T-Mac has some rather nice diamond necklaces and earrings ... and he seems to have the tendency of smirking/smiling/laughing at the most inappropriate occasions ...
you know what this board is pathetic ABSOLUTLY PATHETIC Milked the back injury? Pretending to be injured? SURE I think you guys have incredibly short memories. The dude carried us ON HIS BACK INJURY OR NOT to a 52 win season last season. And now your like his milking his injuries intensely. Why didnt he mail it in last year? And yes guys Yao played through a infected toe, look where that got him, half a season of missed basketball. Last year he did everything for us, MVP season. I didn't see any of you telling him he was milking his injuries back then. Nice bandwagon people. Should we all take credit to the Doctor who fixed his back? cause he obviously didn't fix nothing according to half of you. Seriously, think before you post anything.
Totally agree. If he's hurt, then he's hurt. There's absolutely no logic behind faking an injury for him. He tried to play through this injury because he knows our team is sucking and he wants to help us win. But, he's not healthy enough to be very productive now. He needs to get it checked out and should not play if there is a risk of making the injury more serious. We need Tmac to be healthy to have a good season. To get him healthy, he needs to get this injury cleared up now. If we have to lose some (more) games while he's getting back to 100% then that is what has to happen. We absolutely DON'T want an injured Tmac playing for us this year if we can help it.
Van Gundy wouldn't let him mail it in, they were never in jeopardy of being out of the playoffs, Mutombo and Howard stepped up big time when Yao went down. I'm not bashing McGrady...but let's not re-write history to compare two unrelated seasons.
Im not saying that but the bashing this board has had is bordering ridiculous. he faked his back injury ? Van Gundy was there for that too
Not that he faked it, but rather he milked it....big difference.... In other words he didn't exactly rush to get back. DD
After watching the video, his body language suggested he is lying about the injury. No MRI when by his own admission the injury could be worse than everyone thinks it is?
Last night, I watched most of the game (before I had to leave to throw the hell up) at Buffalo Wild Wings. The Spurs were on another screen, the TNT game another. A Spurs fan turned his head toward the Rockets game when he heard Worrell talking about TMac leaving the game, his knee hurts, etc. This guy said, "Uhh-oh, here we go." And I had to agree with him. No matter how bad it is or isn't, after awhile, don't you just get tired of the same old thing? TMac plays like he's waiting for the trade to come through. Since we're going nowhere with him anyway (no, I'm not a YOF), well, cut your losses. BTW, watching Rudy Gay beat San Antonio while watching the Rox stink it up just really was icing on the cake, let me tell you. Need to inject some holiday cheer here: HAPPY HOLIDAYS!(?)
Tmac get's hurt a lot but he also plays through pain a lot also. Earlier in the year he would drive drive drive to the hole and he was productive. I don't understand how some of you guys would question if he's hurt or not. It wasn't long ago when it was only him producing. Quickly how we all forget.
I believe that T-Mac is hurting and he does need a good amount of rest but he should not be in H-Town any longer. The guy needs to start fresh some where else. I wish him the best, no regrets, and thanks for memories but it is time to get whatever the market may bare. In this case is just sell sell sell.
Plus it just seems that T-Mac disassociates himself from his teammates... "They can't make any shots... blah blah blah" Uh... did you forget that you just went 1-10 tonight?
I can understand the mentality. Sometimes, you just don't want to know how bad it is and would rather hope it goes away. I've done it before. Granted, I'm not a professional athlete, but even for just the teams I'm on here, if an injury is obviously bothering me but hasn't shown itself visibly, I don't like getting it checked out in case its really terrible and I'm forced NOT to play for like 6 months or something. I know its stupid, but like I said...I understand.
Yeah....... but when you incorporate how much money T-Mac is making he's got to understand that he isn't the Ford P.O.S. sitting in the garage and that we'll just keep driving with the "Check Engine" light on.
