    As soon as the docs clear me, I am hitting the floor running baby, I have already been shooting jumpers with my kids......

    Just no cutting yet.....and I need to lose weight, this is NOT helping.

    Yeah. I've never been over there during the day. Only evenings for me so far.

    How long do you need for rehab? I'm willing to give you say 3 months, a.k.a an NBA offseason worth of time to get in shape and heal.

    We're talking charity here, and pride. I'll put my pride on the line to help worthy causes.

    We were 5-1 since he was out , only closely lose to fakes. I hope he starts on bench first, not disturb current chemistry.

    No doubt guys on the floor have to play hard on both ends of the court because if he's starting over Wafer or whom ever and he's not working hard it undermines the teams cohesiveness and work ethic. If Mac is back great I'll support him 100%, but if he's going to half ass it he can just stay on the side lines.

    The team is coming together playing hard together and winning games. We don't need the teams chemistry to take a step backwards right now. The guys on the court and off the bench for the Rockets are leaving everything on the floor and that's beautiful to see.

    When Mac was on the court everyone looked like they were just going through the motions out there. We need him to come back 100% ready to play and play in the system Adelman has the team running.

    I will be looking forward to his first game back, to see the healthy TMac out on the court.

    Nah, pass.....if you want to come on out and play noon time ball, you are more than welcome.

    But my days of playing for cash are long....long....LOOOOONNNGGG gone.....I play for fun now.

    At 5'9" tall, I am not great as a one on one player, but as a PG in the team game I am much more effective.

    BTW there is a MASSIVE difference between 34 and 44....at 34....I was much quicker and thinner than at 44.

    :D

    Nah, if I am good to go, I am good to go....no holding back, pain is my ally.....quitting my enemy.

    LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THIS CHARACTER AND GAMES....look i love tmac, he is an awesome basketball player, hands down sickest moves in the nba standing there with the best. BUT!!!!! his head is what i am not to impressed with. i can see right thru his eyes. tracy is putting this whole act aside now, wanna get ready to be in the all-star game, is seeing wafer play like a TRUE starter and i honestly think the guy is jealous. and you know what, maybe i should be happy that he has that jealousy in him to go out and be better, but does it have to come to playing games? because i honestly think tracy has been playing his own games here.................

    You should let him know that. Something like this:

    Dear T-mac,

    I am happy you have worked hard the last 10 days...finally. Really thought you should have been traded and that you were a really cancer. Would have traded you for Tayshaun Prince and a back-up pg. So I guess I'm one of your worst critics. Anyway, I hope you will get back on the court and not be lackadasical.

    But no matter what, I also have to let you know nothing you do will excuse you for your effort the first half of the season and not getting into shape back in September.

    Yours truly,
    DaDakota

    Not bad...not bad at all.....

    Truthfully, I think the organization sat him down, he looked at what he was doing or rather not doing on the court and sees the team moving on without him and he was like "WOAH".....and decided to get serious.

    Well, here is to hoping he comes back strong.....I will cheer for him as long as he is a Rocket.....but if they trade him, that is ok with me too.

    Charity is fun. I realize that in this economy and tough times, maybe we should drop the amount down a bit. $50? We can write checks to my charity (oops I mean the winner's charity) together after the game.

    I'm only 6'0" almost 200 lbs. now, so it seems that with your superior mental understanding of the intangibles of the game, I'm probably the underdog. Especially, if I spot you 10 points in a game to 22 (Rockets win streak).

    My forty-something friends always smoke me in golf...

    All this talk about 40 yard dash times for a guy who routinely walks during fast breaks

    Oh the irony

    Show me the speed TMac!

    its good to know hes back, but does that mean we will revert back to iso plays with tmac when hes on the court? our ball movement is fluid right now and thats why we're winning games. i dont wanna start seeing tmac taking ill advised shots.
