Is T-Mac a point forward?

[tmacyaokobe01]

You're so hypocritical, it's funny.

Being ignorant at it's best right there. Seriously man, you honestly don't think you're ignorant? Be honest.

And I'm still waiting for you to pick apart my post and try to prove me wrong.

i think i can be ignorant

but at this thread no i haven't been ignorant.

T-Mac is a point forward by default. The rockets haven't had any floor generals at the 1 spot, so he has had to handle a majority of the playmaking duties from the 3.
He's not a classic point forward in the Pippen, Mashburn, G.Hill mode, and he probably will lose some of the ballhandling responsibilities because of the Rockets' off season moves this year. Their point stable is solid, plus Stevie F. is back in the mix to take off some of the pressure.

Actually they have Rafer Alston and Luther Head.

yes you are ignorant.

you don't listen to any facts i don't think.

Your one, ah, dare I call it, fact: is that McGrady doesn't bring the ball up the court.

Oh dear, because he doesn't dribble that extra 41 feet up the court means that there's no way he takes part in the offense in passing the ball along and finding open team mates, what a doofus I was :rollingeyes:

And I'm still waiting for you.

Hes not the primary ball-handler

there are a lot more reasons i'll explain them.

Do you watch Rockets basketball? HE IS the primary ball handler.

[tmacyaokobe01]

The Rockets' offense is basically Yao in the post or T-Mac creating on the wing. They're not running that many plays for anyone else, which is what you'd expect from a team with a point forward.

It's not that he doesn't have the skills; the Rockets just don't have the offense or the personnel to have a point forward.

There you go. You've just said the exact reason why McGrady is a point forward. He creates and the coach uses McGrady to make plays. Besides, your point of a team not needing a point foward is irrelevant, and even that is debatable, because it doesn't change is he's a point forward or not.

your definition must be very easy to be a point forward then.

Just because he is creating for others doesn't make him a point forward.

[tmacyaokobe01]

There are only a few teams with the offense and personnel in the other positions that could even have a point forward. If you have a dominant big man or a pass first PG, you don't need a point forward. Why?? Because it's easier to run your offense from those points than from where a PF would have the ball -- all the angles change.

WTF? Now even creating for other plays doesn't mean you're a point forward then what does? This is just getting ridiculous.
