    ALL OF THIS IS TALK. THAT'S IT!

    They just don't want to promise something and have to break the promise...so all you get is..."Eh...maybe...maybe not."

    Don't know why but I have exactly the SAME feeling.

    Talking is cheap. We just have to wait 12 more days and we will find out.

    Everything goes. But it would be a waste of work effort with Grover.

    That's great. You have 12 days to go until the MRI. Than give him one more week after that to see how he feels during real practices and he will be fine.

    3 weeks sounds good.

    Yep, until the MRI no one knows nothing. Tmac prbly just feels good about it and is guesstimating.

    As a Coach Rick really doesn't want to talk about it, he wants the focus to be on the guys on the court.

    Right. I belive media are making too much noise out of all that situation. But that is what they like, that's what people want to read.

    I don't understand the ide of the MRI but who cares? If they want it, Tracy has to just do that and prove them that he is allright.

    Remember, Yao thought his foot was alright until further proof. That's why Tmac won't play until that happens, it's too risky for the history he has had.

    Yep, it's the best for all parties of course.

    So anything said now is just talk, like you and me agree. They won't make a decision until that happens, and Adelman is really going to say whatever. That's why people love the term 'coach-speak' it's so true.

    I am afraid Tracy and Rick don't have the best relationship...

    Has this become the chatroom of JayGoogle and Jeff Who?

    Back on topic, meh. It's gotten to a point for me where I just want to see him perform on the court. Just to see where he's at and if he can continue his career. If not, trade him. Sigh, if only it were that easy huh?

    I am glad to see TMAC try to clear this up. Hopefully he's learned his lesson ... talk to the team before you talk to the press!

    This is getting old, but I'm sure this board has a whole lot to do with it.

    Like Para and a few others have stated, lets just get him out there and see what he's got. If nothing, trade him and see what we could get.

    You guys are clearly mis-reading the context. It is clear if you read between the lines.

    "Coming off that surgery, you're not going to have the quickness you had before," Adelman said. "He's done OK. But he has a long way to go."

    Adelman admits, T-Macs days as a rocket are over...

    Gotta love it here...

    A rookie can get his post count up just simply going through ALL the TMac threads.

    Because this is totally the first time he's ever done that.
