Tracy McGrady getting some of that lift back?

[Dash]

Some decent looking plays the past couple of games, definitely encouraging to see him getting up like that again.

The first and third plays were with his left hand too. He's obviously not the same as he once was, but I see improvement from the past few horrid seasons.

[Built Ford Tough]

The sad thing is that he is still barely gettng off of the ground, yet it is a noticeable improvement from the past year or two.

Feels good to see him getting up and throw it down hard or get good blocks. He's having a good season so far and these stats is only what everyone expected (the other half of the fans expected an injury but right now it's not the case).

[Nitro]

Looking pretty good! He looks a LOT thinner than he has in recent years, and it appears that he's getting some confidence back. I still have yet to see a Pistons game this season, but I've been following them via box scores and the RealGM Pistons board, but it seems like he just is being way too passive. I think if he stays healthy and continues his improvement, he could be a nice 6th-8th man on a contender by next season.

[The Lone Granger]

He's looking like he could become a very solid role player for the Pistons assuming he stays healthy. Like everyone has been saying, he's really seemed to get some rythm back, and has been making some of these plays with his left. The weight like Nitro mentioned is another huge part of this in my opinion. With less weight, obviously that enables his already weak knees to be able to elevate better, and that's the reason that your seeing him get up this year. I was a huge T-Mac fan back in his Orlando and Houston days, and it's great to see him putting up some good moves lately.

Definitely. I think Tracy signing with Detroit is turning out to be the best decision he could have made. Detroit will very likely miss the playoffs this season and with no expectations, limelight and pressure Tracy is able to work himself into Detroit's lineup smoothly. Use this season as a developmental year and to gauge interest from contenders.

 

As for him being passive I think Tracy is worrying too much about fitting in with the team and how the fans and critics will perceive him.

[AllenIverson#1fan]

Keep in mind, he's only 31. ( I think) Look what Kobe's doing, look at what AI did when he was 31/32 he can be doing the same as them two. He just isn't getting a chance.
