    McGrady looked insanely good in the first quarter. he was running like orlando mcgrady. attacking the rim. he's speed was right up there with he's best years. i perdict tracy to be a top 5 or even top 3 mvp candidate. he looked awesom. 27 -5-5 will be he's stats. orlando mcgrady is back.

    Agree. He's not concerned about his back at all. He's agressive, he's so quick. Looks great, really

    I'm pretty sure that Landry and Butler won't be part of the 2nd unit come the regular season...

    We are playing against crappy scrubs.... the Mavs started Nick Fazekas, Mo Ager, and somehow got the idea to put Darvin Ham on Yao... if they didn't look good I'd be concerned.

    Yao and Tracy might neither be high in voting, because they will take votes away from one another.

    Bass owns Rockets. Not a good sign if we defend PFs since the West is filled with great ones.

    But that's not about defense. That's about his agressivness. His quickness.

    Landry looks like a bad pick by us... when we could of gotten Glen Davis. Butler literally is just anybody out there to rack up 6 fouls. I don't think he'll even see playing time at all this year.

    disregard his stats. we're talking about his movement on the court. he often looked SLOW AS HELL last yr for a player of his standard. the 2 games he has played, he looked like a 21 yr old.

    As long as we get the wins, they'll be up there. both yao and tracy will be right up there in the voting.

    Man, when Butler was going for that "missed" dunk, it looked he was in slow motion. He needs to work on his speed.

    He physically looks like a beast but that's about it. Butler may not even make the roster. Brandon Bass owns him.

    Scola fouls too much. Withou Yao and Scola, basically we lose most of our high percentage inside game.

    I guess Steve Francis will barely appear in the rotation this season.
