    Going home for thanksgiving. We're playing Dallas and San Antonio the 25th/27th. Should I gamble on t-mac being back by then?

    He is getting his scan the 23rd. If it's all good then will he be inserted into the lineup?

    I highly doubt he'll be in the line up by then.

    He'll have another MRI on 11-23. If cleared to play, I assume he'll start practicing with the team. Get him asserted to the new team style of play.

    I'm guessing the first week of December at the earliest. That's if he does well to mesh in and his health holds up.

    I don't think it would be smart to gamble anything on TMac. Even your hopes.

    With TMac, it's expect the worst, hope for the best.

    The plan is to do the MRI on 23rd as you know. They they will decide. If the team plays well, he will miss more time, if we struggle, he'll be back right after 23rd (that's my opinion).

    he already got an MRI a few weeks back and everything was fine. if the 11/23 MRI shows nothing, he'll participate in the ENTIRE practices this time. and he'll play first week of december, whether we struggle or not.

    Feign denied that. But he will be back in December for sure. It may be earlier, but as Feign, Friedman report he should be back before new year.

    Of course Matt and Bill say it will be earlier.

    I think he'll be back my mid-December. He may be cleared Nov. 23, but I think he'll need a few practices to get into the groove of things again.

    I got tickets for the Rockets @ Cavs on December 27th. I live in Ohio so that is why I picked that game. I figured T-Mac will be back and had a few games under his belt. So maybe we could upset the Cavs.

    i think the announcers confused ppl. i think they gave out info that we already knew. Such as the MRI he did have was fairly recent enough for them to bring up

    I agree with the sentiment that if he is cleared on the 23rd, he'll return to practice with a return date set for mid-December or so.
