Tracy McGrady: God-Given Talent Hinders Your Practice Habits

We all know Tracy McGrady is a talented player. When healthy and in the prime of his career, McGrady was one of the most explosive players in the NBA. What hindered him at times was his work ethic. As you may remember, former Houston coach Jeff Van Gundy and GM Daryl Morey said last year that McGrady could be a Hall of Famer if he worked harder in practice.  Now that he is coming...

Hawks Insider: McGrady delivers again

When Joe Johnson joked that Monday night's 100-92 win over the Heat in Miami marked the "return of the (T-)Mac," he had no idea how appropriate it was for him to label Tracy McGrady's big night by bringing up a hit R&B song from the 1990s. The Hawks are certainly doing their best to wake up the echoes of a superstar whose time had seemingly passed. McGrady...

Tracy McGrady Turns Back The Clock For One Night

Growing up in Orlando, the team was always mediocre. Every trip to the TD Waterhouse Centre was still a treat. How could you get excited for the perpetual Grant Hill injury and the consistently 40-42 win team that was the early-2000s Orlando Magic? Tracy McGrady. It is easy to forget what a tremendous scorer McGrady was at one time. He was a 30-point per game guy and had the fluidity...

Maybe Hawks' general manager Rick Sund knew what he was doing after all, even if fans have been joking for weeks that the addition of the likes of Tracy McGrady, Jerry Stackhouse, Vlad Radmanovic, Jannero Pargo and Willie Green would do nothing more than make the Hawks an Eastern Conference afterthought come playoff time. But if their opening night performance -- a 106-70 thrashing...

Hawks go 4-1 on road trip

The nightmare is over. The crazy game of hopscotch that Atlanta has been on the past week-and-a-half ended with a convincing 100-77 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
