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

he is backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

 

that in itself is a bit impressive. i mean can you do that? jump off your right foot when youre a right handed player? :grin:

 

I don't expect much, but I wish him well.

the encouraging sign is another step back, although he missed.

block was nice

 

Watching the games, it seems like the Pistons would have much better luck just running the offense through Tmac. Despite his stats, he seems to be the most positive gear in the offense when he's out there

 

i think they are doing this per kander's directions. multiple reports have stated (according to the trainer) that tmac won't be able to get big minutes until mid-season. so we won't see a spike in his minutes till january or so.

but i think finally there are signs that his career can be prolonged, and not as a scrub either. hopefully he can be a 6th man on a contending team. he can still pass with the best of them. and it seems like his offense is slowly coming back.

 

slowly? like 2 years?

thank goodness the pistons have better players on their squad.

 

yup that long. it really shows his patience.

 

should we have signed him for the minimum?

 

His offense wont be too good unless he realizes and isn't such a wuss to jump off his left leg.

 

In the last few games I think he's realized that. He was looking HARD for that alleyoop pass. Even in the game against the Wiz. When he finally got it he at least wasn't afraid to go up and dunk. That's good.

 

Because it takes 2 weeks to recover from MF surgery

 

nice :grin:

 

thats pretty much what mcgrady was telling the rockets last year. remember, he was 100% ready to go last year and the rockets and their coaches were screwing him over by trying to limit him to 8 minutes a game.

thanks dawg.

 

how long did it take amare?

 

i have to remind you that this charade was going on when he was with the Rockets.

but then again people who follow tracy mcgrady have their facts mixed up about his rocket's tenure.

 

faster than mcgrady's because of the following:

Stoudemire also took a dig at McGrady regarding his rehab from microfracture surgery on his left knee, which the Suns power forward underwent 41⁄2 years ago.

When asked about McGrady’s struggles, Stoudemire said, “It takes a lot of self-discipline. I’m not sure if everyone has it. When you have microfracture, you have to really control your diet, eating, workouts. You have to work out extremely hard, and really discipline yourself. That’s an attribute a lot of folks don’t have. I was blessed to have it.”

How come Stoudemire can't use that same discipline to be better on the defensive end?

Sounds like a hypocrite to me.

 

That has nothing to do with why Amare stinks on defense. He worked hard to be back on the court and become productive unlike Tracy Mc DNP.

 

Lol

Liar detected

I remember how he came back firstly. One good game like T-Mac had against Thunder then struggle, another struggle and sitting for the rest of the season in street clothes
