    Yea, that sucked. The Pacers were controlling most of the game then couldn't finish strong.

    Maybe they really do have legitimate closing issues. They should be tired tomorrow. Hopefully, we take it to them.

    i think mentally right now, he just doesn't feel confident out there. he's frustrated, unhappy with his play. and it all points to his lack of confidence in his health. if he wants to rest to regain thatconfidence, let him be.

    dont worry at all fellas. this wont be the first time we do this and i hope most of you know the teams done this before, sitting out a player vs a lower tier game. some good benefits

    -since at full strength houston would crush a weak opponent, playing vs them handicapped gives the game competitiveness, and for us fans we wont be bored watched a 20 pt blowout. we'll see our players playing hard.

    corse the other team never likes that and will beat you if you dont play right. our teams too good tho so...were gonna get a prethxgiving treat.

    ron on granger in the last mins of the 4th (if granger didnt foul out)
    yao ming takes over the quarter
    tj fords entertaing too.

    its all for entertainment folks

    I appreciate that. Tracy Mcgreedy wasted millions of shots in the past games but he was still unsatisfied (as his name tells us, he's McGreedy), now I'm glad to say that the black hole will be absent for a while, at least for a while.

    McGrady's situation is honestly confusing.

    McGrady complained about pains, which the Doctors thought were nothing. But the doctors were wrong. Now Mcgrady is stuck between playing and resting.

    Aren't there any article or specific details on McGrady's condition? Does he need rest, or does he need confidence? Having McGrady like this throughout this whole season is a no-no. McGrady needs to get an answer now, he needs to know his exact condition and how the healing process will work.

    Then again, I hope we have some miracle doctor for the knee.

    Wel lyeah, chron didn't mention anything so they don't know anything yet. I belive 610, but it looks like it is really game time decision.

    But if he is playing he needs to play biggers rolein the offense.I don't wanna have him standing on the perimeter shooting 3s. He needs to post up, go to the basket.Just play your game and make the knee stronger.

    What? Everybody was happy with those 6points after heat game. They said he was just playing withing the offense, only takig open 3s.

    It is not like he was 3/15. He wasn't agressive at ALL, he wasn't looking to score the ball.

    As for Yao,i f not McGrady I doubt he would have scored 20 against Heat.

    Random thought:

    Maybe Tracy isnt actually hurting, and it's all a plan by him and RA. In the playoffs, the other teams will think he's hurt and wont be as dominate so they dont defend him as well as they should, but he is actually better than 100% and will average 35ppg in the playoffs.

    That would be nice... :rolleyes:

    It sounds like a situation where management and Tracy do not agree.

    Tmac - " I want to sit"

    Management - "That won't help, you need to work your knee"

    An impasse.

    There is a disconnect between both of them.

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the article about Wade. I think it basically said Wade never got through his off season surguries and struggled all year, playing 51 games. But after finally resting, he was back at 100 % during the Olympics. I wonder if TMAC and Wade talked about it, and TMAC decided maybe not pushing it right now....

    Or, he played hard all last year, strengthened his knee, and then reached full health in the summer......where he worked hard at the Olympic training camp and Olympics.

    D-Wade also had much more invasive surgery than Tmac has had.

    Yeah D-Wade had some issues for a while. He plays really hard and drives to the basket really hard.
