    This is my only concern as well. If that elbow feels pain or akwardness when he goes to follow through on his shot, who knows where the ball is going. But, then again, he usually doesn't follow through as much as one should anyway.

    But, you know his back feels good by how good his free throws look this season as he is using his legs a lot more.

    tmac's shot is usually elevation. like mogrod said, he does not follow through like most shooters. his J is unstoppable b/c he elevates so high. last yr b/c he wasn't in shape or condition, his elevation was not that great so his J was so inconsistent (i vividly remember the phoenix game early in the season where EVERY shot basically hits the front rim).

    i think as long as his back feels good, he's good. that's his only concern.

    If he is having a torn ligament, then please don't play. Losing couple more games right now is much better than not making the playoff.

    Tmac, PLEASE DONT FORCE IT, TAKE A BREAK.

    i think this is excellent news: more minutes for steve, more opportunity to show the world (aka RA) that he belongs on the court. Tmac will be fine, and back when it matters, with a rehabilitated, rejuvenated Franchise.

    If he is playing then it is either healed, or he is pain free with no risk of further energy.

    Man, he has lost a good amount of body fat since last season.

    I just hope this current losing streak isn't affecting his or the Rockets' decision.

    Please read last paragraph of the article.



    As for the "torn ligament," that is not usually the term used for a sprain, but sprains are a stretching of ligaments. Rockets trainer Keith Jones said McGrady has no more than the "micro tears" typical of sprains, rather than a tear.

    This can go both ways, either he bricks a lot of shots or the defend won't know which way he's going to go. :D

    He never telegraphs his passes. No one knows where the ball is going.

    Tmac understand his pain tolerance going to the game. When he says he'll play against Dallas, he knows he'll be fine.

    If he feels fine and the doc says OK he should play but I hope Adelman will not play him too long whenever possible to avoid aggravating his injury. It is also good to setup some plays for TMac to make more passes and reduce any play that can increase his chance of making his injury worse.
