An assist,a couple steals...not bad.
lmao, calm down asshole
An assist,a couple steals...not bad.
No, because when Malone joined the Lakers that year they became the heavy favorite to win the championship. This year, nobody is beating Miami. But at least he might get a Western Conference Championship ring!
What's with all this animosity towards Tmac? "Bawww he's riding our coattails" Who cares? He hasn't done anything to deserve this kind of reaction. We called him. Not the other way around.
And he's grotesquely out of shape because his season ended in February. It shouldn't be a surprise that he was moving slowly out there. And, he hasn't had any time to pick up the system. And, he played like 2 minutes in garbage time. Hardly enough to judge what he might be able to contribute later on when he's in shape.
And, he was brought in to be "insurance" from the start.
The animosity towards Tmac is mind boggling.
Those that are crapping on TMac are the same type that crap on our other players too... It makes no sense to me, why a Spurs fan would crap on any of our players.... Go find another team s.
we need a tmac spurs highlight reel from those 5 minutes tbh
I don't understand you guys. Why be a fan of a team you have absolutely no confidence in? The most idiotic thing ever smh
I thought he did ok out here. Had some nice pokes on D and looked pretty mobile.
it'd be one thing if he was just a no-name trying to ride his way into a championship or something
but t-mac was one of the greats. he deserved better playoff results than he got.
so this is just like some 'better late than never' justice in my opinion
I like how Pop didn't take any chances and didn't play TMac till the series was over. I expect more TMac in the second round now.
For a guy who hasn't been in a basketball game in months, he looked pretty damn good on defense, and he drew a load of attention and turned it into a nice assist. With the emergence (explosion) of Cory Joseph, there's probably not any way Tmac gets on the floor outside of garbage time or injuries. I'm glad to see him get a couple minutes to close out a first round series wearing silver and black. Hope he coattails his way to a ring tbh.
That curse died in 2009...Despite McGrady being on injured reserve, the Rockets beat the Trail Blazers 4–2 in the first round of the playoffs to advance to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 1997. The Rockets would compete in a memorable series against the eventual NBA champion LA Lakers, before losing Game 7 in LA. Since McGrady was on the Rockets' roster during the 2009 NBA Playoffs, he officially advanced past the first round of the playoffs for the first time in his career.
I really hope TMAC is here next year. The man probably doesn't even remember the names of half the players/coaches on the team yet. It must be difficult. It's great for Kawhi having him around and i'm glad he suited up for the team. All upside, no downside having TMAC around.
For those who are saying he looked bad just wait till he plays significant minutes and from there you judge tbh.
He deserves a championship ring.
He looked slow but his passing and ball handling are still there, he ain't lost those skills. I bet his shooting is still great too.
If he "coattails" for a championship, I'm totally cool with that. He deserved better throughout his career. I wouldn't mind him hanging around for next year as well. Pop will probably use him to his best without running him down.
I think the team gives the game ball to TMac at one point.
1) Might be shocking news to you, but he wasnt just sitting on his thumb since we signed him... He has been in practice and learning plays... Im not expecting him to have 13 points in less than a minute but he looked terrible out there.
2) this contradicts your first ing complaint... He has been playing in china, and while its NOT the NBA its still basketball, you'd think he hasnt lost THAT much of his game.
Im not expecting him to be the catalyst for a championship, but Im also not going to give him any slack than I do with any other player on the Spurs... T-Mac was terrible, and thats all there is to it.
No. Just no. I'm not going to even address how bad this is. Just let it go.
Because you know Im right.
Im not saying to dump the guy, I know T-mac is a good player... All Im saying is that he was terrible in this game... if you disagree, you're the moron in this argument.
Dunno why but I laughed reading this post thinking it was a review of some porn vid TMac was in.
I know! FOR GODS SAKES people he played 5 mins and you are already criticizing HIM?????????
