    Thats exactly what im talking about. That shows you how unfruitful it is to engage in a meaningful conversation to learn something when all you can give me is "fat"

    What a load of Bull you're in here posting and cannot present proof of what you're accusing.

    Use some critical thinking. How do you get fat? It's not by rehabbing and training properly.

    Please go see what BMI or body fat % constitute being called fat? Even idiots know that

    That last line was pretty rough. It came out of nowhere.

    Yes, they did. Apparently, it was all about McGrady. The fact that the team had two more years and retooled their entire roster from when McGrady was last healthy clearly had no impact on how the team did.

    Did you figure that out all on your own?

    I ask you for proof you cannot provide and you continue to go on a rant about fatness

    Its okay man, Its just sad to see people posting mess like this and its just internet fodder. Its very difficult as a basketball fan to take things like this serious.

    in this video, you saw

    1. tmac drive, go for offensive rebounds and making plays. not at the volume he use to but it at least shows he's contributing to the team.

    2. aaron brooks with a cold blooded clutch shot

    both are hated by this board for poor reasons. as soon as they were injured and failed to say the politically right thing, they were shunned without discourse.

    Every player has issues with management. You must have a really strained issue with management to get traded like that.

    Clutch mentioned that the relationship between the Rockets/Tmac would not end well. He was right.

    In Clutch we trust.

    What evidence is there that doctors were wrong in this case?

    Why would he voluntarily get microfracture? I don't know, you'd have to ask him. He's the one who did it. What else do you call it when you go to multiple doctors until you find one who will perform the surgery?

    Why don't we compare them when they were actually good?

    Oh, how about against each other.

    And in the clutch when it matters?

    I like Kevin martin but he has nothing on a healthy T-Mac

    The fact that a doctor found a need for microfracture surgery when the original doctors said he was fine speaks volumes. What evidence do you have that the doctor finding the need was wrong?

    You seem quite definitive about his motives for someone who actually doesn't know.

    I call it getting multiple opinions - something that is done all the time. Doctors misdiagnose illnesses and injuries all the time. Doctors also miss injuries all the time - even multiple doctors. As I noted, it happened with several Astros players in the late 1990's alone.

    If he knew something was not right in his knee, and the Rockets' doctors told him he was fine, he would be stupid not to talk to other doctors.

    No evidence, but I'm not the one floating the possibility that McGrady was misdiagnosed.

    Who told him his knee was "fine"? You keep repeating that. Saying you don't need microfracture isn't the same as saying nothing is wrong.

    If I played basketball everyday of my life, and my knee hurts like **** every time i move, but a few doctors I asked claimed I was fine even though the pain is not getting any better, I'm sure I would want multiple opinions too. And when I do find a doctor who has an idea of the source of my pain, I'm pretty sure I'll take his opinion more seriously than others.

    I mean it's like some people here never suffer from conformation bias.
