Tracy McGrady usually frustrates the opposition with his offense. This time, it's the scoring champ's words stinging his former coach.

McGrady returns to Orlando on Thursday night, six months after he and the Magic parted on bitter terms following a blockbuster seven-player trade with the Houston Rockets. The team didn't think he was a leader; he distrusted the organization's ability to surround him with a decent supporting cast. But Orlando coach Johnny Davis is most bothered by McGrady's recent comments to Sports Illustrated that the All-star guard ``slacked off,'' disheartened by loss after loss.
