8 players in double figures

Choo-Choo

 

The days of yao centric offense are finished. it's team offense with more ball moveent and high% shots.

 

I think it should be mentioned in the title that one of those players was Chuck Hayes. 12 and 9 people, this is real.

 

Yeah, when Chuck Hayes scored in double digits and we won, you know we were doing something right on offense.

 

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

 

still in my short term memory man!

 

this is Pistons way of playing when they won the champ
this team must improve and with a piece who can fit( especially in center position) we can be contender

 

This is a perfect team for Rick, players who know and understand their role. Plus everyone is focused on pushing the rock and playing D on every possession. If not, there is a very capable backup ala Bobby Jackson waiting to get the minutes. A very competitive bench team 6 - 10.

 

reminds me of the Hubie Brown led Grizzlies teams that were good enough to make it to the playoffs two or three years in a row. completely balanced attack where 7 or 8 players all get 20 minutes of PT.

I still think we need a strong T-Mac to get us farther in the playoffs.

 

I would love to find out that the entire season will be this amazing, but I just can't see us carrying this kind of momentum through 82 games.

I agree, TMac can still be a big asset for this team when he returns. The primary thing that I hope occurs is that Brooks will continue the primary ball handling responsibilities in crunch time when he returns. At this point, I think Brooks is a better decision maker than McGrady. That said - Ariza is shockingly good, but his dribbling and driving in a clogged lane sill need improvement. If Tracy is aggressive, he is still the most athletic and skilled finisher in the lane. I don't think we need him shooting 3's at all anymore with Ariza, Brooks, and Battier all being better 3 point shooters than him.
