[Chron] Mcgrady to make west coast trip

McGrady Makes Trip

 

I hope he plays, we'll need him against Golden State on their own floor.

 

this is dumb, get his strength up and his weight down first.

Lets face it he is fat and outta shape.

 

Fat?

Are you basing this on your own observations?

 

Let's intentionally play to be down by 1 point with 10 seconds left. I bet he's just waiting on the Rockets to need him badly enough.

 

lol. He's in the tunnel in his uni just waiting on the call.

 

maybe the rehab is going so well that the pain is going away faster than expected. it's only a good sign.

but damn, ron not going on the trip? rest up ron.

it's time for yao to step up and show he can beat these bad teams by himself.

 

again, i just want to emphasize: isn't what artest doing the same thing tracy did and tracy got bashed for it?

keith jones said ron can play on his ankle, but he's frustrated that the pain isn't going away. tracy rested b/c of the same reason.

but oh, it's tracy.

rest up ron. we need ya healthy too.

 

sigh what happened to the 3 weeks? i understand the team is badly depleted at the guard position without artest, barry, and him being there but if he needed the 3 weeks to get back then use the 3 weeks. even if the rockets lose both the games i could stomach that a lot better than him coming back, not playing well further setting back his rehab and the rockets continuously playing musical chairs with their lineups.

now if he is good to go and will be back for sure after these two games than thats fine...would rather give stevie a chance to see what he has left for at the very least trade bait before letting tmac play on 1.5 knees

 

i agree. if tracy's knee is pain-free, then sure play. but don't rush back b/c ron is sitting out.

i think he saw what happened v. memphis (and warriors & clips are better than the grizz) and tracy doesn't want the taem to lose 2 in a row. but yes, i hope if he's not ready, don't force it for a few games.

anybody who's injured, REST NOW. get healthy for later.

let yao grow into a man in the next 2 games.

 

Are you talking about Steve Francis or T-Mac? Fat, and out of shape?

 

See I told you guys...Ron and Tracy don't fit, so they are just going to swap places all year.

we are going to get murdered on this road trip....man....

 

1. Tracy has been doing this for many years now
2. Ron CONSISTENTLY plays like a man when he is hurt
3. Lets see how many games Ron will miss when he says 2 games... will it turn out to be 20? No it will be 2!

 

you're funny. are you saying tracy's back wasn't a problem? he got carried out by a stretcher once for god sakes.

are you saying the knee wasn't a problem last yr? the doctors admitted they diagnosed his injury too late.

tell me when tracy's injuries aren't legitimate. you can say he's injury prone, but he doesn't plan these injuries.

 

To be fair Ron is just about as injury prone as Tmac, just look at the number of games he misses every year.

i guess when tmac plays like a woman when he is hurt? both of these guys miss games due to injuries, and both of these guys have played through injuries. im sure you're one of the people that was clamoring for tmac to sit down (as he should) when he was dragging himself through games on one leg. lets just let these guys heal up so they can play healthy. playing hurt might impress insecure boys who derive their machismo from watching athletes play in pain, but i'd rather do what gives us the best chances of winning in the playoffs, and that's get healthy players.

 

Looks like the Bonzi Wells situation ala 2006-2007.

 

I will be mad they are letting him play if he is limping again out there.

I will be sriously pissed , take more time T-Mac and come back fully ready , no need to risk it.
