How do you know whether I play basketball or not? I've been playing basketball my life, and I've had my fair share of injuries (particularly the ankle) but atleast I don't go around bragging about how tough I am, and then criticize a professional athlete for not being tough enough. So stfu. I don't need to prove anything about myself, nor do I care what you think, because its sad enough that you're criticizing the toughness of a professional athlete. And what would you guys say if he played tomorrow and then gets a his shoulder dislocated or something? Huh? Then you'll blame him for being stupid and playing when he's hurt.
All right Mr. Internet Gangster. It's November anyway. I don't actually care whether McGrady plays tomorrow or not. If it were the playoffs or a crucial late-season game I'd care.
According to sportsmedicine.com- Strain Severity Strains are categorized in a similar manner to sprains: -Grade I Strain: This is a mild strain and only some muscle fibers have been damaged. Healing occurs within two to three weeks. -Grade II Strain: This is a moderate strain with more extensive damage to muscle fibers, but the muscle is not completely ruptured. Healing occurs within three to six weeks. -Grade III Strain: This is a severe injury with a complete rupture of a muscle. This typically requires a surgical repair of the muscle; the healing period can be up to three months.
tmac said he'll try to prove the doctors wrong and come back quicker than a week. but hey, people doubt you like that when u don't advance playoffs i guess. we all know tmac is trying his best to come back b/c he wouldn't want the team to go into a slide when he knows he can help. i expect him to make a speedy but healthy recovery.
I 2nd that. Why don't you all stick to the whole "this is yaos team and not tmacs" isntead of bashing tmac for an injury most of u never even had? Geez, show some f*ckin support to our star player. SHAME! I bet the Rockets would be hella embarassed having you all as fans. just wow
No, TOF's and YOH's are more annoying than both, and frequently TOF's and YOH's are exactly the same.
NO, you just run around acting like your basketball credentials give you more insight than the credentials of others whom you don't have the slightest idea about. YOU are the guy who needs to shut up.

i feel like I'm feeding a troll.... anyone saying that tmac should play when the best doctors that money can buy say otherwise are morons. how can you play when you can't move your arm? and... do you think he wants to sit out? get some common sense.
TMac got an elbow stinger, it happens in football a lot. However in football you are not constantly shooting, nor dribbling a ball with the injured arm. I think there are probably a lot of players who would play through it. Whatever the team and Tmac decides is fine with me, it is a long season, if he thinks it is better to rest it for a couple of days, so be it. Gotta be smart, the big prize is not these next two games, but the games in May and June.. DD
