Can we trade you for another poster that will actually stick to the topic of the thread? How about just a bag of peanuts? Would anyone even bother to take you off our board for free? Anyways, regarding the topic of the thread, this is the most reasonable and detailed explanation regarding T-Mac. To be honest, it makes it interesting to see if he can come back and be effective on the court. After tonight's game we could certainly use Tracy back.
Finally something thats relavent....great post OP, loved to hear what the doctor and Kieth actually have to say about it rather than the media...
great video, has some really good information. i guess the only question now is the relationship btween mac and the organization as opposed to if he can play and produce on the court.
If there truly is a rift between Tracy and management, I don't understand why Elston Turner said Tracy has "a good attitude" about the situation when he was interviewed after Monday's practice. Either that is a blatant lie or all the perceived drama is just blown out of proportion.
I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to view this video. I'm grateful personally, to the OP for posting it. I've always held Tracy McGrady (and Yao Ming) in a very high regard as Houston Rockets, despite their lack of postseason success. Both of them, for the balance of their time here, have been exceptional players, and have done little, if anything, to have earned some of the venom that's been spewed about the both of them here from time to time. I understand fans being fans, but the criticism and vilification of both Yao and McGrady has, more often than not, been way off base, if not completely uninformed and even highly divisive, biased and mean-spirited. Dr. Clanton and team trainer Keith Jones have nothing (even marginally) to gain by being anything but forthright about McGrady's injury. Neither one of them could be blamed for the injury history of either McGrady or Yao (as I've done from time to time myself, foolishly)..... ...but for both of them to feel the need to clarify McGrady's situation to anyone outside of the team proper, speaks not only positive volumes about the Rockets organization, but of McGrady himself. I would hope that anyone unbiased enough to review this interview (and anyone truly concerned with the team's and McGrady's handling of his injury and subsequent return to the court, here or somewhere else), would try to reevaluate what we think we know.... ....and try to compare it with what is actually happening, as told by those with the closest knowledge of the particulars. It's not fun. It won't fill up the GARM or stir up angst or get anybody any rep points, but it would be an attempt at professing something a bit closer to the truth for a change.....
