What about the time he said it felt great to be in the 2nd round of the playoffs? Magic up 3-1 on Pistons only to lose 4-3 in that series. Man was that funny.

lol, because after the team was up 3-1, the team Magic used up all the screens that provided for Tracy so he couldnt lead jet.
What's the relationship between J-Star and R-Star? Can I get my friend who name will be F-Star to post here?

im pretty sure ive said this before but T-Mac would get no love from me if i was an orlando fan. Imagine if it was Philly and not Orlando... he would be crucified. he split as fast as he could and burned the bridges behind him after giving them a half assed effort for 4 years. the guy can score 40 pts with his eyes closed but he needs to fix his damn attitude before he gets respect from me.

The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way about T-Mac was the comments during last year's Orlando-Dallas game in Orlando.
He basically said get me a real team, note he was traded with 3 of his teammates to Houston. I think he brought all of his bad karma to Clutch City.
I really believe Orlando will have a better season than Houston.

Only thing?
That was that sideline interview where he was sitting out right? I remember that, he said some stuff about his teammates and then what Orlando had to do to get him help. Out of touch again.
Its hard for me to think Houston is not going to win 50 games. They have a lot of pieces and a coach who is going to get a lot out of them defensively. I would be surprised if Houston was not a top 5 team in the West.

The other stuff I can chalk up to frustration, but to basically say that the guys he is playing with are just trash, it's not cool.
And even though hindsight is 20/20, T-MAc was not committed to the Magic whether they picked Howard or Okafor. The fact that Howard is playing well and T-Mac said he wished Orlando did that type of stuff for him, just shows how his mind works. He most likely didn't feel that Howard or Okafor were good enough to help the team win.
Orlando is more of a team now instead of a one man gang. It's better for them, even if they don't believe so. Especially if Hill is healthy.
As for Houston being Top 5, I'm sorry, but in Mo Taylor and Juwan Howard, that is the worst defensive PF combo in the NBA and there is no protection for Yao now defensively to keep him out of foul trouble (not that he fouls a lot), but he is going to miss Cato defensively.
Charlie Ward, Tyronn Lue, Reece Gaines? Ugh. Their supporting cast is pathetic.

This detriot piston championship has really gotten into peoples heads. Its only ONE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! SUPERSTARS win championships not good players. Remeber Dallas??? NO realy superstar, but a bunch of good players and stars....
The Rockets have one established superstar and one up and coming. THat is a stronger foundation than francis, howard, mobley.

Pshhh. And I thought Kobe hating was bad... here I come and see you people bash on McGrady like he's some selfish bad guy that doesn't want to win. You people can bad mouth about T-Mac but wouldn't say crap about some "other" players who are worst.

I was thinking you could get a friend and name him Jon, without the H, or jonathan? Then you could create a new avatar with another south park character with a Tmac toronto jersey on, to stand next to Vince. Yall could be the best of friends!
YA DIG?

Too bad he never said that. Get your facts straight, and try to see past your man crush on Kobe.

Too bad I saw the interview where he said it. Showed it on PTI the next day and Tony and Wilbon talked about it.
Back to make believe land for you.
