We've been playing great, but I think we still have a lot of room to grow...which is just scary. We probably can't milk any more from Tmac, he's just that good and you can't expect much more. Yao still has A LOT of room to grow and improve, and when he does it's not going to be good for the rest of the league. The addition of Mike James imo was HUGE. Now we have a legitimate scorer off the bench who can also play defense, AND brings in quickness when we need it. When Sura gets back to form our PG combo will not only be very solid, but extremely versatile as well. We don't have the huge egos, and in time this team should only get better. I don't think there's a team out there that wants us in the playoffs.
TMac has alot potential, in my opinion. His growth might not show up in stats, but ability to win games and championships. Jordan at 25 had some really crazy stats, but at 27, he was able to win championships, and the stats don't necesarrily show that.
Remember Yao dominated the Spurs' twin towers in his rookie year? If he can perform in that level consistently, I will say he is peaked.
I think all the tools are already there for tmac... if he can consistently play with intensity.. he could very well be jordanesque.... 17-2 when he scores 30+.. I think that shows how important his involvement is...
Yao and TMac are all unselfish player, they have a lot of room to improve, only need more time and patience. They are not not 1+1 like OK, I think MM will surely be better than OK after several years play together.
