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

this was a clean block on Dragic. wow

 

Anti-Toronto game lol

 

That Dragic Block shows his got his legs under him now and his starting to get motivated. The Toronto game would have been him at his worst basically. All his BS about being ready is really just that complete BS.

His only getting his feed now

 

Yeah you can tell he's injury free now.

 

Actually most teams average to good teams always try to run their offence whenever they come down a quickly as possible, back cuts etc.. for specific players.

The good teams can get into their sets fast and if that fails then they will still have aroudn 10-12 seconds resulting in multiple pick and rolls.

Its only the really bad teams like Sacramanto that just basically run iso, pick and roll every time down or they are forced into it because of how slow they get into the offense. Same with the Clippers.

 

LA only uses it when the offense breaks down. It's not their go to standard move.

Miami has used it less and less. But yeah, they use it.

Utah's pick and roll has a lot of cutting mixed into it. It isn't just a simple pick and roll.

New Orleans uses a basic pick and roll a lot with CP3. But look where they are.

 

Sure, of course. But I'm talking about when teams are playing real defense. 4th qtr, playoff intensity, christmas day stuff. The rest of the time who cares.

Pay attention to to good teams in close games in the 4th qtr. I guarantee you'll see the PnR more than you expect

 

I think T-mac will be traded to either Chicago, L.A. or Dallas before the trade deadline.

 

Dallas, he can start if Butler is gone.

Chicago, he can start at SG.

LA, I'm not too sure, but if Artest continues to suck at SF, he can start there as well.

 

We could do a hill 2 of our SF's too Indiana for Hibbert along with an expiring Jeffries. Then I'd do a 2nd rounder for T-Mac BUT that's not possible since the bridge is burnt. Boy I think it'd be great for Tracy to get a 2nd chance here at a championship with us. But like I said it'll never happen. But I can dream haha

 

I don't know whether T-Mac being double teamed straight away was a testament to his rehab or to how exceptionally bad Detroit is.

 

Jeez, TMac will get double hate if he is traded to Dallas, and triple hate if he goes to LA.

I could see TMac in Chicago though.

Rose
McGrady
Deng
Boozer
Noah (when he come back)

That is a scary team.

 

Again, TMac is starting to show why hes mentally soft when it comes to playing basketball. Whenever he gets double teamed, he is afraid to split the defense to make sure he doesnt get a knee on knee injury. HE IS scared right now.

He needs to get over that hump, SOON.

 

Stein PR

 

Mcgrady starting tonight vs Jazz http://www.pistonpowered.com/2011/01/rodney-stuckey-will-play-wont-start-tonight-vs-utah/

 

Let's trade Birdinger for him. :grin:

 

if u watched him in houston in his best days, he rarely splits the double teams. he almost went AROUND it.

 

I want him to show more consistency though. I'll give him by mid February which is the all-star break.

Btw, didn't Kander say he would be ready by mid January?

 

As Tmac1 just mentioned, I have almost never seen Tracy split.

At high levels of basketball, you are taught to pull the hedge man out as far as possible, to make for a slower rotation to the roll guy. Tracy has done this his entire career.

He uses his length to see over the top of the help as well... No need to split.

 

he is more consistent than before. and you're right though, his goal is now to be consistent every game, or every 4 in 5 games. that's tough b/c only stars are able to maintain that type of consistency.
