guys we keep making a big deal out of nothing, tracy stayed home tonight cause his back was a little sore. lets forget about all the drama from last season, the main gist is that t-mac is eager to play but the rockets want to remain cautious because he's coming back from micro-fracture surgery which is big. lets stop making a mountain out of a mole hill
WHen you listen to Morey he really wants Tracy back. I am sure Les wants it as well because he is in love with T-Mac. But Adelman? He just DOESN'T WANT him back. That's it. Solution? Trade him to NY
The ones who seemingly are making a big deal out of all this is Tracy and his people. You think for one minute the orginization is leaking info? No way. That only leaves you know who. Why Tracy can't keep his mouth shut and just wait for the MRI and a full practice is beyond me. The Rockets have said all the right things even though Mac continues to pull the same BS he did last year. The Scheduled date all along was Nov.23rd, mac was fine with that at first, why not now? I'm starting to believe it's much more than just wanting to play. Why would Mac want to risk coming back early? Why not be patient? He was just days away from the MRI before all this mess came out. I was starting to come around knowing we could use a healthy T-Mac to give us that closer we desperately need. Now I am so sick of his tired ass I'm more than ready to ship him out. Good riddance hopefully the Rockets are done babysitting him
As much as I want him back, I am becoming more and more annoyed by all of this. I no longer care whose fault it is. To be honest, I don't know how he can even sit with the team now. His presence will be a distraction whether people say it or not until he finally plays and/or is traded and that is a darn shame. I don't see a win-win scenario for this situation.
Wasn't it alleged that not all the games that he had missed in the past due to a sore back were to do with any health issue?
Just before the team has some significant time to run some full practices and re-evaluate his situation? That must be "too" coincidence, mustn't it?
Full practice is on 23/11. I doubt he'll miss that given how much he wants to play. Probably just taking a day off, in typical T-Mac style.
Curtain drops down on him,and drama is over. Let the facts do the speaking,just wait and see what the outcome will be after MRI on Monday. Practice right now seems more like an excuse to sideline him for so-called precautions.
i wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play at all this year and les got the 23 million payed by insurance, they probably think that we'd be better off letting the younger guys play and get better than mac's perimeter volume shooting, and i agree.
Sore back????? That must be someone's idea of a sick joke. If I were T-Mac, I'd say anything but "sore back." It's almost like a threat or something. Too sore to make it to the stadium? Tru Warier Not. Sounds like Adelman was making fun of the uniform incident a little bit:
I dont get this...........even if he has a sore back does that prevent him from sitting on the bench and just watching ? haha
Yeah, it actually does. You know how bad could sitting there be? Standing bent might make it worse, so maybe he just decided to stay in bed to make sure he'll be okay for the MRI. I wish him good luck on that MRI...hope we get a chance to see T-Mac in a rockets uniform again...
You would think that they want him to be able to go the full season like the rest of the guys on the team ie.(full practices, 30+ minutes in games and back to back without any complications). The rockets are playing it smart and Tracy just wants to hoop. Microfractive surgery is not an easy thing to come back from and if you held a gun to my head I would bet Adelman wants Tracy back, but only when he's 100%. What coach wouldn't want their best player back, he just doesn't want a repeat of last year.
