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

good 3rd quarter for Tmac. Already at 31 minutes!

 

Block on Dragic - Clean or Not?

 

He really needs to find his scoring. That block was legit, shouldn't have been called goal tending.

He's played 34 minutes and is still going for more.... Great sign.

 

it was close, it looked light he got to it b4 it hit the backboard.

 

Are you guys just looking at the box score or something?

If you are actually watching the game, you can see that he is struggling out there. The Suns showed a lot of respect came out and doubled him hard off the screens and he made the good pass but then the rest of the Pistons couldnt make the the extra pass to get a good shot.

Then once the offense died and they fell behind mid way through the second quarter, T-mac sorted gave up cause the rest of his team was playing so bad instead of trying to spark them.

Now he is just resolved to walking up and down the court and doesnt even come closs to straddling the 3 point line, he hasn't attempted a single drive this game.

Although you can make the argument that his playing on a horrible team with terrible bball IQ which i think its true, He should still show more of an effort instead of just following the rest of the players like a sheep. Its been pathetic to see his inability of lack of willingness to move off the ball.

 

Um wrong, he actually made one of his jumpshot moving off screens.

In addition, he ran back and actually blocked Dragic's shot off his left foot...

 

Hmmmm...

Where are the Tmac buttkiissers tonight???

35 minutes, 3-10, 7 points....

 

Do you even watch the game?

 

yep...

same ole Tmac

 

PnR is pretty much the NBA standard for any team with a superior perimeter player who can both shoot and drive.

 

It's kinda late in his career for T-Mac to be picking up new habits.

 

Yeah I remember PnR was destroying Mavs in 2 of the 05 playoff games with Mavs..Unfortunately they figured out how to D that.

 

He got D'd the hell up in the game. He needs to find a way to be productive when he gets double teamed.

 

Big test game that showed he doesnt have the speed up yet.

I really wonder how his going to respond to today's game. Double team straight out the block. Exactly like the old T-mac, pity he just turned it over for most part

 

When you only got two players who can score, eventually the other team is going to figure that out.

 

Yeah, as a once in a while move.

The only team that consistently uses Pick n Roll to start its offense is Phoenix with shooters and Nash/Amar'e

 

Miami, SA, Utah, New Orleans all use it extensively. L.A. runs the triangle but will go to pnr situations in crunch on occasion time but they also have Kobe.

Pretty much any team with an excellent perimeter player with great penetrating skills utilize the PnR. It's the whole point of having a great perimeter player.

 

We ain't but kissing, (Well some of the posters are), all we want is to see a former Rockets who has been battered by injuries make a recovery into a good player. Don't you wish Yao the same? :grin:

 

Well, he was able to play 35 minutes -- i'd be curious to see if he could hold up with that many minutes each game.
