Clevland Cavaliers defeated Washington wizards 111-98 to clinch their first win of the season .. Ricky Davis and Darius miles both led the way with 26 pts .. and LeBron had a very good night included 17 pts 8 assissts and 9 rebounds ! important victory for Cavs ! in the other hand .. Orlando magic lost 96 - 86 .. ! and again .. not a good game for T-Mac who had 14 points of 5-21 FGS !!! Steve Franchise led the way with 31 points ..

Ouch, bad game. What is up with TMac this year? He hasn't had a string of games this bad in a very long time.
Thats right cow, I don't know what is wrong with this team, but it is getting real ugly, really fast. This won't last much longer without some type of major changes taking place.
T-mac is not motivated..not putting the right amount of effort into his game.Which is the reason the Magic are doing so bad.He is shooting less than 38% for the season... I reckon he has caught the "Antonie Walker of last year bug"
Wow, I am shocked, T-Mac is the reason why the Magic lost there last 4 games. Just terrible. I dont think it is the zone defense only. He is missing open threes. Last year he shot 46% from the field and 39 % behind the arc. This year he is shooting 35% from the field. Eventually the pressure will go on G Hill. Just retire.

Well, anyways, yea, I agree with you there that they will make a change in some way, I'm not sure if he'll go and do what Cartwright did in Chicago and yank him from the starting line and put him on the bench, which is what he did with Rose and Crawford last night, both of which performed quite nicely. Who knows though, strange things have been happening this year and seeing TMac benched to start the game would almost not surprise me.
"I dont worry about these young kids, coming out of high school and not getting their education. They will be alright . I will be taking them to school every night" ... T-Mac Yea he is really taking these kids to school . Good job Tracy. If you dont want to play anymore than retire.
Said in the Sentinel today that he has been considering retirement. (From the Sentinel: McGrady said he even had questioned whether he had lost his "passion for it. ... if I lost my love for the game.") I don't think there is anything too this other than T-Mac needs to get his head in the right place and refocus. We all know, get him angry and he'll burn you. Let him get cocky (aka Detroit guarantee) and he'll get complacent and fall asleep on the court.
He is going to continue to struggle , until he finds out how to beat the zone. To beat the zone you have to move without the ball , something Tracy doesnt do. Tracy runs up the court and stands on the wing, expecting to get the ball.
Just a heads up, the latest Rubashow Rundown is posted in the JustBBall Exclusives Forum and it takes an in depth look at the Magic's embarrasing start.

Things will pick up for him and he'll break out in a big way (40 or 50 points)

It's T-Mac who has been taken to skool ... oh ..btw .. the rockets last night didn't play much of Zone at all ... they almost played Man to Man the entire game !
I think TMac is just struggling to find a shot. The games I've seen this year, his jump shot has not looked good at all. It's off the mark and everything. He needs to work on getting that back. But, I think he also needs to be more aggressive, he needs to go the hole. He's bigger than most every shooting guard in the league. Plus, he's got all the skills to do so. So, when he finds his stroke and starts to go to the hole, look out. I have full confidence that he'll get it going here soon.
