    Bullard and Bill just said that Tmac had another 3t-magnetic MRI in the Clemens institute and it revealed a tendon strain in his knee.. I believe the called it a "popliteal tendon strain" and it might keep him out a couple of weeks..

    someone needs to be fired.. *cough* Keith Jones *cough* ..

    looks like the "soft McLady" wasn't faking it after all.. :rolleyes:

    I can't believe a professional athletic trainer for an NBA basketball team made this kind of assumption that an MRI isn't needed..wtf??

    Huh? Isnt' that tendon at the BACK of the knee? Then we are dealing with 2 seperate injuries....

    1. The Bone bruise in the knee cap area.

    2. Popliteal inflamation at the back of the knee (jumpers knee can cause this).

    Well the strain could've happened AFTER Keith Jones claimed it wasn't unnecessary (Pistons game).

    I don't know Dr. DaDa, but what I know at this point is you better stop your Tmac bashing B.S immediately because this looks for real..

    hes had a history of tendinitis in his knees. Remember he sat out like the last 10 games of the season before we traded for him. Although he could have just been lazy and decided not to finish the season.

    Or it was the best excuse to stop questions about why the guy isn't on the court.

    the more they're trying to cover this up the more t-mac's trade value will drop.
