T-Mac wise it was great. Team wise I don't like it because our young guys didn't play at all. And also, at the moment I just don't care any more about wins this season, I still hope we get the No1 pick and draft Okafor but I just don't see this happen. Another point is, that T-Mac is the only Orlando player worth mentioning for the game against Washington. T-Lue and Howard both played around 40 Min but just sucked. At least Howard grabbed some rebounds. But with all the attention drawn to T-Mac both should have had better FG%. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">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.</div> Never mentioned a blow out. I really don't care whether we win, but I want to see our young guys getting minutes. T-Mac can have his 46min, but T-Lue and Howard getting more than 40 is just too much.
I'm no regular orlando fan but I saw that game the other day on TV and my jaw dropped at how hot T-mac was and unstoppable. Amazing, I underestimate his skill at times until now.
Coranor, actually I was talking to King James X3 about the blowout. Probably should've quoted him. =)
Crazy man, crazy. Mac Daddy?s gonna snatch the scoring title again this year. Only if he made his free throws man, he woulda reached 70. I thought it was insane though? good game for him, the team?s been struggling all year long, this one?s kinda like a exploding point for him, letting out the frustrations. Remarkable game.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Coranor:</div><div class="quote_post">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?</div> Man who cares about the other people in a game like that?? lol and King James I'm glad it wasn't a blow out because then T-Mac was probably going to get sit in the bench. Just awesome...he owed me a career high this season after getting injured in that 36 pts in one half game...
You know the most pathetic part about this game for us. Tmac lead the team in assists. :shock: You would think Lue would have like 20 assists, just giving the damn ball to Tmac. He only had 4. I agree with Coraner though, the young guys need to play. There is no way that Juwan and Lue should get 40 mins. Juwan should get close, but Lue shouldn't even get 30. I like every win, but I just wish we would have played Gaines, Zaza, Hunter, Bogans more.
That's because most of the time T-Mac brang the ball up himself and made his own shot and Juwan had 4 Assists aswell..Bogans had 3..
As much as I wanted AI to get the scoring title. Scew it. Just give it to TMAC. Not 40...Not 50..Not even 60..But 62 is phenominal. He was grabbing alley's off of inbound passes and getting fouled at the same time, he was even hittting half court shots. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Tmac, if he hates zone D and still scored 62, imagine how much he can score if he likes some type of defense</div> Despite scoring 62. Thats going a little over board. He was just really feeling last night. Buts it not like he's going to do it every night. If they wasnt playing any zone on him, he would have most likely have 75 points. But again <font color="DarkOrange"><font size="4">GREAT</font></font> performance by T-Mac.
Well he had to take a bunch of shots if he shot 29%. I like him taking the shot if he's wide open and set up, but not after a pick, fadeaway over a bigger guy, with 10 on the shot clock. If there was 1 on the shot clock you gotta shoot, but don't force a shot with 10 secs in.
Great win the Magic and great playing by McGrady. He should've made his freethrows though. He could've had 70
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TMac_OwNz:</div><div class="quote_post">Man who cares about the other people in a game like that??</div> I'm a Orlando fan, first of all, than comes T-Mac. Well, Orlando did win this and it was a great perfomance by T-Mac but I just don't like that our young guys don't get any playtime. Other than that, basketball is not a one-man-show. Against a weak team like Washington it may work but not against good teams. And Orlando must really start playing team basketball and working out our young guys.
I know team comes first , but you said it , is ok when we play against "weak teams" (Wizards had 7 players on their roster , 6 with Dixon out no Kwame or Jerry.) . That's what I was trying to say but I do agree with you in what we should do for the rest of the season. T-Mac will always have a big game no matter which young guys or old guys we play lol but that's what I was trying to say and just celebrating T-Mac's 62.
