What i dont get is why they dont post him up more. Clearly he can do alotof damage there. remember the Lakers game where he posted Kobe blew by him for a nasty one handed dunk and he destroyed Gay with the same move. Dude is averaging 50% as a starter from the field. Clearly proving alot of people wrong.
Put him in the low block where he'll either draw double teams or he'll just blow by people for some nasty dunks.
[QUOTE=PurpleChuck]For arguably one of the greatest scorer in history to step down and take such a role due to injury and age, to still contribute so much is really impressive for any player. He kept his ego in check and is working hard for the team.:cheers:[/QUOTE]
Yep. People thought he'll never accept not being the go-to-guy anymore but he has done it. But if people followed his career they'll know he has allways been an unselfish baller on the court.

He's definitely underrated as a playmaker. A lot of ppl I know consider him as a Iverson kinda player, but he proved that he can check his ego and contribute to the team the way they need him to, which is very unselfish and commendable for a player of his caliber.

That was vintage tmac of yester years. His first step is getting stronger and faster and his hops are slowly getting back. Not bad for a player described as finished by almost everyone.

He's taking care of himself! Your comparison to Grant Hill is spot on.:cheers:
Exactly . He is now a Hill type player who is happy to play second or third fiddel and just score if needed.
its good to hear TMac coming back and be a good contributor and prove the doubters wrong.

if the pistons only had a first option...
although i watched the game against chicago few days ago and there was nobody who was able to hit a shot and mcgrady stayed passive and in playmaking-style. i like the attitdue but he also has to take a few shots when the team isn't doing anything.
Well the bulls were doubling him everytime he touched the bull in the second half. Also everytime he tried to make a move off the dribble, the Bulls quickly rotated a player infront of his driving lane meaning he had no oportunity to make any moves. The Bulls Coach knows Tracy's games inside out so he acted accordingly in the second half after Tmac torched them in the second quarter.

Nice to see him finally playing well again.
He never lost his immense skills, it was just about getting his body healthy. Touch wood he is finally healthy and tthe results are evident.He'll still be able to give you 20-5-5 a night if he is told to. But at this point he is now happy to be a playmaker and let other guys score.
Those who were born with skill will die with skill.
Motivation, injuries or work ethic are a whole different story.
Props to Mac.
He must feel pretty good right now. A lot of teams passed on him because of his injuries and he's showing them that they made a mistake. He would be a great addition to any contending team.
I was very apprehensive towards us signing him, thinking that we had enough SGs as it was and that T-Mac wasn't worth it. I will happily hold my hands up and say I was wrong. He's been impressive.
