Brooks, McGrady, Ariza, Scola, scrub with Battier, Hayes, Landry and maybe Wafer off the bench doesn't inspire any confidence
but they lack size and a pure scorer
considering practically nobody on that team can create their own shot.
unless T-Mac somehow produces a renaissance

That squad minus McGrady and Ariza is the squad that forces the Lakers to 7 games. After Yao went down that exact team won 2 games from the Lakers. That's more than enough confidence me thinks.

He's dynamite, but it's going to be tough for him to score constantly when defenders are focusing more on him, unless he suddenly becomes Chris Paul or Deron Williams.
As for McGrady, it really depends how well he comes back from knee surgery: he's already seemed to have slowed down a little. Everybody knows what Chris Webber and Penny Hardaway were like after knee surgery. Neither had the athleticism, agility and mobility that had previously made them stat-sheet fillers. If T-Mac comes back without that explosiveness he has, he's not going to find too many good shots for himself or create any shots for teammates.
He was able to score 20 ppg in 07/08, and I think that he could do that again, especially without Yao and Artest.
