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

McGrady DICKING the bobcats right now...took wallace to hoop twice for layups and hes passing the ball great...and PLAYING DEFENSE!


seriously, every point they scored was because tracy created a play. 22-9 Pistons up.

 

First eight minutes: 4 points + 2 ast + 1 st + 1 block on 2|2 shooting with no turnovers

 

his play is so interesting to me, it seems as if he's putting almost no effort into his game but still he seems to make very effective plays

 

This is what great basketball IQ is all about

 

So much anger.

 

if he can just regains his swagger (even if he can never regain his explosiveness), he can still be more than just an effective starter.

the guy's skills are just so above most players that if he can run normal, he'll be effective.

hopefully he can take off with more playing time.

 

still can get players to fall for that pump fake lol

 

Atleast he's playing solid.

Again, he needs to continue to realize that even if he doesnt have his great athleticism, HE CAN still drive the lane and draw fouls.

 

that first step was effin quick!!

 

I dont think he will ever have confidence to jump off his left leg...

 

ya that last move he would have dunked prior to the injury. don't need to dunk it to finish effectively, see aaron brooks and his crafty angles.

 

i know, it's all mental with him. if he ever regain 90% of his confidence, we don't know how good he'll relaly be.

 

What's his first step looking like?? If he has a good first step, he should continue to improve.

 

his first step looks great if he catches and isos (ala at the mid-low post). but when he attacks, his explosion (again, confidence) still is clearly lacking.

the thing that is allowing him to stay on the court right now is his passing. it's still a beauty.

 

His defense movement laterally has improved alot.

He just needs to improve his speed.

 

And supposedly he has no skill. McGrady looks like the 06 version right now. That first step is back and his defense looks amazing. He is so much better then Stuckey it's not funny. He'll never be a superstar again, but he can be a super type role player for sure.

 

For 1.2 million, the Pistons got a bargin.

 

He is playing is starting five because Kuester is having some troubles with Stuckey. That's why he played 25 minutes against Atlanta and that's why is is starting today plus pace.

Pistons are playing is slow mode, in halfcourt. It's pretty good for T-Mac. Plus he has no problem of playing pg on offense and defense cause in Hawks game he played against Mike Bibby who isn't very fast and athletic and today he's guardin' Diaw or G-Force, who isn't very active. Pistons players are versatile on D and can guard multiple positions. It's good for him too

 

He do look like the 06 version. He is going to drop at least 25 pts tonight.
