[Chron] Adelman, McGrady appear to be on same page

Adelman was joking. That's what "facetiously" means.

 

This is damage control on the Skillzlab video from this morning.

Maybe that's exactly what T-mac has done and why Adelman is talking about playing him.

 

Perhaps, then he should not have posted anything on his website, he gets himself in more trouble than anyone else.....

i don't think feigen know anything about the skillzlab until someone wrote a response in his blog. and i'm sure he then went straight to tmac and adelman about this

 

It's not looking for something, that is a really pu$$y move, to say "Hey I'm coming back! Wait what?...who? yeaaaa lets save it for Toronto."

 

I think at this point it's a bit nitpicking? I mean clearly Rick the Ruler nor T-mac really cared to dwell on that. Doesn't seem like it inflamed anyone but his distractors. Whatever damage T-mac has done, he has done and let's be honest, if this is the worst we get from t-mac, these skill lab quotes on his website - it's not so bad.

Saying you don't know what's up when you don't and are feeling frustrated isn't all that bad. Players do it all the time. Players even you respect.

I don't think it's worth dwelling on it.

 

Do you know what joking around means?

 

"Maybe I should have talked to him about that"...I have a feeling that communication failed at both ends here, T-Mac and Coach/Rockets. To place all the blame on one side seems a bit odd.

 

did you even read the article?

adelman said tmac wouldn't play anytime soon with no timetable. what makes you think playing v. the cavs was up to tracy to decide?

so you think if tracy wanted to play v. the cavs, adelman would let him?

 

He was joking with the interviewers.

 

Yes! Very good. You got it.

 

And your argument is?

 

Even if he was messing with T-Mac and testing him, of course he wouldn't want to come out and play against LeBron. I mean who the heck would want to start out playing LeBron when they haven't played in so long? That would be stupid...that can't be used as some kind of hit against T-Mac. Oh, he didn't want to play LeBron in his first game...yeah...and...?

 

He was talking to the interviewers about joking with McGrady.

 

I thought Adelman had zero interest in playing McGrady. Somebody was not telling the exact truth ...

 

There is no argument, you just admitted that Adelman was joking with the interviewers about T-mac coming back against LeBron.

 

You're saying he's also putting words in Tracy's mouth?

 

looks like Adrian Wojnarowski and the Clutchfans "source" weren't so accurate after all.

 

I'm just glad we got some kind of story where it seemed like Rick and Tracy were on the same page. Not sure anything could be better at this point.
