Tracy McGrady Is ‘Foaming At The Mouth’
April 20, 2009 – 8:45 am by Tas Melas

Tracy McGrady might finally get out of the first round… while he’s on the injured list.

The Rockets have taken a 1-0 lead on the Blazers in the 1st round but The Mac has had season ending surgery and will enjoy his first series victory halfheartedly if it comes.

His pick for the title:

“Lakers. (Host: That easy, again?) It’s no knock on Cleveland, I think Cleveland’s gonna get there… Cleveland to me is really not that good. If you take what the Celtics did last year… You knew, they were either gonna get to the finals, or they were gonna win it. You can’t really say the same thing about the Cavaliers. Although, they had the best record in the league this year, a lot of people like, ‘Okay, they havin’ a great year, but we don’t know if they can win the championship.’ They really didn’t do anything on the road with the elite teams in the league, they lost, they had a bad record when they went to face the elite teams in the league. I think they’re a good team, but I don’t they’re ready to take the next step.”

The toughest player to stop:

“No doubt. Kobe. No doubt. The man is just a fierce competitor, he tries to rip your heart out no matter who he plays night in and night out. ‘Bron is one of them guys, he gets buckets, but he also is an unselfish player. Kobe? Nah. He trying to take your heart. He gonna get it. And, he’s gonna shoot 30 or 35 times to get it.”

[Indazone]

dumbass, if he's still on the Rockets he should never go out in the press and say another team is going to win it all.

[Kori Ellis]

What a loser. Even if he thinks Lakers will win it, you don't say that when your own team still has a horse in the race.

:td

[timvp]

lol rockets

[DPG21920]

This just in: "Ginobili picks the Rockets to win it all"

[Spurtacus]

He's doing his best to not be a Rocket next season.

Ironically Rockets will make it out of the first round this year.

[Spursfan092120]

That's some serious bad karma for McGrady...what a douchebag.

[BUMP]

i cant believe this

could you imagine KG picking the Cavs to win it all?

[Mugen]

having mcgrady pick a champion is like having clay aiken judge a miss america pageant.

[Indazone]

T-Mac never could keep his mouth shut. "Oh, my shoulder hurts and so does my knee, I've never had any superstar teammates to play with, it's on me, ya'll hit me when I'm down but I'll be back! This guy throws himself and his teammates in front of the bus more than Kobe ever did.

[ginobili's bald spot]

:lol Ouch Rockets.

[Ghazi]

Not a bad prediction.

[Lp26]

This is one of those times you keep your mouth shut, T-Mac :lol

[z0sa]

:lol that's ... that's just horrible.

[Typhoon]

What a fag...but really not surprising considering how big of a loser this guy is.

Fuck Mcgrady Rockets are way better without him.

[KSeal]

Good choice TMac.

[Obstructed_View]

Wow. Just...wow.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

So they win game 1 on the road by 30, become the favorites to play the Lakers in round 2 and this choker goes out and tells the world how much he likes Lakers' chances over the team paying him over 20 mil a year? WTF?

[Kai]

Tracy has a habit of saying what everyone's obviously thinking, even if he shouldn't be saying it. He just needs to keep his mouth shut. It's like he doesn't even consider the Rockets his team anymore.

[onarollbaby]

Tmac is praying that the Rockets will lose in the 1st round coz he's on the injured list. He is a team player indeed.

[icem]

well..... hes probably right. i dont see why rocket fans are getting so butt hurt.

the rockets lucked up and drew the one team they can beat in the first round, but they are nowhere near elite and will lose to the lakers in 5 games tops.

only and injury will stop the lakers. at the beginning of the season i thought the cavs could maybe challenge them since before this season the cavs have been a problem for the lake show, but the two embarrassing losses to the lakers in the regular season make me think otherwise.

[Rapper]

I pick t-mac for the most gay player in NBA

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'd root for the scenario of Rockets eliminating the Lakers to make it to the Finals and play the Cavs...they will bring this shit up so much on ESPN...talk about awkward....Both Lebron and his teammates will gang up on him....:lmao

I wonder if the Rockets were to win the championship if the team can deny giving T-Mac his ring..

[Kamnik]

What a douchebag. He just cemented his reputation as a LOOSER!

The rockets wining it all, (somehow Kobe and Lebron sprain their ankles :P ) would be SWEET as hell just to see an expresion on his stupid looser face.

[Kamnik]

I wonder if the Rockets were to win the championship if the team can deny giving T-Mac his ring..

Hell no!

I would find it FUNNY as hell for him to recieve a ring that he didnt deserve at all. Furthermore for him to recieve a ring when the best thing he could do for his team and their chances is NOT PLAY.

I think he would become an official joke around the NBA... :lol

[Artest93]

Well, if the rockets get out of the first round, it will be official that he was a curse on this team. He may have just cursed the Lakers by opening his mouth. But you don't pick a team to win it while YOUR team is still in it. Mcdouchebag has played his last game as a rocket

[Many PackYao]

well..... hes probably right. i dont see why rocket fans are getting so butt hurt.

You mean like the Spurs did last year?:lol

[KSeal]

You mean like the Spurs did last year?:lol

Prepare for a mass of Spurm fans bitching about referring.

[Tracy McGrady]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!?
I never said those things... I hate the Lakers!! My Houston will win it all, not those bitches from LA!
Someone is really screwing with me, fuck!

[hater]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Spursmania]

:lmaoWow- he went out on a limb:lmao

[DaDakota]

He needs to go away.

DD

[LeCrab]

We all make mistakes and I think Tracy got the wrong end of the bargain. I read the quote ten times after the games and it's clearly a good quote. So you live with it. He made a crab prediction which is a hesitation prediction and then some drivel. And everybody you all guys can read it. The bad part was that he said Kobe is the toughest player to stop but at least he said I wasn't shellfish.

[Bob Lanier]

Sorry, Spurs, but you've had your run and this makes me bump Houston up a notch.

God damn! I didn't even notice this character until now. The sig! :lmao

[Extra Stout]

Vintage McQuitter.

[romsey31]

good job tmac, must feel great to know ur franchise player has absolutely no faith in yah

[1Parker1]

:lol I think McGrady knows his time in Houston is up....

[Kamnik]

:lol I think McGrady knows his time in Houston is up....

If i was a Houston fan and McGrady steps on the court again for them i would boo him 2 hours non stop, even if i drop dead after it.

[ElNono]

On the positive side, you can't question his honesty...

But it does suck for Rockets fans, and it's hilarious for fans of other teams... :lol

[it's me]

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc11/joejam414/Signature%20pictures/LeCrab.gif


:lmao

[The Franchise]

He says this, and then says he is going to be at playoff games.....to support his team. :rolleyes

[Artest93]

I can't even imagine how awkward it would be if mcgrady suits up for the rockets next year...anyway, I bet he didn't think he would make news like this

http://slamonline.com/online/nba/2009/04/t-mac-on-houstons-title-hopes-or-lack-thereof/

[Artest93]

Actually, he alledgedly is coming to the game on friday...He should expect full blast booing

[IronMexican]

I'd be really fucking pissed if I ever heard any injured Laker pick another team to win it all.

[DAF86]

Actually, he alledgedly is coming to the game on friday...He should expect full blast booing

To do what? pretend like he wants the Rockets to win.

[Artest93]

Goddamn it, Artest now knows what mcdouchebag said, hopefully he doesn't go into lock and load mode tonight....

[Artest93]

To do what? pretend like he wants the Rockets to win.


Basically......I wouldn't be surprised if he was banned from the building

[TheMACHINE]

T-Mac speaks the truth, but shouldn't have been said untill after the Rockets get swept by the Lakers next round.

[redzero]

Lmao

[JoeTait75]

McFailure just gave the Lake Show the kiss of death.

[Artest93]

McFailure just gave the Lake Show the kiss of death.

:lmao

[Artest93]

And he motivates Lebron even more in the process

[Tracy McGrady]

I'm a good guy. Why does nobody like me? :(

[DDS4]

No wonder the Rockets play better without him.

[Chris Fall]

I'm a good guy. Why does nobody like me? :(

I know a thing or two about a fall from grace.

[mytespurs]

You mean like the Spurs did last year?:lol

Yes...that something both Texas teams may have in common. :hat

[mytespurs]

When I first read his comments, I was like "meh", he's only repeating the popular opinion by many of the talking heads and media people.....but it is kind of tacky to say that when your team is still in the hunt and will have to face these same lakers if they prevail. He could've said it a different way-acknowledge that the Lakers are the favorites yet show support towards your team. After all, anything can happen (highly unlikely but one can never say never). :)

[La Peace]

I'm a good guy. Why does nobody like me? :(
lmao

[Obstructed_View]

well..... hes probably right. i dont see why rocket fans are getting so butt hurt.

He couldn't even be loyal to his team when they were coming off a huge playoff win and playing great ball. Imagine if Manu did that.

[resistanze]

And he's being paid 23 million to massage his knees.

[jack sommerset]

Wow. What a jerk move.

[BRHorent45]

sons, this mcgrady hopes his team doesnt get out of the first round cuz he will feel even more dickless if they do, sons!

[sook]

not a huge deal. He just said what pretty much everybody else has been saying...

[poop]

I know a thing or two about a fall from grace.

hahaha good work:hat

[The Franchise]

This shouldn't come as a surprise. He has never shown loyalty to any team or teammates. Luckily, this is the last year it will be a concern for the Rockets.

[djohn2oo8]

Trade him to a team looking for an expiring contract, and get an athletic wing in return if they can find one

[Thomas82]

he's doing his best to not be a rocket next season.

Ironically rockets will make it out of the first round this year.

+1

[Spursfan092120]

“Lakers. (Host: That easy, again?) It’s no knock on Cleveland, I think Cleveland’s gonna get there… Cleveland to me is really not that good. If you take what the Celtics did last year… You knew, they were either gonna get to the finals, or they were gonna win it. You can’t really say the same thing about the Cavaliers.

Although, they had the best record in the league this year, a lot of people like, ‘Okay, they havin’ a great year, but we don’t know if they can win the championship.’ They really didn’t do anything on the road with the elite teams in the league, they lost, they had a bad record when they went to face the elite teams in the league. I think they’re a good team, but I don’t they’re ready to take the next step.”

i don't get him ... first he says the cavs aren't that good, then he says they're a good team.

not only does he contradict himself, he also underrates the Cavs by just calling them good . no team that has done what they've done this year and are expected to do in the playoffs is just good . they are a great team . where's the due respect from him ?


The toughest player to stop:

“No doubt. Kobe. No doubt. The man is just a fierce competitor, he tries to rip your heart out no matter who he plays night in and night out. ‘Bron is one of them guys, he gets buckets, but he also is an unselfish player. Kobe? Nah. He trying to take your heart. He gonna get it. And, he’s gonna shoot 30 or 35 times to get it.”

this bothers me . i remember reading an article where they asked Bruce who his toughest player to guard was, and he didn't answer . why ? because there's a possibility it can give who over it is he's guarding a mental edge . tmac has had his toughness and competiveness questioned before ... i think these comments support those claims .

as for the part where he says LA is the best team ... i don't neccessarily agree with him saying that . it can give them a mental edge . although it can be a double-edged sword - he could just be trying to goad his players, and they may very well respond in a good way . however, the tactic can backfire.

by the way ... Pop said the Lakers were the best team while he was being interviewed at halftime in the Cavs game (the last one) ... he didn't come out and say specifically that they were going to win the ring , but he implied it . if your going to criticize Tmac for his comments, maybe Pop warrants some too for saying what he said .

[SouthTexasRancher]

TMac wouldn't know a Championship if it bit him in the ass.

What's his prediction for whether or not he'll ever actually play a 2nd round game?

[Mark in Austin]

what a cunt.

[Chris Fall]

I'll take T-Mac's fragile back and knees over Peja's bitch ass.

[angelbelow]

wow, thats not cool at all.

[sribb43]

T-mac is a tool. If I was Rockets fan i'd never want this guy to play on my team again. He is the new Antoine Walker

Except Antoine Walker has a ring.

[sook]

Am I the only one that thinks this fucker is going to bolt to the lakers some time soon? :lol

Earlier this season he said he would after this contract.

[Lp26]

Artest's response;


Rockets forward Ron Artest refuses to believe that injured teammate Tracy McGrady has picked the Lakers to win the NBA Championship.

"He picked us," Artest told The Carmichael Dave show on KHTK.

The host fired back with: "No, he didn't. He picked the Lakers."

"No, he didn't," Artest insisted. "Tracy didn't say that, you know, he didn't say that. He didn't say that... I think that guy who said that wasn't Tracy, it was a look-alike. I just got a text, it was a look alike... He's got total confidence in us."
