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

My guess is health. I think it's a good idea to bring McGrady along slowly. He's had too many setbacks and can't afford another.

 

i dont' think it's health. BG only played 20 minutes and he's their best scorer. it could be dumars is telling him to play hamilton and prince more to audition them for trades. there have been rumors.

there is no way hamilton and prince should play that many minutes considering their struggles. they played better in the 4th, but only stuckey really was into the game.

 

Exactly, I think Prince and Hamilton will be traded by the deadline.

And they are bringing in McGrady slowly.

 

Actually I noticed it immediately after the 2005-2006 season when he was out with the back injury. He lost a lot of elevation in his jumpshot and in turn his line drive jumper became worse than Rafer Alston's. Then I noticed his change in demeanor. He stopped wanting to score the ball. Instead he became a "playmaker" which took a lot of attention from the fact that he couldn't score the ball anymore. His offensive game became atrocious and his efficiency was way low. Sure he'll have a few stints in a game where he needs to prove to himself and everyone that he can still make a quick move to the basket, but most of the time he's content with walking up and down the court and palming the ball.

 

It's wierd that people here talk about the Pistons game last night without mentioning Charlie V's 30 points.

He was CLEARLY the best guy on the bench. he played 35 minutes.

 

because he is cancerous to his team and the league...

 

Good point.

Villa has been really solid this year.

Got him in fantasy, just picked him up for Douglas!

 

Vincent Ellis said it was coach decision. I could care less about Tracy, but BG player 20 minutes. This can't happen. JUST CANNOT.

 

They have this weird obsession with Prince and Rip. They're playing terribly, and notice that Ben gordon is shooting 55% on the season as a SG....and is stuck behind RIp...that's just lame.

:grin:

 

on second and third point, did Tracy screaming when doing lay up?

 

wow so Tmac has officially ended his use of his left leg. He just refuses to jump off of it, which makes him a left handed player

 

Good point. Haven't seen him even try to go right once this season.

 

mcgrady needs to study scola...

X-TREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He needs to get over that mental stage.

I think he is mobile enough to score 15 a night.

 

He will never get over that mentally. He has said many times it is behind him but it isn't.

 

ROFLMAO

 

Have to say that as far as moving oin the floor he is looking really, really nice. He is also quicker.

But that is all for now.

 

But he brings completly no energy and is basically standing in the corners on offense.
