So does anyone sort of feel like T-Mac is pulling a move like Malone joining the Lakers?

He didn't even play in this series other than a few garbage minutes in which he looked terrible.
Congratulations to T-Mac!!!!
Congrats T-Mac for riding the Spurs coat tails. Took so much effort and dedication, I'm sure..
Would be nice to give him the Michael Finley treatment.
After KG and Pau, its good to see another great player pass the first round. Too bad he joined the Spurs too late.
At least it's better than with the Rockets in '09 when he was injured.
he looked terrible in the time he played... hopefully its just jitters or something like that.
I never get tired of your sig, phyzik
Are Spurs fans really this dense?
1) He looked terrible? Really? A guy that was not in the NBA until the Spurs signed him this year, has not been working out too much, has no idea about the system and was playing with all the Spurs bench looked terrible? Shocking.
2) Riding Spurs coattail? The Spurs called him. He was playing in China before the Spurs called. Some of yall are just shockingly dense.
Not at all. He was only signed as an insurance policy.
for a potatoe couch, he looked pretty mobile MIO
Yeah, he looked bad. I don't care for the excuses as I'm sure he has his reasons for looking terrible but truth is he didn't look like someone who could meaningfully contribute to this team at this point. The thread is about T-Mac getting out of the first round and technically he did but he did so by riding the Spurs coat tails. If he didn't exist there would have been absolutely no difference in the result of this series or this game.
Lets not forget, he wasn't guarding SFs/PFs out there and still had good hands to swipe the ball away twice.
Thought he looked pretty good, all things considered.
Obviously he's got a ways to go conditioning-wise, and just getting more reps to find a rhythm. But had a few nice swipes, made a couple good plays out of the pick-and-roll for Blair and Baynes... Definitely be nice to have someone with that much size and talent, even at this stage of his career, coming off the bench to give Pop another look.
Not holding my breath, but it'd be nice.
he looked tall out there. that counts for a lot IMO
It was garbage time, he got a steal and deflected another ball on D, looked somewhat mobile, passing was decent. What more do you expect from our 15th man? He's better than every perimeter guy the Lakers put out there tonight.
Not sure what all the hate is about. Saw a handful of good plays from him in his meager amount of minutes. If Baynes had hands, he would have had 2 assists off of sweet dimes. Also stripped the ball a couple times. Definitely looked good.
I think T-Mac looked decent out there. He had a couple good passes and steals. His turnovers were bad, but to be expected considering the cir stances. What concerned me was his mobility. He looked much quicker than I had anticipated.
If your victory cigar is Tmac... I think you're doing just fine.
Let's see where everyone is if TMac were to hit the winning basket in the closeout game of the next series. Give the guy a break. It takes every player a good while to get indoctrinated into Pop's style. When Splitter and Diaw come back we may not see any more of TMac. But, I would like to see at least one late game shooting spree by him just for the heck of it.
Did he your sister or something?
Tracy McGrady could be retired and living on a beach somewhere lighting up with $100 bills but he went and played basketball in China, and played well enough that Gregg Popovich asked him to join the team. It's not like he begged to join the Spurs, or was traded here on luck, and I'm sure he realizes that no matter what the Spurs do this year, his legacy will largely remain the same.
I'm happy for T-Mac. He was a great player who caught some bad breaks, and now it can no longer be said that he never made it out of the first round, regardless of the cir stances.
