Kobe has these type of nights. His arrogance in the past few seasons where he wouldn't adjust even if his jumper wasn't working cost the Laker' a few game (9-33 against the spurs). However, the bad shooting nights from Kobe this season have come as a result of his out of sorts Jumper, He has been suffering from Knee Tendinitis and an injured on arm which has effected his jumper. He is missing shots he usually makes in his sleep. It hasn't come as a result of bad shot selection like Tmac at times has been known for. I think if that deal happened it would help team both ways. A passive superstar next to Odom would let him thrive while having a killer on Houston would be deadly. Kobe wouldn't be missing those pull up jumpers tmac usually misses.
This is false.Tracy took it upon himself to kill all rythym that the TEAM built from the first half.Shane was knocking down threes, so was steve francis,Yao played well in the low post when he got the ball. Tracy in the second half for whatever reason came out and played ME,1 ON 5 basketball period,point blank.
GOSH! Stop hating so much on TMac you friggin YOFs!!! If its not his FG%, its his not attacking the basket or its because he is lazy on the defensive end or because he didn't get his teammates involved?!!! This is all BS. People can have off nights like this, even Yao has off nights. Speaking of shooting%, Yao's FG% sucks big time compared to all the other elite centers in the league like Dwight, Amare, Shaq etc.!!!!!! With that aside, how do you explain Yao getting 6 friggin rebounds in this game?!! It was horrible, lazy effort by Yao. He really should be the last one to call out his teammates for playing with no heart!?!?!
EXACTLY... I am starting to hate the way T-Mac plays. He can KILL any semblance of team basketball. Waving people off, shooting contested shot after shot, driving to the basket recklessly throwing up wild shots... We started shooting so well as a team and then all of a sudden, T-Mac woke up and thought "crap my stats aren't good enough, time to go crazy"... This isn't even the first time he has done this. So many of the previous games we played great team basketball in first half, everyone had touches and was shooting well. But then coming out to second half he starts shooting it every time he touches the ball because he needs to get "his points" or at least "his assist". Its like he NEEDS people to see how great he is. Sometimes it works great but in all honestly, we have enough weapons that he doesn't need to go all macho on us and we could still win comfortably. He can say he doesn't care about stats all he wants, his play so far in this season proves.....T-Mac=STAT w****.
Who was guarding Tracy? I think he saw mismatch and eyes lit up, unfortunately it was his nights even against the scrubs. Like I said before 5 straight possions with Tmac shooting is not a good thing, even if he makes all of them. It's bad for many reasons. The Tmac ball is about what our record is, a 500 ball club. Adelman, where is your offense. This job aint that easy.

I swear these TMOF's will still be holding onto Tmac's jockstrap... when he is 45 he wont win a scoring title again... and if he does... we will be in the lottery for sure... awhen he is 45 there will still be an excuse... why Tmac cant get out of the first round... let alone win it all... but then again... Tmac would have gotten out of the 1st round his second year... if he didnt leave Toronto... just because he had to be the main man...
