    I wonder if T-Mac will get any 4th quarter minutes.

    Watching the Pistons makes me love Rick Adelman

    The Pistons must have some trade they are trying to make.

    Still - it is hard to make sense of the "rotation"

    i have no idea. its confusing Like if the game is close Kuester is gonna stick with the same unit that is out there. But if the game isnt close at all he will just still keep the same unit out there r keep most of his starters out.its pretty much out of tmachands for how close the game is at that particular time during the 4th.

    At this point it is like 'whatever'. Kuester is letting his team down and he is okay with losing every winnable game possible. He is not here to win, he blows up every single game.

    Tracy is playing an allright basketball. He can't really take over because he is not that player anymore and looks who's he playing with.

    The owner doesn't care cause they will be sold and Dumars is kinda ok as well. Untill the new coach comes in and a new OWNER of course who wants to win, this won't change.

    I think It would really benefit Mcgrady if he changed his game now to where he would move more off the ball and catch and shoot. He is still a pretty good shooter but he doesnt have the same tools to be that guy that iso everytime down the court. he is gonna have to train differently to adjust his body to that much movement. I just think it would be easier for him to get shots off and score more effeciently

    He has been good in the last 3 games. he had 16 points, 14 points and 15 tonight all in 3 quarters of games.Tonight he is jumping well and had that offensive board dunk and a spin move dunk.

    I've never seen this. The most complete offensive player on the team doesn't play in the 4th?

    Pistons want to bring Tracy McGrady back for another season

    Kurt Helin

    It’s time. And I’m man enough to admit it.

    I was wrong about Tracy McGrady.

    I thought time had passed him by, his knees were Jello and teams should treat him like he had leprosy. But he’s turned out to be a solid, smart veteran who knows how to run a team. His knees may have robbed us of the high-flying McGrady of a decade ago — the guy who threw passes off the backboard to himself for a dunk — but his quality play at the point earned him a starting spot, which slid Rodney Stuckey over to the two and the Pistons have been better for it.

    GM Joe Dumars told Pistons.com he’d like to bring McGrady back.

    "Tracy has been extremely good for us here. And we would like to go forward with him. We really like his play on the floor. But also, just as importantly, we like the person that he is. We like the leadership that he brings. We like the veteran, professional approach that he brings. We like all of those things about Tracy. We would like to go forward with him."

    McGrady and Stuckey are free agents next summer (or whenever free agency happens after the lockout). Because of ownership being in flux for the Pistons, it is impossible to say what Dumars marching orders will be. Maybe he’s encouraged to bring McGrady back, or maybe he’s told to go young and rebuild.

    Either way, McGrady has earned another season of an NBA paycheck next year. He’s proved me wrong. Good on him.
