If I was paying T-Mac his salary he'd be on the bench right now waiting for the trade. If I was making $20 million a year I'd be able to afford the best doctors and medical care. By the way, both of the doctors T-Mac consulted about his "injury" found no damage and recommended that T-Mac play himself back into shape.
He's not showing he's worth anything now playing, other than going 2 for 9 and scoring 4 points. Given his current crappy performance it might make more sense to keep him on the bench and claim that he's injured to prevent him from scaring off potential trading partners.
The Mcgrady apologist need to realize he isn't hurt. It's been 8 months since his surgery and 6 months was the max it would take to heal 100%. He was examined in Nov by a famous surgeon and he said he was healed. That was 2 months ago.
I didn't know he quick on the Raptors??? Maybe Nash quick on the Mavs or Brand quick on the Clippers too. Or is maybe about the $$$$$$$ And Orlando did nothing to make that team better.
I feel TMACness everyday, but I have to follow my boss' heart to work, not mine. Also, we now know TMAC got a big heart, which is bigger than the team and his boss.
everyone knows he quit on the raptors because he was jealous of his cousin Vince Carter. Orlando drafted Dwight Howard but Tracy insulted the young center and said he wasn't enough. Funny that the Magic advance past the 1st round after Mcgrady left as well as the Raptors. The Rockets will probably advance once Tracy is gone too.
Article's so full of convenient holes, it is going to get creamed. -->Shane's earned the benefit of the doubt. Like Yao, I never need to question is commitment or effort. With Tracy, it's a constant question. This also the first I've heard anyone suggest Battier didn't rehab properly. -->As mentioned, we've got two starkly different opinions from top doctors regarding McGrady and Shane. Also, even McGrady's dropped the "injury" talk and just admitted that's it's weak. -->For the critics to be wishy washy, they'd need to be changing their tune all the time right? The only ones doing that are the apologists constantly having to come up with new spins and excuses. -->Why turn a complete blind eye to the fact that McGrady's own teammates are taking him to task? -->No one is jumping on him for "being hurt." People are jumping on him for mailing in piss poor efforts and following those no-show games with post game comments complaining about his touches.
It might be, if he didn't ALWAYS take the opposite view from popular perception I would be more likely to believe it is his personal opinion. How many times has he ever agreed with the majority point of view? I just don't like that he only seems to be playing devil's advocate all the time.
Are these Houston Docs? I trust them about as far as I can throw them. THey've all been paid off by some other western conf powerhouse.
That's the only way he gets blog responses and that is important to him. It affects his compensation and job security. 2 columnists have lost their job in the last year. Steve Campbell and John Lopez.
But his knee is not strong and he feels pain limp and can't run. He is heal but not Rehab. NBA is not pick up basketball you need to be on top form to compete or you will look bad outhere. Steve is heal why is he not playing even for the Grizz? Shaun Livingston is heal why is he not playing right now? Imagine Dwight Howard with weak knee, he would be owned by anybody. Remember Amare who was heal but he wasn't rehab and he felt pain on his knee, and he was playing so bad that the Suns decide to bench him because he was hurting the team?
That's what T-Mac claims, that his knee hurts. There are an awful lot of people who look at that claim with some suspicion.
Wait, what? Isn't that what doctors do? They give advice based upon their knowledge and education? LOL - that is uh.....laugh out loud funny. DD
See that's why I don't respect him. If you post what you really feel in your blog and have some sort of talent for it, people will come. If your job is to drive people to your blog, find other ways of doing it than to just fan the flame of controversy or post dissenting opinion so people will argue with you. Then you get to say what you want, have readers, and keep your integrity.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he instructed to rehab before the preseason, didn't DD mention something like this. DD had a timeline....
King Solomon's medical advice would not be very good because he is not a doctor. He was saying that he isn't a doctor so therefore he shouldn't be giving medical advice. Just like many people do now that act like they are qualified to give medical advice. Work on the comprehension a little bit more.
What a bunch of crap. T-Mac asked to be trade way before the draft. And any team can beat the Raptors. Is the east remember? The Jazz would have finish Orlando in 4 games. And No he wasn't jealous of Carter. He wants to be the man and get paid like it. Raptors could offer that. Carter was the man for the Raptors and T-Mac did the right thing for his career but Orland couldn built a team aground him.
