    yeah i just heard that too. This might be a thing that never gets better no matter what he does (vince carter style). Well, at least they aren't related. :cool:

    Maybe they projected him to be playing in the Hornets game way back in the preseason talks, but there's no way they expected him to play that game once they got a week or two out and realized he needed more time. For all we know he might have swollen up like a balloon after practice. I'd be thrilled if he's playing games in early December. Best case scenerio: out another 2 weeks.

    If the knee won't get better by just resting it then its best he plays and gets used to the feeling. Sooner or later he'll gain confidence in it and feel like 100%.

    no, they expected him to practice during the road trip and so most likely be ready to play in the hornets game when we return home.

    but yes, i guess his ankle is healing slower than usual. we have a lot of guys who are slow healers i guess.

    I think a scenario where Tmac has to sit out while Artest can still play would help Artest tremendously. He wouldn't have to think about deferring to Yao & Tmac all the time. But it looks like the opposite is more likely to happen (Artest out, Tmac plays).

    While Artest was completely serious, Yao seemed to find the whole issue humorous.

    Good thing it wasn't T-mac that found it humorous or the board would crash. ;)

    Hmmm, well i'm very excited. But maybe Tracy outta have that MRI anyway. Why in the hell would you cancel it? "Great...I feel better, good news, now lets take all necessary precautions to make sure it's not something more serious." That should be his train of thought. I love Tmac and what he brings to the game, but he has to be the most fickle personality I've ever seen. I wonder if he participates in routine mental therapy...he should if he's not already.

    Haha true, I think we all know Yao is a little more in touch with reality than
    Tracy. I love his game, but it's so hard to take anything he says seriously.

    i did care about Steve Francis health before the season started cause i didnt think aaron brook was the answer. But now since i've seen what Wind can do i dont want Francis taking either Skip or Wind's minutes.

    yao and tracy should have an MRI EVERY SINGLE WEEK just to be safe.

    les has enough money, he can afford it.

    i wonder if tmac was this dramatic in his relationships. I know I was, and it never worked out well. :p

    QFT. Truly a drama queen. Shades of Paul Pierce in the finals.
