Your point fails. Can you name one aspect of his game that has improved since he became a Rocket? A simple search on youtube proves you wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBaPK40qL3s Ron Harper guards Stockton. Your emphasis on "all of the time" implies that McGrady does guard the main offensive threat a considerable amount of the time. However, McGrady doesn't even guard the main offensive threat some of the time. My point is that winning does cure all, but only if you're an uninformed fan. Remember the 22 game win streak? Remember the Sacramento game where Novak hit the game winner? In the 4th period, we were up by almost 20. McGrady guarded Artest, and Artest proceeded to continually abuse McGrady to the point that Sacramento actually took the lead. It becomes a problem when the opposing team has multiple wing players who are scoring threats (i.e. Celtics, Spurs, Wizards). Saving his energy for the offensive end? I guess 15+ million doesn't buy what it used to. This season, we're getting points b/c we're playing at a faster tempo and trying to run a fast break whenever possible. That hasn't been McGrady's style for a few years. Unless its a clean breakaway, McGrady prefers to walk the ball up the court and set up the offense. Brooks is being effective b/c he's attacking the basket and rarely taking bad shots. McGrady does neither of these.
The commentaitor said it was hard for HIMSELFF to climb and come down not tracy. listen more carefully. plus tracy was hopping on the knee that had micro surgery. get you're facts straight
Yes, that was my understanding also. In fact, I was watching McGrady run stairs hopping on one leg, thinking to myself that he must be in really good shape!
that's great to heart. mid to end of december sounds really good right now. btw, so he was just hopping on the stairs of the arena on that worked on knee?
Well he needs to get in game shape. All they are doing in Nov 25 is deciding whether he is cleared. If he is cleared then he will be able to run full games in practices as well as up his regimen to get in game shape. Mid to end december sounds about right if he is cleared.
and intimidating, great posture and composure keep him the way he is right now till next June....anyone?
I saw the footage of him working out on NBA TV...... I must admit he looked great....jumping up the stairs on one knee at at time.....then both....very nice. DD
They will do MRI. If he is ready I belive they will still give him few weeks to take part in full practices.
That's an amazingly good sign. Not only that his knee is healing, but the incredible level of athleticism and strength it takes to do that.
I think he's going to be psyched to run and be part of this team. You are talking about a guy who has a huge monkey on his back that he hasn't won in the playoffs - you think he cares more about touches or advancing in the playoffs? He's insecure, he's over-sensitive, but the guy is not the selfish egomaniac many accuse him of being.
