Itottaly agree. . feigan in his piece mentioned that tracy will be good to go within the first 8 or 9 games of the saason. he is just lacking legit match fitness and confidence. that will come.
I didn't see thet game, but it looked like Tracy had a nice game shooting 50% from that field on 7-14. I see Yao and Artest played well too from looking at the boxscores.
T-Mac didn't look good the 1st half but looked much better in the 2nd half. I mean physically , even in slow motion he got buckets in the 1st half because he is so good. Yao was good on offense but had a hard time keeping a hand on Hawes' jumoshot and jeeping him off the boards , he will be alright. Artest looked great as usual.
It looked like T-Mac was stiff in the first half. In the 2nd he was more relaxed. As for Yao, as you said he looked good offensivly but there was no defense from him. Maybe it was a gameplay, but I didn't see Hawes shooting contested jumper or shot in this game. Artest is Artest, he loves to play in Arco arena.
Oh ok. Maybe he felt a lot better in the 2nd half or maybe he just didn't think about his knee at all. Whatever the case maybe I hope his knee gets better as time goes on.
Too bad he didn't attempt any ft. BTW I think he should have attempted some because he was clearly fouled. but this is preseason, you can't complain. you just gotta make sure you get those calls during rs
Brooks is out. Francis is not ready. Battier is not ready. T-Mac is half ready. Head will play 24+ minutes. Von Wafer may play 5-10 minutes. Lucky it's the Grizz. Easy Win. 95-83 Rockets Win. Go Rockets!
