    McGrady has to know that if he went dead cold, he should attack the rim more, and pass more. In last three games,his FG is too low, 12-28, 11-27, 6-18, not even close an all star level.
    And also his ast is too low for a leader, if you compare his stats with other swingman leaders such as James and AI, Kobe, Wade, etc, his ast is sort of shy, which means he need to improve his leader's skills. He obviously has that kind of ability, however due to (perhaps) JVG's poor offense or his mentality, he did show it well, hopefully, that's going to change when faces LAL.
    BTW, his not too high FG% have declined over last three years, can anyone tell if that's due to his chronic back problem. You can tell that he's not fully heathy from his performance on the court, it's sad, probably he's going to rest for another several games this season. Even a true YOF wishes his heath, since together the 2 can make a huge difference.

    Can anyone tell us if T-Mac is indeed heathy now?

    Maybe his drop in field goal percentage is cause of the increase in jump shots.

    According to T-Mac, he is healthy, but fatigued from the long road trip:

    Improve?.. no the guy is working his ass off out there with a bad back. once he gets his back 100% ready, all this nonsense anout him needing to improve will look pretty dumb.he is doing things that most able people with a 100% fit body can't do.

    T-Mac just might be tired. He's played 46, 48 & 44 minutes in 4 days, with another game tomorrow. I get tired just thinking about it.

    His career average FG is 44%, comparing with James:45%(50% this year), Kobe:45%, Wade: 47%. ast, never talk it, his ast this year is around 4.9, the most selfish player AI is 7.6; don't mention Wade and James.

    James is clearly the best swingman in the league now, IMO. Kobe and T-mac after, but Kobe was lucky enough to have Shark with him to abtain titles.

    T-Mac look out of shape couple of times. He just needs to get into great shape by playing, he's by no means 100% yet. He's taking too many shots when our role players are just standing around sometimes and guys are allow to double team him.
