**Official McGrady/Pistons 2010 Regular Season Thread**

LOL, that sounds funny as hell coming from you.

 

Hey, bud!

The photo I posted was from August. I guess he was working out in the off-season, huh?

Oh, so fat...

Not answering? I guess that means you haven't watched many of his games. I kind of figured that when you didn't understand the significance of him dunking again this season.

 

LOL, no kidding bud, I even told you that t(ubby)mac pic was 2 months after yours (Aug to Nov...there is some offseason in there, eh?).

You just spent a lot of effort to show me he was heavy in those vids...thanks bro. He looks like he lost a bit more weight as the season went on...maybe thats why he was starting to do better in Jan and Feb?

But I do love the 'dunk' facts. Obviously a measure of how well a person is doing as a basketball player rests solely on his ability to dunk...at his rate he's dunking once every 13 or so quarters...mindblowing. It may show how well his knee is doing, but he's doesn't have a better impact on the court compared to last year when his knee was much worse (so he says). Why is that an improvement, oh tmac conditioning guru?

I know how all the sudden you don't like to talk about statistics...so lets talk about his impact on the game, defensively he's..ah,uh...err maybe not...well lets talk about his 'locker room presence', doh, ah, forget that too...hmmm...I'm running out of options here...
Why don't you go back and argue how much better his numbers are than last year...err, on second thought, you might want to stick to his dunking...it's so much "perttier"...

 

you mean when everyone else is playing in the 1st, 2nd, conference, and nba finals?

HAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL

 

lolwut?

Tracy with reverse back to the basket dunk? Really?

 

T-Mac still has some moves

Probably his best dunk of the season so far

 

very impressive. hopefully he takes this offseason seriously. if he does that, he can still have 3-4 very good years left.

 

what an amazing assist for Daye and Pistons still can survive due that play created by T-Mac from nowhere

 

NBATV gives us the last second of the Detroit game. Does Tmac have a gut or is just me?

 

That reverse dunk was fkin sick! It didn't even look like he was trying.

 

That dunk was NICE but it only tells you that I am right. This guy is so LAZY

 

Losing weight for him would ease some pressue on his back and knee. Putting dedication into that process is more of a mental effort than physical. He needs the will and determination.

It would make him that much faster too. I am a huge TMAC fan. i really want to see him doing everything possible to improve his durability and reinvent his game in a way so he can still be a major part for a team.

Do you play this song over and over in front of McGrady's house, Dobler-style?

Bro, bud... :grin: What about pal, chief, or ace?

Previously...

The photo from mid-August:



Assuming the incubation period of a radioactive fat-bug bite is a couple of days ( ), you were wrong about him becoming bloated in the off-season. The photo and videos show he was never the bloated mess you imagined. You made a mistake. It happens. No problem...

Again, you failed to answer the question about whether you watch him play or not. I guess it's clear you don't. His dunking shows his improved athleticism, especially when compared to last season. That was my point of mentioning it. Thankfully I did mention it, because it helped me find out that you don't watch him play and I have a better understanding of your perspective.

What is this? You're just rambling...

He had 14 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds yesterday. Those are a little better than the numbers he was putting up when he was starting (before Hamilton came back). Yesterday, Stuckey didn't play. It's clear, with the hodge-podge of players Dumars assembled and Kuester's inconsistent rotations and game planning, there are a lot of factors going into McGrady's up and down stats. But you don't watch him play, so it's difficult for you to understand.

Since you don't even watch McGrady's games, let's wrap this discussion up with an "agree to disagree."

 

People should really stop debating about Tmac. Truth is, it's unlikely that he'll ever sniff a ring or even a deserved AS appearance. He's done as a star. Just accept that he'll do a good job blending in to the mediocrities of the league, and will probably retire with a decent legacy and more money than any of us will ever make. He's never going to be the pivotal player that can turn a team around, even for a stretch of a season. The sooner you realize this, the sooner we can stop with this pointless discussion. It's not his coach's fault blah blah. It's not his teammates fault. It isn't even Tmac's fault (lol unintended allusion). It's those people who continue to expect greatness from him. Give it up, guys. He's done.

he still has it. hopefully he can build on this season.

 

Like our Houston Rockets....

 

What exactly is "it"? The ability to perform in a garbage game with no intensity where nobody is playing hard?

Even at the end where the crowd was yelling "Defense", there was no enthusiasm at all (players or fans).

Maybe if he can shut up for a few minutes, a playoff team might consider signing him next season. But you know McGrady, he will probably impale himself again.
