    Thank you voice of reason.

    I'd like to see some of these folks that call t-mac soft get out on the court in a real NBA game and see how "hard" they are. It's pretty easy to criticize when you're sitting on the coach at home with a cold in your hand and you have no real talent for playing BB at a pro or even amatuer level.

    where are the tmac haters when you need them?

    You make some good points. Let's wait and see what tmac does in the playoff.

    I've got a bone spur in one of my shoulders and had a cortisone shot for it several years ago. Don't know if they hit a nerve or what, but getting it hurt like hell. You can't get them very often, so it's wise to give him the time to heal a bit, so he gets the maximum benefit. It should reduce the inflamation and swelling that is giving him the pain. Man, the guy can't catch a break!

    (neither can we... :( )

    how has he been soft? he tried to play through the knee injuries and was seen hobbled during games when landry wouldn't even dare play through it.

    he has now played through the shoulder problem getting a cortisone shot before every game. did you see how badly his shoulder was bandaged during the seattle game?

    yea, he's real soft :rolleyes:

    yea, listen to what "others" say. why don't you watch the games for yourself?

    dude's been getting one every other day. no wonder his shooting is so bad in the first halves of games.

    noooo... the shot he got pre-game should be pain-killer. one shot of cortison every other day? too much side effect.

    i may be mistaken but he said in the interviews he's been getting a cortisone shot before every game since he sprained his shoulder (which has been every other day).

    anyways, cortisone is a strong anti-inflammatory drug. if he's been treating it for a while and it's still getting inflamed, that's a huge cause for concern. hopefully the rest will help him. we don't need him to get shots before every playoff game and take a while for hte meds to kick in.

    If only we'd have one complete season + postseason healthy, we'd be dynomite.
