T-Mac's 4th Quarter Struggles
Posted: Sat Feb 7, 2009 9:28 am
T-Mac has never been a clutch player in terms of hitting shots at the buzzer at the end of games and stuff like that , but this year's 4th quarter struggles are not because he is not clutch imo.
T-Mac barely scores in the 2nd quarter and barely scores in the 4th quarter , because he plays only half a quarter.
He plays all the 1st and 3rd quarters , and then sits until the 6 minute mark in the 2nd and 4th quarter sometimes even more.
We try to get it to Yao and we should , so Tracy can't get many shots and he is not in rythm.
IMO Adelman needs to change it up a bit , don't play T-Mac the whole quarter , take him out after 9 or 10 minutes and let him play 7 or 8 minutes in the 2nd quarter and 4th quarter especially.
Adelman like giving the players those long rests and it's not good imo , with the break between the quarters , and sitting half of the quarter they are out of rythm and have little time to do anything.
Maybe play T-Mac the whole 1st quarter , but only 9 minutes in the 3rd , we need our best players to play more in the 4th quarter.
Sorry that I wrote so much , it's because of my poor english , thoughts?
