    Hope everything's gonna be alright for Tracy's shoulder.

    The other Rockets need to step up, shoot the lights out, extend the lead to 20+ some points by half time, and let Tracy rest......

    Can't have Tracy out at this critical stretch of the season.

    Need to rest him sufficiently for the playoff.

    Tmac needs to stop complaining. I mean who doesn't have some pain at this point of the season.

    You need to get off your pathetic high horse. T-Mac clearly suffered some sort of injury to his left shoulder during Monday's game and could be seeing trying to flex the shoulder repeatedly during timeouts. It was bad enough to prevent him from practicing with his teammates. This isn't some run-of-the-mill ache.

    If we cant beat the Twolves w/o Tmac then we don't deserve to be mentioned as "contenders". I mean common, the Wolves suck balls. What better test for our team and supposed role players then to see how they play w/o Mac for a game.

    I didn't even notice when he injured that shoulder but it was in late 4th quater when he ran into a pick (he said it).

    It is 'only' sprained, maybe bruised. I hope we will play tonight and will be pretty effective

    Come on T-Mac

    I think Tmac should play against the wolves but in limited minutes.
    maybe 20 to 30 mins.

    At this point I don't know what to say about Tracy but show up late in games when playoffs come up. ther than that this team needs to be preparing for playoffs through winning now and getting better as a team.

    I'd rather he take his rest and not play again Timberwolves just so he has all the time he needs to recover and not be giving excuses next time he hits the court. We can take timberpups without him

    I have no problem with Mac sitting for a game if it hurts that bad... Luther and Bobby will pick up the slack!!!

    Normal aches and pains of an NBA season, he bumped his shoulder on a screen, I would be shocked if he sat.

    I think he probably gets more grief because he is willing to talk about it, but I don't think any of his issues are all that big.....and he knows how much the team needs him to play.

    Yeah, I noticed sometimes being honest and open as opposed to hiding nagging injuries is the difference between being considered soft and being considered a warrior.

    It's the T-wolves... I think we can handle them with or without tmac. Or at least we should be able to!
