I respect TMac for speaking the truth:

LOL, well at least he acknowledges that his shot has been horrendous. He needs to get off his lazy ass and work with a shooting trainer.

As for Yao's performance today, yes it was truly pathetic, but how many times do we see these kind of games from Yao? Yao is our most consistent player. Tmac on the other hand for every good game he has, he'll go 4/15 the next 3.

change the title to Tmac: "i suck this past few weeks"

Its funny how you guys only care about points. I highly doubt that our defense would have been as good as it was if Yao wasn't in the paint. I highly doubt guys would get open looks if McGrady didn't have the ball in his hands. There is more to this game than scoring. McGrady has been struggling with his shot but thats it. When the ball is his hands everything for everyone else is opened up.

Yao is off and on..mostly off on the road but is very good at home. And his defense and rebounding have improved tremendously. Stop worrying about the points or how bad our guys shoot. Scoring for those two come easily and they'll get it together eventually. Why not talk about the other things they do that we can't win without?

I agree, the presence of the guy help the team a lot, i don't care if he keeps doing 6 of 22 if we keep winning with scola, wells, landry or alston all scoring some points.

That's good move.

He is frustrated cause he's been strugglin' for past several games. Now I belive he'll play only better and better

But you know what, he got good shoots against Cavs he just wasn't makin' it. I only hope it will come now, his jumper.

And hell I'm really happy with his agressivness. He got 8 ft, that's not enough but it was a lot better. He was drivin' a lot, makin hook shoots, layups, etc. I like that.

i knew it.. the most likely way for a shooter of tmac's caliber to go on such a drought is a lack of confidence, which snowballs every bad game (shooting-wise). t-mac will shake out of it, without a doubt.

Look at it this way. Remember how we used to complain how the team never turned it on when TMac was playing. Guess what, problem solved. Rafer and company are clicking on all cylinders despite TMac and Yao not rolling 100%. We have a complete team guys, enjoy our reign.

"I have been sucking for the past two months"

see
you guys are killing his confident
the guy (Alston) you guys critized so much in the last 2 years had outplayed him
you guys are making him think that he suck so bad

He's been strugglin' since Home game against Cavs (he had had great 2 road games before that).Actually I think he played pretty well in the 2nd half of Cavs' game (13 pts, 4/8 fg, even 8 ft attempts).

The team is winin' but we really need Tracy to score his 20+ points a night. I'm sure his shoot will come, and I hope it will come back soon.

Sucking was his job for the past few weeks...

We don't need him to score 20+ points every night. I just want to see him play with more intensity on both ends of the floor, and that includes taking good shots, and playing tough defense.

I am not asking much here, he needs to act like he actually cares.

He is the best ball handler we have.

Wrong, that is Rafer by a LONG shot.

People always say we don't need or want him to score 20 or above. But why the hell not?

We want him to play to his strength. His main strength is scoring. We need him to be an aggressive scorer, because then it's even more pressure on the opposing defense.

Yeah, but when he's not scoring 20+, he's gotta contribute to other parts of the game e.g.: PLAYING DEFENSE.

Tmac gets discouraged too easily. Just be aggressive and stop taking all those jumpers.
