to some of these people, he won the scoring title every year and is better than shaq and kobe combined. you can't reason with crazy people dude.
obviously he's not back yet. his dunks aren't the explosive dunks he should get. he's still not doing well in the 4th. but he's moving better, beating guys off the dribble... things he couldn't do before. once his explosiveness gets up to speed, he'll be fine.
Its obvious your a fan so can I ask you a question. Whats percent chance would you think he could heal up and get back the strength in his legs.....errr leg. He is somewhat getting his shot back but he is also somewhat loosing his hands/grip. But back to the original, do you think 100 percent coming back or is there a slim chance in the back of your mind that he might not come back? I ask you really because I have seen you bust on tmac during his bad play which would be rare for any Tmac tag name wearer to do so i can expect some degree of truth and realism from you. So what say you? Are you worried or not even sweating it.
i've come to the conclusion last year that tracy will never be the 04-05 tracy, which is the top 3-4 player in the game. he'll never be that ever again. and it's stupid if anyone thinks so. but he can still be an elite player like he was last yr and easily what he did in the playoffs. yes he will regain strength in his legs. 100%? maybe not this year (for sure next year with another offseason). but he'll regain it enough to dominate more often. i saw a guy today who beat iguodala, thaddeus young, andrew miller, and willie green off the dribble with relative ease without a screen. i saw him attempting to dunk for the 2nd game since he returned (he tried to dunk in traffic v. the knicks). i saw how high he went up for the alley-oop today. his explosiveness off of a jump stop still isn't there, but it will come. by mid-february and march, i expect for him to CONSISTENTLY put up 21-22 ppg, 5-6rpg, 5-7apg. and that's the tracy we need. tracy played "pretty well" today. had yao play his normal game, it's a blowout. i've always had confidence in the guy b/c you simply cannot lose that much game in a span of 8-9 months. and it isn't like he got a major surgery that doctors say he will never regain his game again. the doctors said he will recover 100%. it takes time and it's frustrating. but maybe we're seeing tracy finally being back. he needs to play like tonight more consistently for me to be right. and hopefully i am.
Q: can these problems be fixed? A: we did in a few games. but now they are back. after the game, coach said, "we must learn from this game." we learn from this game because we lost, but things like this alwasy happen. it happened 2 month ago, 1 month ago, now it is the end of jan, and we are still in learning, still in learning, when is there gonna be an end? Q: are you worried about the team's current situation? A: you played here for 7 years, and you are not worried? indeed I am. Q: can't you find a little comfort here? I mean arount this time last year, you guys were up by 16, then lost the game. and after that you guys achevied something really great, a 22 winning streak. A: if I am 60 and now looking back at my past, I can recall, on jan 2008, we lost to phi and then we had a 22 win streak, maybe I would feel sweet. but here on jan 2009, we... what will happen in future, I don't know. Q: you think it is still possible to turn it around? A: of course it is. when it is possible it means the chance is 50-50. but which 50 you want? which 50 we want to have? silence.... Yao: don't know what happend. suddenly all thing collapsed, they scored one after another, it was like we stopped playing all of a sudden......not having a consistent line-up is only secondary, not having a conssistent way of playing is the major problem, I believe. we are still in learning, learning from every failure. we learn today, learn tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, we learn this week, next week, next month, we learn till april then we all go home. Q: what will you do after this game? A: knock the wall? like this, knock my head against the wall. But T-Mac got a dunk. Hooray.
I hope your right too bud because while proving my thoughts wrong it would give more wins so while my thoughts are wtf on Tmac and trade tmac for anything I also realize if he can come back to even last years performance it would be more W's. So I am hoping with you.
Regular NBA standard alright, McGrady standard generic. Though still he's just 1 of 2 guys on this team, Wafer the other, thats capable of even that. Landry if you want to count him. He's kinda coming around. Havent been too mad with him. Just need more than Yao and Scola to shoot efficiently in a game for once.
