Why is T-Mac struggling to score this season?

It is simple, T-Mac could go out and average 40 points a game if he wanted to. Of course if he did that the Rockets would only win about 30 games! You need to look at their system like Shaq and Kobe were in LA. Yao is only getting better and for the Rockets to join the elite teams out West the ball has to go inside to him and then get kicked back out to T-Mac when the double team arrives. Sometimes they will need to post and re-post the ball in to Yao... this will free up everything for all of the other Rocket players on the floor. I am sure that this been preached to the team in the off season and everyone is trying to give it a chance. Steve Francis would not pass- and he ended up being dealt away. This is a learning process and hopefully it will help Houston after the all-star break.

Yes, the good teams are playing half-gas, wait untill the knock out rounds, that's when the real tournament begins.\nNo, he will most definitely not be top scorer since his job is to create plays more than scoring.

Looking at the numbers, he'd certainly qualify this season, and you'd be hard pressed to make a compelling argument for any other player.\n\nHis problems in the past of shooting such low percentages was mainly one of shot selection, and he's also better this year at getting his own shot.

he is done for the season....atleast he should be benched...he's not ready yet and if they keep pushing him his career will be over like kerry woods is. :)

No way, hes just been unlucky because he's with a club that isn't good enough to compete at the top.  He deserves respect for showing loyalty to Palace, you wouldn't see that from many players these days.  I don't think any player who tops the premiership scoring charts with a club fighting relegation can be overated.

If your talking about messi. Probabaly not aganist milan unless they go down big in the first game. He hasn't been starting or even subing for them recently probably due to inexperiance.

he was hurt for the season last year and was doing quite well up to now this season.. but its a leg injury..which is more serious..Culpepper has had no success coming back from his..but his knee was shredded..and was declining as a QB to begin with..its only an ACL.McNabb should be able to bounce back by next year

Generally he is not in a form . But he remains one of the top players, don't we worry , he is gonna be all right, it was probably exhausting his training programme for the world cup!!!!

Hi! I am a big NBA fan and in my humble opinion I think that T-Mac is absolutely the better player. I believe that he has a better developed and more consistent game. He can play killer offense with an incredible range with throwdowns and three pointers consistently delivered, but he is also a strong defensive player as well. It's not that Kobe can't play "D" but I think that he is more concerned with racking up the points rather than playing defense. I think McGrady puts aside the stats and concentrates on what it takes to get the "W". He delivers a more consistent sound performance where as Kobe can really turn it on at times, but then falls very flat other times. Also, Tracy has a much better attitude and is a much better team player than Kobe who can really be a ball hog and ignores open teammates quite often. When I consider all aspects of the game, talent,accuaracy, agility, speed, offense, defense, then all aspects of the athelete, such as attitude, leadership, "team-manship", and coachability, I think that T-Mac is hands down the best player. Just my two cents!!

I dont know Bosh gives you blocks and rebounds along with points... T. Mac gives you points and steals... I would keep Bosh though because T. Mac is always injured, his back is always trouble. good luck

maybe, but, there are a lot of young players coming into the tour and its becoming increasingly difficult for older players not doing particularly well as a result of injury and just simple lack of good performance to make it back to the top. In all, he could become a top 10 player again.

Neither good nor bad, but he wouldn't have played much anyways because he must be ready for the return leg against Milan next week. Barca has a healthy enough lead in the Liga that even without him, while not as dominant, are still good enough to at least hold out for a draw and wrap up the title another week. The CL is a bigger focus for the club right now.

Probably Terry and Carragher.\nCampbell has been out for long periods this season and doesn't look the same player he was a few years ago\nFerdinand has been making basic errors.  You can't do that in a cup competition because 1 mistake could be the goal that sends you home.\nThe two who have been most solid all season are JT and JC.  They are also in the clubs with the best defensive records this season.\nDoes that help, Mr Erikssen?  Now go win the trophy!

I think it is highly doubtful. He is still in the squad and going into oxygen chambers. However, Sir Alex Ferguson said on the weekend that it was a "forlorn hope" that he will play. However, Sven-Goran Erikkson has still got him in the squad until Rooney says he can't make it. However, Uri Geller is praying for him which shows how desperate it is.

Dunno really, but it must sadden you that, a team who have dominated the top flight for years are now below a northern hemisphere team!\nThey do seem to be playing bad these day's, maybe he will get the boot after the tour!\nLet's hope this week's game will be more entertaining than last Saturday, both teams played sh1t and no one deserved to win!

West Brom lost some key players last year and thus the reason for falling.  Now they have even more problems....there are better teams in the Championship...and it's not just one.  If they return, it won't be for a couple years.

Hearts are making inroads to improve on this year with buying new players but the key to any succes will be stability: something their campaign lacked this year, with different managers, unhappy players and many, many more things which in no way helped the players.\n\nNext season will be tough, with two qualifying rounds in the champions league means they will start their season early.  If Romanov decides to do what he did in January and sign unknown lithuanians (how many of the 11 players he signed in january are first team regulars?), if he decides to interfere with team selection and player purchases, they will go down the tubes this year, his input, with money the exception, held them back more than anything.\n\nHowever, if players like Hartley, Pressley and the rest of the scottish lads knuckle down as they did this season, with the addition of a couple of class players, they will be up there, however i dont see them breaking Rangers again with Paul Le Guen and his multi-million pund warchest, or Celtic unless they resolve a few issues.  One look at the cup final showed how far they have dropped since December: they struggled against 2nd division Gretna.
