    Well, sorry, but next time it helps if you insert this :rolleyes: I may have over-reacted, but I'm sure I won't be the only one who thought something otherwise about your statement.

    Anyways, I totally agree with everything else you said. Shame on people who think Tmac is using his injuries as an excuse.

    Just goes to show what a tough guy he was to play hurt at such a high level. I also appreciate the level of commitment to have surgery immediately after the season. This is unlike knuckleheads that wait until 3 weeks before the season starts.

    So true. So often you hear about players that wait barely before preseason starts to have their surgery and thus they don't have to participate in training camp and preseason games.

    Dr. Tom Clanton needs to name his family yacht after the Rockets.

    As far as I know he's never had surgery before, and you should shut up.

    What's so sarcastic about my post? I was being serious. We need a fully healthy T-mac to succeed.

    It may not guaranteee it, but it can sure help if used wisely. I tend to go for the wink personally.

    Since I mention it, is there a wink here? I'm thinking not...



    Back on topic, let's hope for a full recovery for guys.

    I don't know, internet sarcasm is hard to detect, but I think the point is to have it without the :rolleyes: face. However, it even says (Sarcastic) if you hold your mouse over the :rolleyes: face.

    As far as basketball and surgery, I can't believe we are such a battered team. We still played really well! Took the j*zz to 6 games!

    3 months to recover? I hope he doesn't go in to training camp out of shape... when is he going to have the time to work on his game?

    Hey, I thought it was funny. (And obvious.)

    If I were you, though, I wouldn't change my posting style just because someone isn't sharp enough to pick up on sarcasm.

    He will definitely be if he's totally, 100% healthy. Even this season he's on ESPN's Adande's top 5 MVP list, when he's got an injury-plagued season, not totally fit, and not having a full-strength supporting cast.

    People new to this board or who got on the bandwagon after the win streak won't understand what it was like during the hard times. Yes, I'm talking about the infamous "Clutchfans civil war" between Yao and Tmac fans. Now, if you were alive during those days (just take it and run with it here), you would know what hating (on both sides) was all about.

    What pmac said would've been a normal statement by someone who hated Tmac with a passion. Thats why I overreacted because it statements like that, even though it was meant to be sarcastic, would've been the norm back in those days. So don't think that just because I have a different perception of sarcasm doesn't mean I'm sharpless.

    But I digress, lets get back to loose particles and T-Lady's obvious act. (no sarcasm intended).
