I never see Tmac on the bench when he's injured, ever. I saw him at the Orlando game but he lives in Orlando so he had no excuses not to be there. Is there a legitimate reason he doesnt travel with the team?
it's possible that traveling might not be best for his knee. staying home (orlando) and resting/rehab is what's best. of course, that's just my guess as to why he doesn't travel.
although feigen just mentioned that he's usually getting treatment during games. maybe it's just me, but if we're talking about the best of the best doctors with an NBA franchise's money, i'd think there would be a way he could somehow get rahab earlier than during the game so he could be ready to go to sit with his tema on the bench.
More likely those doctors are seeing "regular," patients during the day, and then making extra $$ with the Rockets after hours.
I thought this was a tmac should come off the bench thread. maybe that could be a good idea to rejuvinate the second unit.
There is no reason he shouldn't be with the team. Unless he's on crutches or bedridden. That's why he is not a team leader.
