    I like his attitude.

    I am so proud of this guy!

    He is still confident and he promised he will be back.

    He seemed a little too happy, considering we just got crushed...

    He really showed heart in this series. The bench didn't step up on the final game. The Rockets are one or maybe two players short of a championship.

    ....and then i think he cusses at the end haha, but anyways the way he was talking makes me feel so good about the future, i mean imagine hakim warrick grabbin the rebounds and adding athleticism to our perimeter defense and t-mac looks determined to come back stronger than ever, he even said that this will just make him stronger and that he'll never fold

    He was also almost crying during the game...

    after the game..the only little parts they showed of tmac..he looked mad..no smile..just said good game and walked off..i bet josh howard just went to the lockerroom..

    He said he was disgusted and mad and didn't expect that would happen..but yeah you did see it..

    And I agree..we have a bright future..and you can call him a loser if you want..but we will be back.

    I liked JVG's stuff..saying you can watch this game and see what we need to fix..a point guard..quickness/speed lack of it and rebounding

    TMac was just mentally and physically exhausted.


    He basically carried the entire team. Even assuming we won, we would never have survived the games against Phoenix, SA, and/or Miami/Detroit

    He has a lot to be proud off, and he had the entire 4th QTR to feel crushed.

    Kodos for the guy for having class in front of the camera.

    Easier said then done but we need another pitbull perimeter guy to go along with Tracy. Tracy needs a Scottie Pippen type of sidekick to help on D.

    I didn't get the feeling he was too happy in the postgame, he was showing confidence and resilience after the loss. He was showing that this loss won't bring him down, that the loser label doesn't bother him.

    I shudder to think if we build young athletic smart players around Tracy and Yao that makes the game easier for them. That is the next great challenge for JVG and CD.

    And you'd better believe him.

    Tracy has grown a lot this year, and it's scary to think that he'll get even better. Remember, Jordan didn't win his first championship until age 28.

    We will be back.

    I would love to have Mobley back. I'd tell you who I'd like to have as a PF but there isnt really anyone out there that I can think of. Maybe Kenyon Martin but I know that isnt happening. I keep thinking of someone in the Antoinne Carr type of mold. A badass, enforcer type of PF that can play defense and board.

    You bet I would take Mobley back at the right price. He runs, can stick the 3 and plays defense. He played pretty well in his one year under JVG.

    I love TMac's post game comments.

    He was smiling because HE KNOWS!

    HE KNOWS he has a bright future. He knows that this team was undermanned and we STILL took Dallas to 7 games. This wasn't supposed to happen. The Mavs were supposed to "sweep us."

    Imagine our team with Mavs-type-depth! :eek: Do the Mavs think they could beat us then? I think not.

    We'll be back. Better, faster, stronger....(cue 6-Million Dollar man theme song!)

    "I will have the last laugh." - TMac

    I was down when the game ended, but hearing his quotes on NBATV postgame makes me want next season to start NOW!
