First the news: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/5405713.html I have some problems with this. As Feigen said, the MRI was good news. I expected Tracy to maybe miss Friday and Saturday with the extended break, but I guess he wants to miss longer. You better hope he's back to his old self when he returns now. Otherwise, I'd be damned to be fed up with his play. Now to Feigen's commentary on his blog: http://blogs.chron.com/nba/2007/12/mcgrady_ill_probably_be_out_a.html Feigen comments on what I had a problem with earlier in this post.
i dont want to sound like an ass (only tmac, after all, knows how much it really hurts) but when the season is on the brink then tmac needs to frickin suck it up. i love him but he is doing nothing to shed the 'soft' image he has. im so sick of him getting hurt with these minor injuries...every casual fan knows tmac is a bit of a puss, but a week? at this point? come on man. guys play hurt every day. tmac is the anti brett favre. it hurts to read this kind of news every season. oh well. thanks for posting man.
maybe he needs to spend less time at camp chiwawawa or whatever and man up. Anyone still have that link?
he will probably miss 2 games, maybe 3. We can beat Memphis and Toronto without him, but Goldenstate is a sure loss without him(perhaps even w/him ). He SHOULD make it a point to be back for the Celtics game on Jan. 2nd. If we don't have him for the Celts game, it could be quite embarrassing for us. Best case would be a return for the G.State game to get some pt before the celtics game Rest up and let's roll......... Jello, he is just guessing
I think I have to correct you something. from the recent observations, we play tougher without him and we have more chances to win. His absence is a totally good news for us. Just forget about the "Rockets' glass".
it's time for Bonzi and Scola to step up big time and win some for the Gipper ... let's not diss TMac. he's hurt, he needs time to recuperate.
Anyone who thinks the Rockets have a better chance to win without McGrady has clearly been asleep at the wheel.
thanks for the post lol im curious to see how well rafer shoots the ball when his game is raised up two notches
I guess he ll be back when we are opposed against a weak contender? joke a outrageouse joke... Anyway, the sooner we get used to his absence for our 'current team', the better it will be for us to get stronger on the offense. I will be expecting the following games~~~~must be some games worthy to watch. Go Rox.
Tmac should stay at home as long as he likes. Rockets play worse if he only plays half a game as usual.
Real question is, can he step it up? I don't know how many chances can Steve get but here's another one. And we still don't know if he will get any significant minutes to contribute. Now with T-Mac out he should get some time but with Brooks in the lineup, Him or james, even both might not get to play.
He is not the old Steve any more. He has lost his speed, explosiveness, and even his touch. So forget him.
well yao had enough chances. he can't get it done. he needs either tmac or his $20 mil replacement. even yao fans admit that.
So tell me why TMAC wants to quit Orlando Magic when he knew that Hill could not be the old Hill any more? By the way Hill earned even much less than $20Million then.
