T-mac's career without Injuries

[NovU]

Watched LAL vs DET tonight, I think T-Mac is actually quite good now, once again. Despite the turnovers, he seemed comfortable leading the offense(as a PG) and driving in to finish. His jumpers were slightly off but other than that, he was the best player on DET tonight. This makes me think Miami should have picked him up cheap. Props to Tracy for now. Hoping to see him keep it up and hopely lose a few pounds.

Anyways, I think it's pointless to talk about where he'd be if it wasn't for injury. There were already thousand of articles/comments/posts on that from everywhere. However, it's definitely easier to say that he'd have never won a ring as a Rocket anyways.

He's a player that needs the ball in his hands to be effective.

[NovU]

Yeah, definitely.

But entire Pistons suxed ass anyways. Their offense was limited to Ben Gordon shooting contested jumpers, and funnily isolating Tayshaun Prince. Both didn't work that well, and only productive player tonight was T-Mac. Not that he was great like old days, but he seemed to be more than ok on both ends of the floor. His D wasn't too shabby nor his offense was, especially considering how Artest was on him most of the night.

T-Mac is starting to look like his old self. He'll never get his athleticism or speed back to the level they once were, but these past few games he's looked really good. There was one play tonight where he post Kobe up, then spin and dunk. Glad to see him get more minutes nowadays. I've always say that the Piston's coach is stubborn for playing him 9-10 minutes a game earlier.

Props to T-Mac for finally keeping his mouth shut, accepting his role and not complaining.

[Stress Fracture]

Not like Iverson.

Yeah, he's showing signs of his old self. And, he's on the floor when the game is close and they need scorers. Kuester has finally realized T-Mac's ability.

Umm, im not sure if he woulda won a championship or anything (The 2009 Rockets would have been his best chance tho imo, i was so psyched for that mini big three with Ronny Yao and TMac but then Yao first went down, i was like WTF then i read TMAC was getting that surgery then it was back to the cavs lol) but in his last couple season in Orlando and first 2 seasons with Houston i think he was the best scorer in the NBA for that time frame (kinda like the Kobe of now)

All the stuff he did in this video is pretty much what Kobe is doing now that we all go crazy over. I mean if this was now in 2K11, his Shot off dribble and shot in traffic would be like 250 a piece.

What's with the laugh? He has the ability. Have you ever watched him play when he was at Ohio State?

Dude I laughed at the last two selections , chill out

[Bruce]

well, I would also like to point out, what if t-mac had stayed put n toronto. Maybe t-mac and carter's careers would have been better. Maybe even John Wallace's career woul have been better too. Wallace wan not that impressive as a player. But before t-mac bolted, toronto had some really good pieces.

[kibaxx7]

I like this new T-Mac Shame the Pistons struggling record. to T-Mac for accepting his role.

[Stress Fracture]

Of course he would accept that. He still wants to play.

[sevin0seven]

it looks like T-mac is starting and playing more minutes again..

[Murat]

We could see an unstoppable monster scoring 50 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists and 6 steals, just happy too with McGrady's 20-5-5 stats. Hehe. He could play at Conference SEMI-FINALS too.

[Stress Fracture]

Those days are gone, Badger. We've already accepted that fact a long time ago.

[Maaarf]

I'm gonna make a thread called "T-Mac's career with even more injuries" ......

[Stress Fracture]

No need, Maaarf. We already know what happened.

He's starting to become more consistent as he gets more playing time. T-Mac is putting up double digit scoring every game now, and more importantly it seems like he's starting to get those speed and hops back. He's dunking and finishing on alley-oops now, and he's also playing the point guard position very well for Detriot. He's running the offense fairly well in my opinion. These are delightful to see.

[NovU]

He's playing PG these days. Having watched his game, he reminded me of Anfernee Hardaway trying to make a comeback. Obviously, T-Mac's doing good at that while Penny failed.

[Mandich]

Penny is my fav player all-time. Man how injuries can fuck up people . .

You name them. So many great players were screwed because of injuries. Some are fortunate to even come back and play, unfortunately, most of them aren't that fortunate..
