I've never started a thread on this site, heck i rarely post. But watching tonight's game, I have to get this off my chest. Never have I ever wanted to b*tch slap a player more than T-Mac. This s.o.b. is the reason for this ugly lackadaisical basketball. I wish someone could post that screenshot of T-Mac's face after Bullard and Worrell were ripping him a new one. That is THE T-Mac face. Is there a bigger premadonna in the NBA? Doubtful. That offensive set where ole Me-Mac just stood at half court while we played 4 on 5 was quintessential Mac. Dude, just doesn't care. Doesn't try. Doesn't give any effort. If the play ain't for him, he's gonna stand in a corner and fiddle with his vulva. He's why people loathe professional athletes. And Adelman let's him off too easy. Heck, Adelman let's everyone off too easy. Is there any accountability anymore? Imagine if Greg Poppovich were coaching this team? Would we have seen the lackluster effort from our starters go on for so long tonight? Again, doubtful. My pop's been saying it for years but now, but if we want to do anything this year, dude needs a rude awakening. Bench him, maybe he'll shape up. If he doesn't (wouldn't surprise me), trade him. Waive him. Guy is a cancer. And while maybe you can't cure it, you can definitely undergo chemo.
i normally just read the board but tonight watching the game its becoming pathetic. something is going on and we as rox fan want to know. why is tmac even playing anymore it is very clear he doesnt care about basketball anymore. with about 5 min left in the game the camera pans to Yao and i have never seen Yao look so mad...ever...WTF????
This is what I am talking about. Ridiculous trade scenarios are getting out of hand on this board. You could have done a little research on Big Mac's value before your suggestion... Big Mac is a legend.
Seriously trade TMAC! Im tired of his sorry ass.. 25 years of watching Rockets ball I had enough of watching Tracy Mclady hurting our team like that.
Adelman needs to start demanding some accountability from everyone. You let McGrady get away with what he has gotten away with and your players stop taking you seriously. Von Wafer is sitting on the bench while McGrady gets to start to just stand around. He can't play any worse defense than McGrady does.
LOL at Feigan's opening sentence... "As Raptors forward Jamario Moon flew to a fast-break slam while Tracy McGrady slowly jogged along as if providing a secret service escort, the Rockets finally achieved something. They had gained admirable balance. They were as useless defensively as offensively." http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/6191744.html
Agreed. T-Mac, of course, will blame it on injuries and pull the "I shouldn't even be playing right now but here I am, playing through pain" card. He'll act like its all physical and nothing to do his lack of mental toughness AKA heart.
It's all my fault.... I picked him way too high in my fantasy league. Curse me for thinking that having Ron would make his life easier and would thrive.
Well doesn't have a night off tomorrow or something maybe that will help Rocket River . . .welcome to the land of Maybes and hopes
