T-Mac played like a B/TCH. I'm sick of it, stop being lazy you fool. Practice your free throws with your eyes open, I don't care if you can hit 10 in a row with a blindfold, in game u shoot with your eyes open and this season you suck at it. Infact you suck period this season, whoever goes into the game and doesn't give it his all sucks no matter what in my book. Quinten said it best that T-Mac can't take a little contact, tonight shows it. I don't know what happend last night because he did all the things I dreamed of him doing, to follow it up like he has played so far this season? to follow it up by playing like a B/TCH. You jump in the air and try to pass it, how many turnovers did that get u tonight? You made un-coordinated passes. In the final seconds you had an open layout but u made a terrible pass to Rafer Alston who jacks up a bad 3. <B>Be the star you ACT like you are OFF THE COURT and try to be the same star ON THE COURT...</B> Yao and everyone else recognizes how sucky T-Mac is this year. If Yao honestly thought T-Mac played good then he wouldn't have to "Awake" from anything in that comment he made. That comment basically said "You have sucked all year and finally I saw a glimpse of the T-Mac I knew" just for him to follow it up with a another lathargic lazy stupid performance and I guess going back to sleep from awaking
I'm trying to figure out why everyone is mad. Both our stars sucked it up and we lost by 6 on the road to a solid defensive team. And the problem is?
What, Jeff, you disagree, you think Tmac is a warrior? Tmac is soft, Jon Koncak soft. If he wasn't he would be going strong to the hole, do you know that during the 2nd Knicks game they commented that Tmac only had 2 dunks all year at that point....TWO !! And Kenny Smith said, that was disgraceful that Tmac should have 2 a night....this was the only salient point he made all game. There are going to be nights when the shots aren't falling, and you have to try something else....tonight was one of those nights. DD
Actually it is about the result, plus how they played that make many fans upset tonight. If we won the game, then who cares how they played.
I don't think Tracy is a panzy or is soft. That's BS. I just believe he can't drive past his man on a consistent basis anymore. I don't understand why you guys can't see this. He has clearly lost a step when it comes to driving past his man. Tonight he had Davis and Hassel. Two very quick guys and good defenders. On nights when he has guys that are quicker than him he's going to struggle a bit and there are nights when he his body is going to feel good where he can attack all night.
Exactly, but what if then we play San Antonio or Dallas? Then we DO care about how we played, even if we won and are happy we us fans would know we wouldnt be able to even compete with San An playing like that... The Difference? If we play hard and not soft and we dominate then when San An or Dallas comes we as fans have confidence that we can hang with them.
Since you quoted me I'm assuming you think I'm mad. You'd be wrong. In fact these were my thoughts on the game that I posted on a different board... See? Not mad at all. As for everyone else...what do you expect? You know how things go on this board, Member #7.
I actually think the Rockets played a good game tonight on a back to back minus T-Mac and Yao. either of those two have a decent night and we win this game.
Actually I don't and do. I think he is painless but has afected him physically. Some nights he'll have it and some night he won't.
Why do people like to compare players like this. They both have different bodies and Carter never had chronic injury problem like Tracy's. Some players just age faster than others. Not that T-Mac is useless or anything, hes just not going to be that consistent 25-30 pt guy anymore.
See, I think he is playing scared, and is tenative out there. Instead of going to the rim with authority he is worried about getting hurt and settling for jumpers. Thus, the "all in his head" comment. He has lost something, but it is not athleticism, it is confidence. DD
