    He got about 14 total points from there in 34 games. Percentage is meaningless with such small sample.

    I dunno, I always remember T-Mac initiating things from the post. I could be wrong, but that's just my memory from watching the game. He would usually get the ball in a semi post up situation (kinda like Melo does).

    He usually would face up after getting the ball but he is a SG. Sometimes he would stay in the post and use post moves.

    Similar to this -

    I dunno how you can say this guy has no basketball skills

    He didn't shoot enough from post area to prove whether he's accurate from that area. But it's good enough to prove post shots do not consist a good percentage of his shots.

    And how can you prove a player is good at posting up when he barely shoots from there? (<10%)

    Fundamentally, it would be intelligent for Tracy to play harder.

    Why are we even still talking about him?

    He's almost irrelevant nowadays. We've moved the hate to LerBon and now to Griffindor. Let this dude live out the rest of his life in piece.

    lol, i think we just have two extremes regarding tmac on this board; hate/love.

    ignoring what level he is playing at right now/how he played in houston, i personally respect the guy for coming back after so many injuries.

    Larry Drew on giving McGrady a DNP-CD despite a 4 OT game AND this being the third game in a back-to-back-to-back:

    McGrady didn't play the night before either (5th DNP for March)

    Joe Johnson 55 min
    Hinrich 44 min
    Jeff Teague 53 mins
    Marvin Williams 44 mins

    Yep. Most miserable posters around here have switched their hate from Tmac to Lebron and now onto Blake Griffin. I think CP3 is next in their sights. I think when your own life sucks really badly, then you need to hate on others to make yourself feel better. I don't know that for sure because I'm not a psychologist, but that is my theory.

    actually i think itll be really hilarious if he and the coach really were just saving him for the playoffs, cause he has shown in the beginning of the season he can put up 15/5/5 with like 30min games

    He hasn't put up 15-5-5 a single time this year. Only came close to doing so twice - and the second time he did so, he had to skip the next game to recover. And he's STILL getting DNP-CDs. The only two games in the past 4 weeks where he's gotten over 15 mins were blowouts. If anything, he may be in danger of getting dropped from their playoff roster.
