I liked alot of what Tmac brought to this game. Ditch the 3 pointers he took tonight and he shot nearly 50%. His aggresiveness was awesome, the constant drives to the basket lead to nothing but good things. His turnovers were high, but to be fair alot of those TO were mishandled passes by cutters who would of gotten wide open layups/dunks. If it wasn't such a poor shooting night, Tmac could of easily had 10+ assists. Outside of the defense, I really don't understand the criticism.
that is true,with Brooks and Barry on the court in the 4th Q,the team runs so smooth that it is a fun to watch,everyone is moving so fluent. a sharp contrast to the boring game.
What is you're problem regarding to mcgrady?. its ok to bash him at the magic, but why are you constantly bashing him as a rocket?
We are talking about match-up here. Durant just owned TMac tonight. This lazy TMac is a big defense liability.
unfortunately, on one leg, tmac still had more impact: more rebounds, assists, and playmaking. and he only outscored tmac by 4 pts. tmac playing 70% still > durant my friend. but yes, tmac's defense is very bad. his lateral movement is nonexistent.
you forgot the reason why. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=281101010 McGrady guarded Durant for the first three quarters before Artest took over in the fourth. Durant managed four points in the fourth. "Sometimes you've got to treat Kevin Durant like he's Michael Jordan," Artest said. "You've got to treat every player like they're Jordan, play them hard."
tmac played on one leg basically. so it's not surprising he got 22 on him, with like 3 fast breaks. and yes, artest was that MFer tonight on D in the 4th but all i'm saying is tmac had more impact in that game that durant would have even at his best. u gotta do more than just score if you want to dominate the game.
Rick the Ruler switched it up. True, you need more than scoring, but we don't what would have happened if Rick didn't put Ron on Kevin Durant.
