Holy F'in Crap! T-Mac is god and my hero! LOL And he missed 9 FT's! He would've had 70.LOL OK, I'm love him now again.
At around 7pm EST the big news in the NBA was Kobe's return. THen T-Mac just took all that glory 2 and a half hours later.LOL I'm gonna savor this moment for a couple of days. Best thing to happen to the Magic in a while.LOL
He could of 71 if he'd made all his free throws, but it was still an awesome effort. 10 rebounds and 5 assists aswell in 46 minutes. Gilbert Arenas got 40 though.
Tmac once again prove worthy as an All-Star player status. He is the 15th person to have 60 or more point in a game. If he made 70, he'd be the fifth. Tmac is a truely amazing basketball player. Let's just hope he keeps this for years to come.
What a game. This is amazing. Tmac shot 20-37, but he missed 9 ft's and 10 of his last 11 shots. :shock: Just think if he made half the ft's he missed and half the shots he missed. What a game. Go magic!
Did he really miss his last 11 shots?LOL You hear his post game comments? He's already claimed the scoring title he says. Isn't that what we're playing for? the scoring title? LOL And who was guarding Arenas? The A.I Stopper, T.Lue?LOL Also, lost in the T-Mac hoopla was Howard's solid game tonight. He's been on a role as of late. Hopefully he keeps this up for the last month.(But we still lose. =))
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ZeroToOne50182:</div><div class="quote_post">58! haha wow hes going to smash your 58 now TMOwnz haha</div> Can anybody beleive me I told this guy T-Mac was feeling good in shoot around? I told him "I Can just see it on his face man I think he is going to have 40+ ", but then I told him "Career high man I can just see it on his face 58 Pts" 4 Pts short lol but I almost had it. I wish he could've made those FT :shock: I was waiting for MJ's record!
Dude, the guy is crazy! 62 points. so what if he missed a few free throws. thats the most points scored in a game since david robinson in 94! Besides the team record, do you think he is the second best player in the league right now next to garnett?
He is the best player under 6'8 in the league. "you are pretty much at my mercy no matter what defense you throw at me. "
Tmac, if he hates zone D and still scored 62, imagine how much he can score if he likes some type of defense. I remember early in the season when he scored just 4 points against Minnesota and its stellar zone D. After the game, frustrated Tmac kept saying he loved to entertain the crowds but it's tough to do so with the zone D. To this day, I don't believe that he could only manage just 4 points the whole game. I was thinking there was a deliberate thing on his part to score just 4 so that he could dip lower his scoring average so that he has a motivation to play better in the second half of the season, that is to increase his scoring average and lead the L in scoring again. I believe TMac can score 40 against the Wolves if he wants to, as long as the game is in the second half of the season.

Nonetheless, 60 pts is quite an accomplishment...wish I could've saw the game
T-Mac has become one of only four players in the past 12 years to score 60+ points in a single game, other names include David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, and who else but Michael Jordan. I believe this game held more merit than just T-Mac just setting a career high, instead it infact summed up The Magic's season in just 48 minutes of basketball. T-Mac scores 62 points, yet Orlando beats the woeful Washington Wizards by only 9 points!
Boy talk about a overshadowed 40 point game by Arenas. He had a great game too, and T-Mac has the best scoring game in the past 4 years. Man if he made all of his FT's, well it has been already stated. He had like a good Wilt Chamberlain FT's shooting performance. It is a amazing performance.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Player4Ever:</div><div class="quote_post">off topic, but i have to say this YUGOSLAVIA IS DEAD AND ITS NEVER GOING TO LIVE ON ! </div> wtf? And yugoslavia owns, I was in Belgrad (beograd) for new years
T-Mac had really a great game, but what about the rest? T-Mac had 54% FG%, but T-Lue only 29% and Howard 26% (however he rebounded not bad). And again our young guys didn't really play, I mean Bogans just 15min (his average is 23MpG) and Hunter only 11. Gaines and Pachulia didn't play at all. I don't like this win because our young guys weren't getting any minutes, so. But still T-Mac had a huge game, but apart from that?
How can you not like this win? This is the 1st positive news story for the Magic all year. =) T-Mac was the headline story last night. I loved it. Also, if we would've blown out the Wiz T-Mac wouldn't have played 46 min. So be thanks ful it was a close game.LOL
