[ch 2 video] McGrady after Monday practice (11/23)

He has to get into game shape, Adelman probably want to take it slow. He wants to hoop and he's chomping at the bit. Atleast he's not sitting there satisfied getting a paycheck.

 

So what's the timetable?

 

I actually wouldn't mind seeing him come off the bench for a few games, running alongside of Lowry and Budinger. Lowry/Budinger/McGrady/Landry/Andersen is a pretty potent scoring threat, and it would give us a good look into seeing if McGrady can play with this team's pacing/style.

And hey, if it doesn't work, he can always just be relegated to the bench again.

 

This guy is just a straight up punk. I don't care whether it's about money or not.

How many meetings/encounters have they had to get their story straight? And he still can't stick to the requested script.

 

I wonder if there is any footage of him practicing?

 

Thanks for posting this, I enjoyed it. TMac was being a little more candid than usual.

 

I dont like the way Tmac has to curse every 5 seconds. Not Veteran like at all.

 

Dude is agitated and ready to go. Of course he isnt going to be in game shape he hasnt played. Tmac is obviously motivated to play big time rite now, he obviously isnt in this teams future but if you can stay healthy im sure he still has a bit left in the tank.

 

Sometimes people won't believe you care until you start cursing.

 

t-mac is just telling us info we already pretty much know, dumb questions by the reporters so far as im concerned, he is complaining because ppl r making a big deal about him wanting to play. he says he is ready , but he also said that if the coaches dont think he is ready yet than he is fine with that, he will wait.

 

Play him or trade him...Simple as that

 

He swore like...2 times.

 

Requested by who? you?

He doesn't give a **** about someone who is going to criticize him no matter what the damn requested script. So why say something else if he's just going to get blasted.

His job is to play basketball and help this team out. Not satisfy the damn media.

He'll play when it's time. Finito.

 

ya he is a real punk answering and expressing his opinion to what the interviewer asked

 

Yes. My doctor would tell me that I'm healthy enough to play in the NBA too, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

 

How many times is the media going to make a report on something they do. he puts on the uniform, the media goes nuts. He says he is ready to go but the organization says he isnt the media goes nuts, he is waiting to play and the media goes nuts. he is about to practice and the media goes nuts. notice a trend here.

 

He knows he doesn't have much of a choice but to wait out. Feeling ready to play is not necessarily a bad thing. Even if he blows a gasket,DM will have problems trading him. Patience will do him some good. Being able to practice after a sore back is a good sign,but it will take time.

 

@1:13: "I'm this diva"

 

The MRI isn't going to reveal anything eh? According to the doctor that did the surgery.... so does that mean the Rockets docs had nothing to do with his surgery?

The first full practice in like two weeks is not different from any other practice? Something in the milk ain't cream.
