    McGrady will return and look like 04-05 now. Why? Because this team's luck has proven that when one thing is clicking everything else is failing. So far, everything else is failing so it's only natural that McGrady will have a career year wasted because everyone else is injured.

    Didn't Bonzi Wells hurt his hamstring?
    And wasn't he out, for what seemed like, forever?

    And I will say that again. Tracy will have to take his time and do not make the same mistake he did last year but it looks like it is gonna be a big chance for him to lead the team, with all those guys out. But he has to come back 100%.

    But again, the sooner the better. We have no other choice.

    Five-star thread!

    I am only looking forward to McGrady playing at this point. And maybe Aaron Brooks. And how well Adelman might do, even with a handicapped team.

    There there... Let's try to stay with some positive thoughts about the Rockets. Amidst every crisis is an opportunity.

    This is a blessing in disguise since we already have a glut at the 3.

    Brooks
    Mcgrady
    Ariza
    Scola
    Landry/Andersen/Hayes

    or we can go small and run

    Lowry
    Brooks
    Mcgrady
    Ariza
    Scola

    Whoever is flying in on the redeye isn't gonna be a difference maker anyways.

    I'd say Battier has a more likely chance of being ready to start the season than McGrady. It sounds like the absolute soonest we see McGrady on the court is late November/early December.

    I don't see the blessing in disguise.

    This could be a good thing. Give JT and Chase BooDinger a shot...

    I just became a fan of Tracy McGrady on Facebook at approximately 3:55 AM, pacific standard time. He's awesome!

    I think Battier will be fine. We'll know the extent of the damage in a few days.

    Relax, every team goes through injuries. Our team just so happens to have our two super stars injured all of the time; so, when another player happens to get injured we act like the world is falling apart.

    McGrady can't worry about it. He just has to come back to his AllStare level and PLAY.

    This is definitely going to draw the wrath of Battier-lovers, but this could be a blessing in disguise, as we realize how perfectly capable Ariza is of filling Battier's role and more. We'll realize Battier's not as invaluable as a lot of people make him out to be. Of course, it does create depth issues..
