antoine walker sighting? guess those gambling issues forced him to try to make a return to the NBA i see lol. to the OP vid, tracy is still very rusty. though he probably can play the first game of the season, he probably won't get some type of consistent rhythm until another few weeks after that. therefore, the team might hold him out until he develops some type of consistency in practice. however, he'll be back by november AT THE LATEST.
Tmac is not going to play in November or even December guys. Remenber even if he looks good, he is playing against scrubs. He would do terrible against nba players. He still need plenty of time to rehab that knee. He is far from being able to play an nba game. He should probably be back around Feb or maybe March.
Just in case you are serious... the name of the Chinese player is in fact Dong HanLin 董翰麟, new prospect from Guang Dong.
COME ON PEOPLE I know there are guys out there who will never be satisfied, but at least you gotta give him some props and you gotta be happy, at least a little bit. Sure, we saw nothing spectacular there but remember, the guy is playing basketball (I mean 5 on 5) only 5 months after the surgery when NOBODY expected him doing that by now. It is pretty great, isn't it? It means he feels great and is way ahead of schedule. Secondly, it is only a pickup game so don't expect to see phenomenal dunks, actions or him leaving everything on the court. It is a freaking practice, warm up game. Usually you don't give a **** about games like that. I am verry hapy from what I saw. His jumpers looks pretty ok but when impresses me, he went like 3 times to the basket on that video. He had a pretty quick first step and he went there real hard. That means he is not afraid of contact. So far, we just have to be happy. Btw, Luther is playing like it was a playoff game
If this convinces GMs to trade for Tmac, thinking he'll contribute this year AND help them dump salary, and yield us valuable players in return, then I say, Great, Wow, Awesome.
"ther IS videos off Tracy McGradys passing!!!" Good to see Tracy back on the floor. Looks like he's taking it easy. I don’t blame him cause that game did look ugly and I wouldn’t go balls out on a pick up game where you have a chance of getting injured months before the season starts. I'm sure he'll show us what he's really got in the regular season games. As for his shot, I thought I read or heard some where that he was going to change it up in terms of not elevating as high, but maybe that was just during the injury. Stay healthy Mac!!!! This picture looks like he's about to sprain his ankle.
Nice video, nice pics, good post. I'm sure he wasn't actually trying during the pick-up game. Just wanted to get some basketball warmup. He had a couple decent plays though.
Damn. In those pics with Wade, he looks thinner than he has since his first season in Houston. The video wasn't very telling but pickup games never are even when the player hasn't spent the last 6 months rehabbing. I'm sure he was only going at half speed so the fact that he was running and stopping on a dime tells me he feels better about the knee than he did at any point last season. I can definitely see him in the starting lineup on opening night.
It's hard not to cheer and be proud of T-mac BUT it makes me wonder about last season. Is it because this is contract year? Is it because he wants to help the team? I'm all in for him but I hope he really feels the NEED to give it all to this city this season.
i wonder if the key phrase warming up game is any indication as to where he is at right now. I dont want to see him, going full speed in a useless pick up game and regardless, this guy isnt even supposed to be on the court yet, so ppl expecting him to be flying across the court is expecting way too much for a guy who is most likely playing his first pick up game since or let alone full court 5 on 5 since early feb.
Yes, build up that trade value, Tracy. I hope he does get back early so we can get more for him. The way I look at it, we have to try to deal him or let him walk. There is no way we can re-sign him to a big contract and invest the future in him- that would be suicide to the franchise. We've had more than enough evidence that he's not going to carry the team to a championship. Gotta deal him or let him go for another star player if at all possible.
