    Anyone thinking of putting together a mix of his plays from last game? I missed it, and don't want to watch 40 minutes of Pistons ball.. :p

    His jumpshot sucks!!!

    He really needs to improve that if he wants to be a legit scorer again.

    Let me say this about tracy's game, he was never really meant to be the scoring champ. He signed with orlando as the 3rd wheel and a guy with tremendous talent. When he morphed into the high scoring player in orlando because hill was injured and duncan stayed in s.a., it kinda of put him in a position i dont think was ever him. I always saw him as a point forward like pippen and with his high bbiq and skillset, thats what he will always be.

    Tracy and his body are the only things that can hold him back.Just like Yao, if healthy is a term used too much in his career. He's one of the most skilled players in this league still. If he chooses to, he can keep playing in the nba because contrary to the words used by some on this board,his teammates really like him and he's not a off the court headache like ai or guys like that. He could take a lamar odom type of utility role if he wants. If the designed team played him with shooters or scorers, he can be a even better player. His mobility will not allow him to be a off the ball mover alot. His motivation can allow him to still be a adequate defender. I've always thought he's better when challenged vs given the escape route. He's not on the rockets anymore,but i watch him like i watch the rest of the players in the league. Wish him well and hopes he continues or finishes his comeback or whatever.

    Agreed. He has to find his jumpshot in the game. HAS TO!

    Still got ten points without it. If and when he can be a threat from outside, defenders will overplay him and he'll be able to drive even with that knee.

    Even Hayes had plenty of 10 points game without a jumpshot.
    This guy averaged 3.5 points over 6 games. Most 8th man in a team did better than that.

    No clown, you said he has no SKILL, AND THAT is one of the dumbest comments we have heard for a while. He maybe alot of things, but his lack of skill is not one of them. Plus he shot the ball only 6 times for ten points. He could have easily scored 20 plus if he wanted to.

    I'm pretty sure the scouting report says: Pay no attention to Chuck he can't even make layups. Which is why he gets those points.

    It's different in McGrady's case.

    You do have very low standard for SKILLs. Even Hayes has better number than him on offensive side. And who really thinks Hayes is a skillful player?

    So... from your logic.
    Wilt is better than Kobe and Kobe is better than Michael.

    100 > 81 > 69?

    :rolleyes:

    TMac fans like PER, TMac has a PER of 7 as of right, average player has about 15. I am being polite saying he's below average.

    What is your point? Alright. Tracy sucks. Is that the reaction you wanted? Some people just go so far as to bash him it's just sad. Tracy might have burned bridges in Houston and Orlando, but he was still a emphatic Houston Rocket at one point and I have some fond memories of him doing some amazing things with and for the Houston Rockets.

    It's sad, really.

    My point is that a scrub can occasionally have 10 points game too. Didn't TMac have a 26 points game in NYK? Now TMac fans are gonna celebrate double digit game every single time or what?

    Now you are comparing his skills to Hayes. Thats why you are reaching. He is still one of the best passing wing players in the league and his basketball IQ is off the chart.Thats skill.

    Considering you're a YOF, you should know all about scrubs. You tried to blame all of yao's failures on Tracy.
