Tracy McGrady...Return of the MAC!!!

21/8/4/3 on 7-11 shooting in 30 min tonight.

not even the resurgence of tmac can bring the dead pistons alive again. too many bad contracts in gordon and charlie v to consider them playoff contenders again.

props to tmac though. keep coming back

I saw McGrady torch the Bulls, vintage clutch style in the 4th quarter against the Bulls too a couple nights ago. He still shows flashes.

I'm rooting for the guy.

For the first time i thought he moved outstandingly well. The fast break that he created where he fed wallace for the dunk was Chris Paul court vision like.

I haven't watched a Pistons game since Billups left but i have been tuning into as many as i can just to watch Tmac. Watched the Bulls and Celtics game recently and I was yelling at the top of my lungs to see the MAC daddy play!

Keep it up Tracy!

I hope he stays back for a while. Hard to hate him.

LOL. HOWBOUT THE 17-7-7 on the raptors or the 15 he scored in the 4th against the bulls to almost drag the pistons over the line of the 15 he scored in the last quarter against the hawks. these games were all within the last 2 weeks. ***** got owned.

i think his new style of play will redeem a lot of respect from people. im loving his style of play. piston should continue to put him as the point. if he continues to perform like he has, maybe he can be a starter and run the point.

at least a few games now. try and look at his stats for his last few games. besides, the coach is not gonna play him a lot on back to back for now. so his stats will be deceiving. as long as he gets the minutes he have tonight, he will give you similar stats.

He has adjusted his style now. it's more moving the ball and concentrating on being a pass first guy now. It has also thrashed the myth that he was a ball hog. He was a ball hog in Orlando because he had to be when he had no help. In Houston he did a great job at being playmaker and now with the Pistons.

Big :facepalm at Chicago for signing Bogans instead.

You know, that was one of the things I always disliked about McGrady and I don't know if it was rightful in retrospect. At his peak, he always seemed to be big on firing tough mid-range shots all the time (even though he averaged around seven assists I think).

What I'm really enjoying about McGrady right now is the fact that he seems to be our best option at point guard. Sometimes it seems like he's moving at half speed, but not unhealthy half speed. Instead, it seems like the game's going slower for Tracy than anyone else on the floor. I'm very much enjoying the court vision I've seen from him the past couple of weeks. He's creating the much needed opportunities for his teammates.

And of course, through the years I kind of forgot how effective a 6'9'' guy with handles and a jumpshot could be. When I see him score at the rim, my first thought is "Wow, daring finish." But then my second thought is "Oh yeah, he's pretty tall. He can do that."

Few years ago Doug Collins, JVG, Gorge Karl and even the great Magic Johonson all called him the best playmaker in the league over 6'8 and that includes LBJ. McGrady's IQ and court vision is off the chart.

Guys like Hamilton, Prince, Gordon, Wilcox and co are seeing or reaping the rewards of that.Most important factor here is he is on a vet minimum contract.
