Tmac didn't go for the triple double. He jacked up some wild shots at the end instead of passing it.

I am puzzled as to what happened to Yao in the last 2 minutes. He was having a great game to that point and suddenly started sucking horribly. It had better not carry over to tomorrow.

Energy off the bench by guys like brooks landry and wafer are huge. Tmac just did everything tonight our season rests on his shoulders when he plays well all around we look so much smoother.

Took care of business. As long as 2 of the 3 played we were gonna be ok. McGrady came back and had a McGrady type of game. Go to the foul line...and made plays for his teammates. Good to see him back...the real test will be tomorrow night. Will he or won't he play.

Nice to see us not shy away from Scola...he owned the Warriors in the 3rd and helped open up that lead. Yao again getting blocked by smaller players. But he played well especially in protecting the basket and against a cold shooting Warrior team that proved to be the key defensively. Just a solid take care of business game. Competition goes up a bit tomorrow but still its another bad team. Need to continue to feast on these bad teams.....

Yeah, I don't think McGrady's ever interested in getting the triple-double. He has had a bunch of games where he was shy of 1 rebound or 1 assist.

This only happened in about a 2 minute stretch near the end of the game. Before that he was doing fine. I am puzzled as to why that happened, and I don't want to see it carry over to tomorrow.

McGrady had a fine game.

Game was pretty much over by then, Yao was coasting.

At least he's not as soft as your sorry ass no defense playing team. What do you guys give up? like 150 pts per game? :lol:

Good win, should not have let them give us the scare at the end, but we pretty much had the game in control from the start.

T-Mac moved very well tonight, and looked more like the McGrady from previous years, he shot 6-15 which we've come to accept (though he was shooting fine before chucking towards the end), but he had the 9 ASSISTS. That's why he was important to our team in the past it wasn't just his ability to create for himself, but for others. So far this season, he hadn't done that, he had some nice offensive games, but did nothing off the pick and roll, took bad shots and didn't find open teammates. He did that tonight, and was good on the boards. If he plays like **** tomorrow though, then the national tv thing keeps gaining more legitimacy, lol.

Yao was dominant on the boards in the third, and we did a FANTASTIC job for most of the game of getting the ball to Yao despite fronts. Though Warriors defense tired down as the game went on, he scored at will whenever he touched the ball (except in the 4th where he was blocked repeatedly, but like others have mentioned, the game was out of reach for the Warriors anyway). Landry gave us the spark in the 2nd quarter, and Scola gave us the huge spark in the third.

Good team effort, what I'm afraid of like it has been all season, to follow up a good win on the road, and follow it up with a crap effort against a mediocre team the next. Consistency is key, if only we could get fully healthy, sigh, lol.

Is it me...or does Tmac look totally out of shame. He just doesn't look as cut like he use to. Where are those muscles? He's got to lose a bit weight and get back to peak condition.

He is a little out of shape , he couldn't do much running in the off season , missed a lot of training camp and then had to sit out 2 weeks just now.

He can lose the weight easily I am sure , but I want him to get some explosivness back , he has one dunk so far this season , just one.

T-Mac could be hitting up Chinese buffets and Cici's pizzas with Charles Barkley for all I care as long as he has his **** together in February.
