    That was not an ankle break, It was actually very similar to the Michael Jordan push off against Bryon Russell to beat the Jazz.

    Tracy faked the drive and may have used his right hand to throw Gelablae off balance a little bit.

    He played like a girl all game. His jumper is worse than Rafers, I bet Sonic fans weren't happy with that performance.

    I was watching the game and there was no push to throw him off balance. He just faked the crap out of him and calmy buried the jumper. He bit on that jab step and the only thing that would have made the better is if the guy fell.

    You meant it wasn't a crossover.

    Jordan DID push off to fake Bryon Russell out. But from what I remember last night, T-Mac didn't push off. I guess I'd have to see another replay

    man, i felt so bad for that french guy first he gets his ankles broken, than gets knocked out by chuck hayes pick and after all that he airballs a shot and walks to the bench in embarassment. But overall T-mac Ruels! :D

    Yeah, when I was watching it on TV, it didn't look like he pushed off the guy, just faked him out like crazy. I guess I'd have to see it again. Regardless, he pretty much ate that guy's lunch.

    i barely got home to see the final 6 minutes of the game, i think my roomates gf turned off my dvr recoding (i dont want to get started on that :mad: )

    my other roomate and i were watching the remaining minutes and when he saw what mcgrady during the last 5 minutes these were his words

    "DAMMIT he is back playing like crazy. Its not fair when yao gets back. Who is going to stop both of them, one maybe but Mcgrady has gone back to T-Mac. NOT FAIR at ALL!"

    and this guy is a mavs fan

    mcgrady's juke was crazy, his vision to me is even more impressive the two passes to chuck hayes for layups at the end were amazing. seeing him smile shaking his fist at the end...the guy is having fun out there again, the confidence is up and the team is winning and the rest of the league (though not the media) is starting to take notice

    Tmac didn't push off but he did fake Whoopi Goldberg right out of her sneakers.

    Ditto : I saw no push when I slow down the replay, all I saw was a twisted ankle and hair flopping all over the place :D

    Yeah T-Mac's dunk last night was 5th best highlight of last night and the fakeout was 2nd best on NBA.com daily top 10. Two top 5 appearances!
