    what the hell are you watching? he's 2-3 in the 3rd so far.

    you judge tmac based on every play. he makes a basket, he's back. he misses one, he's done.

    Who the hell said he was done. Yeah i know he's made 3 good plays in a row but prior to that he was standing, watching.

    Calm down. I tought he was gonna give it up like he ALWAYS does.

    watch the pistons some more. they're a half-court mostly isolation team. tmac will do that a lot, just part of the offense to create space.

    then why the hell are you even commenting on tracy's play and his role on this team?

    anyways, another double figure scoring game for tmac. excited about his future the more i see him play.

    i wouldnt say he has given up but maybe not as aggressive as he was at the start. I mean its understandable if other guys are making shots. U keep giving them the ball.

    It's not good

    Sure, I was wrong. It was a stretch where he just wasn't moving, wasn't in the offense few trips down the court and I tought that maybe it was it for him since his teammates were making shots. I WAS WRONG...

    But I guess you can't say anything negative about Tracy here? can you?

    But overall he's OK

    Maybe even he's good, but we should see how he'll respond in the fourth

    Looking at the box score, I like the scoring. He needs to shoot more fouls, drive it in, and initiate contact.

    You're right, you and I have been looking for that scoring consistency and its finally coming along, even on a back to back.

    the point is you're looking at ONE stretch (and tmac does that a lot in this offense, along with other pistons b/c like i said, they are an isolation team) and say he "gives up" b/c things dont' go well.

    i've criticized tracy, along with other people. nothing wrong with that.

    but you comment on a 1-2 possession stretch where they basically ran plays for other pistons, ISOLATION plays.

    it's like you don't even know what halfcourt basketball is. not every play involves all 5 players running around. not every team runs an adelman-princeton offense.

    he is looking to score more. but this team does have other "scorers" in prince, BG. tmac isn't (and shouldn't b/c he has lost that reputation) going to shoot the ball every time down.

    i like that tracy is looking to score more in the midrange. he does have a midrange game, unlike most players. he needs to eliminate the 3s, and yes like you said, get to the line more.

    i think he has proven he can score in double digit. now the goal is maybe 15+ points consistently. then possibly aim for 20. slowly, but gradually, tracy is getting there.

    Was Arnie working McGrady's knee??? Is it injured or he's just making sure?

    That makes sense.

    I think he is going to have a better chance especially if Prince gets traded at the deadline. Pretty much a starting lineup of: Stuckey, McGrady, Daye, Monroe, Wilcox??

    Let's hope Rockets are gonna win to
