    I got ya by 10 years....am 44 been a fan since 1972 (Which is before you were born BTW)......pass on the Smooth vs. DD charity game...but if you are ever in Austin, come on by Lifetime fitness and join in our noon time basketball games.

    If you are lucky you won't get hit in the melon with one of my pinpoint passes.

    tracy's favorite play is the curl off the screen (that was a staple under JVG and adelman). that hasn't been called for him at all this season outside of a few times.

    that will allow him to move more often; and he'll only move if he feels good. and hopefully he feels good.

    before he took the rest, he admitted he set himself AND the team back by keep playing; thats why he shut it down two times already.

    Wow, that'd be..... something.

    We will all see. Heard enough talk. We will see once he actually gets onto the court and "plays well" with the team. No more of these, "I only took 5 shots the first half" quotes. With the way the Rockets are playing now, he can not come in and attempt to dominate the ball.

    We will see how this works out very soon.

    Probably the pessimism, but did anyone else feel like that you were sitting through a sales pitch?

    I hope I see the old McGrady just like most but I have my doubts at this point as to whether he can buy into the team concept.

    Why didn't he do this workout in December when he shut it down?

    Tmac should have done this already, it is what I have been blabbing about for months.

    I am happy he is doing it now, but most would have done it BEFORE the season....and not in January.

    If the reports are true, Tracy should comeback a completely different player. 5.1 to 4.69 damn.

    I play at the SW Lifetime in Austin. You want me to spot you some points? One point per year?

    The cash goes to charity, everyone wins. Forty-four versus 34 isn't a huge difference in basketball age especially since I haven't played regularly in 2 years.

    Even if I'm physically better, you can demonstrate how the deep understanding of the intangibles overcomes any talent difference.

    How about a Clutch Charity Basketball Tournament. You could pair Clutch personalities with Celebrities, Retired Rockets players, etc....

    Make it two on two or three on three.

    Or forget the Celebrities. We can just do the peeps on the board. Some weekend in Houston. Do the tourney, raise some money, and then we all go to a game in a skybox.

    Then I can throw a pinpoint bag of popcorn at Dada's mellon.

    That depends on whether the team ends up without homecourt and it costs them a better chance at advancing, now doesn't it?

    Meaning what's done is done. Why get wrapped up on the past? Let's just be happy he is getting in shape and will be back healthy while the season's expectations are still salvagable.

    I am happy he has his confidence back and finally decided to push it....but that does not excuse him for his lackadasical effort for the first half of the year, at least to me.
