If they really think that, that would most absurb mindset. Without TMac, Yao can achieve nothing (the same goes to Tmac too). They are the best one-two punch in the league right now. If you really want to argue who is more important, at least wait till they have won 3 rings.
Good form means that he is putting his mind into playing offense and defense - to drive relentlessly to the hole and taking over when necessary. He may still be a very good player when he only takes jump shots, but I'm not satisfied with that, especially with him being our supposedly best player and leader on the floor
I don't know man where you get this, but TMac said he wanted to play against Portland and JVG didn't let him. You must have some information even TMac does not..
There both important and i wouldnt trade anyone of them. i tottaly agree without eachother, they will be inferior players.
Unless you watch enough Laker games then you have no idea what Im talking about which you don't. So, Tex Winters goes on to say
Kobe can play good defense, but he doesn't on a nightly basis...kind of like T-Mac. Not very many people in the league can slow down or stop Dirk, but we have one of them. But before we worry about Dirk, we have to get out the first round.
and did he do a good job? tmac penetrated at will. and it wasn't b/c of kobe that he missed shots. he missed like 4-5 layups in the first quarter alone. it was a bad shooting stretch for him. had tmac just make 42% that night, he would have had a bigger night offensively. again, kobe's an "intense" defesively player, but don't let intensity fool you. people get around him very easily nowadays.
He wanted to play, JVG told him no because Tmac said he was hurt in the GS game. IMHO, JVG was making a point. If you beg out of a game because of injury, then the team is going to assume you are really hurt and wait until you can practice to put you back in the game. At the end of the day it is hurting the team....and it is the players decision. DD
and wasn't t-mac getting any shot he wanted. even drove by him easily and and-1 dunked it on a laker big. next thing you'll be telling me that 6-1 derrick fisher really was locking him down and he wasn't missing shots that someone of his stature should easily make. this kings game was the firs time he's shot over 45% in a long time.
exactly. mac went through a bad shooting streak. had he shot bad yesterday, u would have said artest shut him down . tmac has been getting through guys w/ ease. but for some reason, he didn't want to drive v. the jazz.
Well, you could see he was just conserving his energy on offense, because it was technically Kobe vs Yao/T-mac.
And you know this how..honestly, unless you're an insider, you could'nt possibly know if tracy was faking it against the warriors. he pulled up stiff and the rockets staff wisely decided not to risk him.
OP = El Stupido Grande Y Mas Fabuloso Idiota! (obviously I don't speak spanish, but these were the words which coursed through my brain upon seeing the first post in this thread)
your opinion again... you imagined a stupid coach: he wanted to make a point to his star player that is why rox lost an easy win, which will turn out to kill us in playoff, great. and from tracy's interview after practice on 4/7, you can clearly see he didn't get the coach's "point". he thought the coach cared too much about his health. this is so funny. and again you think this is tracy's fault somehow. even if your imagination is true, this is mainly on the coach.
I second that!! Rockets without TMAC are an average team at best! The dude can score, pass and rebound. What else do people want him to do?
After a second thought, there are scenarios where trading TMAC makes sense, like getting KG for one. TMAC is good and I like to see him only as a Rocket, but getting KG would make the team better, much better.
how would getting KG make this team better? KG is a post player just like Yao. it's getting like two good point guards. u only have one ball!
