All these moves this late in the season. Its like they're officially throwing in the towel. What a bunch of losers.
Solid signing to back-up Kawhi tbh. Better than using Manu/Green at SF.
Tracy McGrady Loses CBA Debut On Sundiatta Gaines Game Winner
Posted on November 26, 2012 by Stephen Coston
It’s been approximately one month since Tracy McGrady arrived in China to a hero’s welcome, and the former NBA scoring champion and seven-time All-Star has finally made his Chinese Basketball Association debut. On Saturday morning, McGrady scored 34 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and dished 9 assists for the Qingdao Doublestar Eagles. Though his statistics were remarkable, T-Mac’s Eagles fell to 0-1 after he was embarrassingly stripped of the ball as he dribbled too casually with just 15 seconds to go in a tied game. To make matters more humiliating, McGrady would not be given an overtime period to redeem himself. Sundiatta Gaines, who famously made his NBA debut by beating LeBron’s Cavaliers at the buzzer, banked in a three to earn Fujian a victory in his first CBA game. You can watch the dramatic sequence unfold right here…
Gaines had scored just 15 points on 16 shots prior to his last-second banker, so despite the untimely turnover McGrady clearly outplayed his counterpart. Unfortunately, he ran into the international king of beginner’s luck.
Sundiatta Gaines must keep a four-leaf clover in his sneaker and a leprechaun in his pocket. The Wizards ought to sign him to reverse their fortunes.
Tracy McGrady Gets Taunted By Chinese Player, Elbows Him
Posted on December 9, 2012 by Stephen Coston
Tracy McGrady’s CBA experience has been a frustrating one. Although he’s been productive on an individual basis, his Qingdao Eagles are dead last in the standings. Yet to win a game in six tries, McGrady’s road only got bumpier this morning as Qingdao paid a visit to Beijing, where Stephon Marbury and the reigning-champion Ducks awaited. The Eagles never stood a chance, losing 114-102 despite T-Mac’s game-high 37 points. Beijing pulled ahead when they outscored Qingdao 29-14 in the second quarter, presumably the period during which McGrady sat (American starters usually sit the second quarter due to the minutes limit imposed on “import” players).
Fed up with all the losing, T-Mac wasn’t in the mood for shenanigans. So when Beijing’s Ji Zhe broke out the Mutombo finger wag after connecting on a late three-pointer to put the Ducks up 22, T-Mac hit him with an elbow to the chest that knocked Zhe to the floor.
Based on what I’ve gathered from a translated Sina Sports article, McGrady was notejected from the game for what Stephon Marbury called “a dirty play.” Officials don’t go to replay on these sort of things in the CBA, and based on the video it’s unclear whether or not they even saw exactly what happened.
Pretty unwise of Ji Zhe to wag his finger directly in the face of a former NBA All-Star who has been experiencing as much adversity as McGrady. While I don’t condone violence, those who blatantly taunt others should fully expect retaliation. At least McGrady didn’t go upside his head a la Metta World Peace.
