T-mac, Yao and everyone else have to step up too. But he gonna have to take most of the blame. (for obvious reason)

    chris bosh just did it too, and the raptors were losing by like 50 points or something. just another clue as to the mentality of certain players.

    as an aside, wow. i can't believe it. i've been a t-mac jockrider since he got here to h-town, yet now i find myself having these doubts and getting more and more critical of the guy's attitude...please, t-mac, prove us wrong and restore hope in all of rocketland. it's on you. :(

    No kidding. This thread is the first thing I thought of when I saw that shot. And the Warriors did it with 1.1 seconds.
