Update from Tracy Hi all, As some of you may have read, I’m going to shut it down for 2 weeks to try and give my knee more rest. We’ve tried playing through the pain and playing part-time, and this is the next option in trying to get me back to 100%. The training staff, Coach Adelman, and I have all put our heads together and think that this is the best option. I’ll be out of the lineup for 2 weeks, but will be doing a number of strengthening workouts during that time. Because I had the surgery in May, I wasn’t able to begin my off-season strength and conditioning routine that I do every year on time. I’ve never felt 100% out there this year, and I think not being able to go through that routine was a reason why. Getting this time to focus on strengthening, and getting a break from the wear the knee takes during the course of the season will hopefully get me back on track. I’m determined to get back and go full throttle when I get out there. I know it’s frustrating for Rockets fans to see me out of the lineup but believe me, it’s no fun on the sidelines. My teammates have been very supportive though, and just want to see me healthy when I get back on the court with them. We’re in the 6 spot out West now and I have all the faith in the world in these guys to carry us while I’m out. For now we are relying on Yao and the rest of the guys to get it done without me. The game plan is to rejoin the team when the knee is back at full strength so we can challenge for home court in the playoffs and make a deep run for the title. I also wanted to say thanks to all my fans out there for their continuous support. This year has been incredibly frustrating for me, and knowing that I have the backing and support of my fans worldwide makes me that much more determined to come back better than ever. -Tracy
Your mom wrote that herself. Haha, forgot the link. http://t-mac.com/tmac/blogDetail/1404 Have at it you jackals.
thanks for the link durvasa sounds good but it also sounds like a bunch of BS PR spin stuff. at this point i will only believe it when i see it out on the court with him. and if the above stuff turns out true then this team is talented enough to contend for the title
I don't think he has as much support as he seems to think. I trust he will come back healthy, though, so I'll continue to support.
The radio guys were going off on him today because he didn't talk to the media or have a press conference. Now, he says something, and people will go off on him. The guy is in a no-loose situation no matter what he does...
I'd imagine this is very frustrating for him but I think we all know his knee is never going to be 100%. The moment he thinks that 100% plateau is reached and comes back but has a string of a couple bad games we all know where this leads. Again, the silver lining in all this is magically his injuries seem to go away or become a non-issue once the playoffs roll around. The critics can have their fun pointing out how he's never advanced in the postseason but his saving grace is that he always goes out swinging. Let's hope that doesn't change.
Funny how most of you wished he'd stop playing until he was able to play more then just 1 game of back to backs then you whine like females pmsing when he does.
I hope he's keeping his promise this time and come back to play hard at full strengh. It's the only way to repay his club, his contract, his teammates, and his fans.
