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

T-Mac is in the game after Pistons 11-23 start :grin:

 

my goodness you don't understand a thing. Toronto made it FURTHER in the playoffs in that season. I guess tmac fans only care about the regular season.

Add a PLUS 7 wins for playoff success.

those are facts and those are both more successful team wise than tmac had when he was on both of those teams.

can you figure out what i'm try to show you?

Talking to you tmac fans is like talking to Tmac after he won his first playoff series.

 

and they are all even

T-Mac looks very good. He's moving well, he's playing active defense, he's making plays and he has +12 on +|- rating

 

tinman is just 16 posts behind number 1. Keep on!

 

RTM,
since you are a passionate tmac fan,

do you agree with this other tmac fan?

would tmac make a difference if he had stayed in toronto or orlando, and would you say that tmac was pretty good in the 00-01 season when he averaged 26.8 points a game?

that's the season after toronto.

Show me that there is such a thing a smart tmac fan.

 

Promising sign for McGrady.

He's playing well (Rebounding, Passing, Defense) and he got all 2nd quarter and some of the 1st quarter minutes.

His scoring needs to come soon.

 

1 pt 4 Rebs and 5 assist at half. That's a nice stat line. He really helps that Piston bench.

 

T-Mac was brought to the Magic as a third star behind Hill and possible Duncan. You'll never know which kind of player he would be alongside Grant or Vince, but I don't think that he was so amazing as his stats line in the first season as a Magic player, cause he was determined to pick up big numbers.

I think Toronto would reach ECSF with him or without him in the lineup. That was a really weak conference in the early 2000's and McGrady's Magic proved that, cause they had a horrible roster, but they were on a pretty good positions after ending of each regular season

I don't think that dwight would developed into Orlando leader behind Mac, but Howard would definitely develop to a true superstar player level much faster with Tracy like Yao did in Houston.

I don't know about Finals for Magic with him, cause D12 was a true leader of that team and droppin 40 on Cavs proved that, so, probably you would look on Dwight right now just as a guy behind Mac's ego.

 

In his other seasons as a part of Magic, he was the best swingman in the game. And certainly a top-3 player

 

fixed

 

It doesn't even seem like Tracy wants to score. You can see he is more in to setting up his teammates.

 

Maybe he should do it right now. 70-56 Clippers

 

His shot looks good again. Thats 5 out of 6 3 pointers now in the last 2 games. Playing alot more effecient. 5 assists and 4 boards in 23 minutes with 6 points without even forcing the issue. . His lift on his shot looks alot more McGrady like now.He can easily average 17-6-6 iof he wanted to take over the team but he is mature enough now to know thats not his current role.

 

Yeah its obvious he still has a high bball IQ, by the way he's playing right now. Looking to get others involved, rebounding effeciently, passing effeciently.. HIs scoring will come soon, just gotta be patient.

 

I knew he wasn't washed up

 

mac looking good

 

hows his defense? Obviously their team D is suspect, what about his man to man?

 

He's actually been pretty solid defensively. He's moving a bit better.

The only worries you should have is his scoring ability.

Can he still drive consistently?? Can he finish strong?? Draw fouls around the rim? Can he elevate after the drive around the rim???

We'll see.

 

Dont forget...How long can he stay healthy?

 

i just wish we can have one game where he just looks to score. unfortunately, he's always in the game with ben AND charlie at the same time. none of their are playmakers so it's all up on tmac to pass the ball around.

it's tough.

but the team as a whole plays a whole lot better with tmac. the first unit can be so god awful at times
