"Me-Mac" by Mike Bianchi This column is so petty it sets a new standard for venom and hatefulness. No comment on his great postseason. No comment on how he shut down Dirk. No comment on how good a passer T-Mac is. No comment on the fact the Mavs had more talent. I'm glad people in Orlando are stuck with this guy. He and Weisbrod are made for each other. I was in Orlando last week for a conference and didn't get the chance to read the whole Sentinel, but it must be a 3rd rate newspaper to have a buffoon like this as a columnist. macfan, or anyone else from Orlando, is there any reason why you would want to read this drivel? How do this guy keep a job? Is he some kind of local "icon" who people revere?
He's not an icon or an excellent writer. It's quite the opposite. The reason he keeps writing for the Sentinel is the fact that he's a w**** for controversy. I guess readers are compelled by controversies and juicy subjects. He is a completely unethical writer. I told him that in an email and so did many callers on a radio show. He's a total loser and you won't believe how poor his use of the English language is. Fact of the matter is he does not reflect the opinions of Orlando fans. He's been taking shots at T-Mac for the past year and a half and I have learned to ignore this high school level writer. His references of Memac are completelly unfounded and stupid. People in Orlando never thought T-mac was selfish. Even writers did not. It's just this one bozo that makes these stupid claims. If anything, people wanted Tracy to take more charge of games and get on his teammates. Tracy matured in Houston as far as leadership goes, but it wasn't like that was a flaw of his in Orlando. It's called getting older and wiser and more experienced. Mike Bianchi is a w**** for attention and he'll do anything to start a controversy where there is none. His articles have the same theme: He's a hateful, jealous, petty, obnoxious little man with an IQ of a melon. When Francis leaves, he'll do the same thing. Bottomline is T-Mac was the best performer in the playoffs for three years running. He had more help in Houston, but at the same time the West is a lot tougher and the first round matchup was a challenge. I have no doubt he will retire as a Rocket and a Hall of Famer. He and Yao will take the Rockets to the next level.
I need to quote you completely because this is the kind of stuff we yearn to hear from towns who have lost the players they once loved. Thanks for taking time to write this! Awesome, mcfan.
Agree, good stuff macfan. I guess it says it all that Orlando fans themselves are turning against this columnist. Any rational thinker would be repulsed by this guy, whether or not they are McGrady or Rockets fans. I think sports journalism is general is going down the toilet. Every idiotic small town sports writer wants to always go for the sensational in hopes of becoming the next Stephen A. Smith
BTW, guys, SR610 are talking about the Mike Bianchi article on the air right now! Apparently they recieved e-mails and stuff about this guy and they are going to comment on it some more. One e-mailer to the show said "What would you get if you combine a pile or turd and Mike Bianchi? You get a bigger pile of turd" Tune in guys, John & Lance read this board, so they might comment on some of the things.
Sour grapes writer because his team was victim of one of the all time rape/pillages. Actually, twice, counting the Mobley for Christie trade. In the words of Clayton Williams, if its inevitable, he should just relax and enjoy it. Sorry about the insensitivity, but articles like that just make me .
With what, a 40 year old David Wesley and a decaying core? The Rockets have every bit as much building to do as do the Magic. The Rockets have two "superstars" and no young role players; the Magic have three stars and two good young role players. And what did McMac do in the playoffs? Right, nothing. What does it get the Rockets for their troubles? Nothing. He brought all of the criticism upon himmself and until the Rockets win a title - IF they win a title - it's going to keep coming. You knew it, he knows it, the Rockets know it. Orlando would've been in the playoffs were it not for injuries to basically everyone but Dwight Howard on the squad and an imcompetent coach who got fired late in the year.
Right. The 4 seed from the West with its two superstars under age 26 that nearly beat the 58 win team has the same amount of rebuilding as the team that was 10th in east with 36 wins. Oookay. I'll keep in mind 31-7-7, 3 blocks+steals on better than 45% shooting, and being the primary reason the guy who was 3rd in the league in MVP voting shoots 35% and plays like garbage in the series is nothing. Seriously, did they alter the feed in Orlando to show Tracy playing no defense and jacking up bad shots or something? Cry me a river. You were 10 games under .500! And we would've beaten Dallas if Juwan Howard doesn't go down to fluke injury. Didn't one of your stars have a meltdown in that midst? Remind me again how those "stars" have done in the playoffs? You do realize that Grant Hill and Steve Francis have combined to win 5 playoff games?
Go to an Orlando Magic forum. Oh, wait, there is no Orlando forum. Quit hating and enjoy the lottery, cause that's where you're going to be with Sissybrod and Steve no.
Ya know...if T-mac really is made of similar stuff as Jordon... Then someone calling him a loser should only result in motivating him. If anything, we should be thankful that people and writers are doing this, after all, it can only help us.
I don't think T-Mac is reading these comments to get motivated. This is Rockets forum, not some jackass's site to spew his hate on the Rockets
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! God you are pathetic! The magic couldn't even make it into the playoffs in the Leastern conference and you have the moronic idea that you have, excuse me, 3 stars?!?!? Oh, but it was the coach's fault that your players sucked...OMG. Do yourself a favor and quit posting here, b/c you look more and more delusional with each passing keystroke. The Magic's fate rests on a rookie who's will be great (but not yet) but that's about all you have. The rockets have Tmac and Yao and replaceable role players. Listen MofoClark, I know you're still bitter that your GM has S*^T for brains but that doesn't mean you should take on his traits...
Wow...just wow. mfclark thinking he has any credibility left, or that anything he posts is going to mean anything here any more. Amazing.
Right, and the Rockets should have won 60 games if it weren't for injuries. So what's your point? I agree Orlando has a heck of a young player in Dwight Howard, the kid is going to be an awesome player, no question about it. They do have a nice young team, and they will likely make the playoffs without much trouble next season. But to say or imply that they somehow have a better future than the Rockets with TWO superstars for years to come is just delusional. You are also correct that the Rockets have a LOT of rebuilding of the cast of role players currently surrounding T-Mac and Yao. But again, it is much easier to fill in the gaps for role players than it is to acquire a foundation on two of the top players in the league. We have that part down, now we have to go to work and improve our depth, or otherwise we won't be able to overcome talented teams like the Mavs or the Spurs, Pistons, or Pacers, or Suns, etc. We MUST improve our depth, that is a HUGE part of winning games in the playoff, when you can play 10 guys who can all contribute and give you the flexibility to mix and match according to the situation. I think that was CLEARLY what hurt the Rockets most against the Mavs this postseason
LOL! Exactly! In a twisted kind of way, I LOVE the fact that there are writers who are calling McGrady things like loser and selfish and MeMac and other stuff. They guy will be very pissed the more people pile up on him. So in a way, I hope this hatred continues. In fact, can someone please print all this guy's articles and mail them to McGrady's residence?
Damn, talk about bitter! Enjoy the lottery Orlando! And enjoy watching your team get gutted this offseason.
You're on crack if you really believe that the Rockets have more building then the Magic. Lets see, the Rockets have the 2nd best center in the league and one of the Top 5 players in the league to build around and they have more rebuilding. If you had a brain and used it you would have saw that all the Rockets had to do was drop a few role-players in there and the Rockets soared. That's because of T-Mac and Yao, you know, the two superstars who are in their mid-20s? Orlando woulda, coulda, shoulda, the bottomline is that your Orlando Magic suck, and they will suck for a long time. 3 superstars!? Where? If you had one superstar in there you would have beaten out the freaking New Jersey Nets for a playoff spot. Crappy coaching doesn't cause a "talented" team to collapse. 3 superstars!!!!!????? 2 Good young role-players?
