    EXACTLY. Nobody should no longer care about this guy. He is a liar.

    One day you read that he has turned the corner in rehab feeling the best he has felt and than he sits out. He will NEVER be 100%.

    I think the pistons should be playing him more. his turnovers have been low and his shooting has been minimal. no need to start him, just see if he blossoms as a 6th man leader. their current starting lineup is not working. start ben gordon and not stuckey. you'll have a fine reserve 5 with tmac at pg, stuckey at sg where he belongs, maxiell, villanueva (maybe start him in place of prince), and monroe.

    One thing I know about Detroit Pistons.

    Give as many minutes to BG as you can. This guy is actually stepping up. Forget about Rip, Tay. They were needed when they were winning. Same goes for Wallace.

    Use BG cause this guy is for real.

    Biggest downfall of a former superstar/star, happened so fast.

    That's usually the way it happens. Get that one injury you never quite recover from.

    I thought Steve Francis was much quicker. Once he left the Rockets and didn't have Mobley in the back court, he was exposed.

    McGrady is getting better every time he hits the floor.

    Looks like he is. I haven't seen many games but from what I read he is getting better. They said he will be good at mid season.

    Maybe the trade at the deadline is still an option.

    Well said by Dumars. If you don't bring it every night and actually put effort, you will be limited.

    And btw.

    'I just don't feel it tonight'

    Only Tracy can do that. He just comes out and says that. I can imagine. Coach thinks maybe it is time to give Mac more minutes and ask him to do more and 5 minutes later he comes and says: 'I just don't feel it tonight'.

    Coach: Tracy, can we talk for a while?
    Tracy: Sure. I also got some things to you to talk about
    Coach: So I have been thinking about that, you played very well last game and I may give you more minutres tonight
    Tracy: But...
    Coach: What?
    Tracy: I just don't have it tonight. My knee really hurts and I can't play.
    Coach: Whatever...

    He's scored 5 points so far tonight, his shot looked good, he moved pretty good as well.

    He should of just signed with a team that really needed a SF. Now he's stuck in a jam with the Pistons who are an awful team anyways.

    he looks pretty damn good tonight. but again, playing with these damn ballhogs, tmac will never have shot attempts. but it appears he doesn't care about stats. he just wants to continue to get better.

    Exactly, he looks quicker on defense.

    He looked frustrated when he was going to the bench though, he wants to play and I think the Pistons have told him you will get your minutes soon, Hamilton and/or Prince will be traded.

    As soon as he gets his legs he can help the team. I think a whole season practicing in Detroit will get him ready for next season to be an impact player next season. Not an all star but definetely an impact player

    He signed with Detroit because they were the only team who would give him a contract...

    Hasn't he had almost 2 years to get his legs? He's washed up. Next season he'll be playing for Yao's team in China.

    Jumpshot looked good, he made back to back shots.

    The thing is, coach Kuester is an idiot. Look, he plays Hamilton who doesn't play defense ans shoots 4/13 on 32 minutes and than he uses Prince (3/11) for 37 minutes.

    And of course BG played only 20.

    And let me tell you this. Something is wrong with either McGrady's health or Kuester just doesn't want him. There is NO BACK TO BACK tonight and yet McGrady only plays 8 minutes.
