    In what way? He could just mean someone who liked football growing up and didn't play basketball. Someone who was very athletic.

    The Hawks offense is so out of sync it's hard to figure anything out

    So much for Tracy McGrady's "I'm 100%!"
    LMFAO.
    What a joke. Can't even judge himself properly.

    I will say this again, Tracy's body and movement looks the best it has looked since the injury, he really looks fina making all those cuts, etc. He is much more explosive too.

    The problem is he is really confused when on the court. I don't know why but it seems like he has not taken part in any of their practice. He just doesn't know where he is supposed to run when a play is called. That being said he is so confused that when he actually gets a good shot he can't focus at it. He still has some time before the season but it seems like he will need some time to figure things out in ATL

    But I am excited because he looks very, very good physically.

    Yeah pretty hard to judge since it's been two preseason games with a new team and offense.

    Based on what Jeff Who is saying, his physical prowess seems to be at a very good place. Stats arent there but he's only getting 12 minutes a game so I wouldn't place judgment just yet.

    His physique is really day n night comparing to before the Kander situation. Without a doubt it's 100% you can get of his body

    I mean really, you know guys I am a TMac fan but I have been pretty hard on him for the last two seasons. But really, he looks good running up and down and looks like his hard work is paying off.

    But he just looks lost. And I am also concerned about his motivation and scoring ability. He is healthly, but if he can't bring it off the bench to around 10-12 ppg and being a good playmaker than he doesn't belong in the NBA.

    But I have to say that, so far McGrady has showed NOTHING and if his agressivness doesn't pick up than he won't see many minutes. He has been saying and we have all seen he is healthly but he is doing nothing with that. We will see if he really was saving it foir the season or he is jusst done mentally.

    Mac is actually knew the plays, his teammates doesn't. A lot of times in this two preseason matchups he was standing in the corners and marking the ways that his teammates should go, especially young guards. They were using plays in 75-80% of possessions last year and it's complicated for rooks to teach them all in week of training camps

    One thing that is bad is his jumper. It wasn't falling. But his shape is really surprising. He is moving well, he is running, he has some leaping ability (actually, he wanted to dunk on two guys when he was fouled first time in the last game). It's about motivation and you should not wait for it in a preseason matchup when should not fight for a role or starting job, he already owned one.

    He can be a strong Sixth Man of The Year candidate if he wanted to and if he won't get injured but I don't think that is going to happen just because of schedule and other stuff like that. Last season he wanted to stay healthy for all year, right now he wants to stay healthy for a playoffs. That is his goal, I'm sure. And in the first round we will definitely see an aggressive all around player, the max of him.

    In the regular season he may play so but the risk of the injury (that would be career-ending for him for sure) is really high out there. Don't know if the award of that caliber (6-th Man) actually worth that, but I'm sure that he would still try to help the team in assist department. Want to see him play with Horford. It would be nice for both of them

    you're right RTM his jumper looks really bad now which is somehow suprising as reports said he was shooting the ball well.

    From the box score, his shot was off. That was all. ;)
