    as a fan, im just glad that he's playing.

    i know his play is degrading and it could be a couple more seasons (or less) and he'd be retired. so im just enjoying every minute he's out there on the court. and then it's time to look for a new player to root for. durant probably.

    Good sign was when he spinned around and drew the foul.

    Good explosiveness.

    I would say that 20 mpg is about right. After the trade, I think that Mike D'Antoni pretty much gave him the shock treatment playing him 30-plus minutes in his first two games.

    There is no way he can be at his best right now coming off of microfracture surgery. Think he can get better, but don't know how long he can stay healthy anyways.

    Not a bad game tonight. Looks unbelievably slow, but almost a triple double and shooting a good percentage. He'll get better.

    He looks quicker tonight. He was actually running and looked lively. Good sign.

    The reason why the knicks looked good?. because mcgrady was playing the point guard position. he was really being solid at his playmaking game.

    The team plays better when they run the offense through T-Mac, they had him at the point forward position and they ran the offense with little flaws.

    Too bad i started Rasual Butler over T-Mac tonight in my fantasy league :(

    Tmac is so talented. I really wished he could work out in Adelman's system when he was here. None of courrent rockets is as talented as Tmac.

    i stated that after tmac's first game as a knick. if he gets moved to pg then it might be easier on his body and can still get his touches. knicks looked great tonight. unlike the rockets... just one defensive stop and score... is that too much to ask for?

    so he played ala-joe johnson's role on the old phoenix sun. nice.

    wonder if tmac would play point when they play the rocks? coz he cant guard AB. maybe he'd be guarding the SFs (ariza and bat) since those two would just be hanging out in the wing.

    just because he is playing point on offense doesn't mean he has to defend the opposing teams pg. Most likely, duhon, sergio, or house would take that role.

    nice stats. still have not seen a knicks game. curious as to how he looks these days (but glad he's a Knick)

    the delonte dunk made me feel sorry for him. kind of hoping he comes back strong. sad to see a former elite player get laughed at like that...even one who I utterly dislike
