Tmac played over 40 minutes last night. Guess how many times he drove to the basket? 1 time, when the Rockets were up by 1 point, with 2 minutes left in the game (and he missed both freethrows).
That's how bad Tmac's physical condition is in recent year. At age 29, he is playing like 39. Tmac is not Tmac anymore.
Its his fault, he put himself in this mess. He had poor physical conditioning in Orlando; so it just all fell on him when he arrived here and was in his later 20s. Hes also become more passive, McGrady had a high load to carry in Orlando *sigh* but once he realized he has another star to work with, he doesn't think he has to put as much effort. And the fact that he magically turns into superman when Yao goes down should do that theory a little more.
But yeah, we've got to work with what we've got. Maybe hes just not trying as hard? And maybe waiting come playoff time? We better hope
