    It would even be better had it been a knee instead of a foot.

    The quote doesn't sound like T-Mac's ready at all:

    ”Today's MRI showed no change from the test previously conducted in September. Tracy is on a normal course of recovery and has the expected level of performance for someone at his stage following microfracture surgery. We will continue to monitor his progress over the coming weeks to ensure that pain and swelling are kept to a minimum after further periods of practice participation."

    Then T-Mac says on the espn website that the MRI is "irrelevant." WTF is that? Last time they misread the tests he ended up shutting it down for nine months and counting.

    What damage did the MRI show? Notice how they don't report that. They say there's no change from September, and yet it indicates he's on a "normal course of recovery". Really? Evidently, there's nothing actually wrong with the knee as per the MRI. Because if there was, and MRI showed no improvement after 3 months, clearly that should not be considered a normal course of recovery.

    It's referring to keeping the "pain and swelling to a minimum", which implies the knee still isn't ready. But then they say he's on a normal course of recovery and there's no change in what the MRI shows since last September.

    All of that doesn't seem to add up. If the MRI is actually relevant (instead of "irrelevant", as McGrady put it) and McGrady's knee is still not 100%, then it would show what is wrong with the knee. And if it does show something wrong with the knee, then there being no change since last September can not be deemed a normal course of recovery.

    Exactly! So now I'm confused on what's going on. Is his knee healthy or are they just going to continue to hide something from us?

    Who is this McGrady anyway? How many rings has he won, and how many first round playoff series has he won to deserve all this attention? Jeez, the way this bbs is abuzz one would think that it is Jordan or the likes of him that everyone is talking about. Folks we are talking about McGrady here and not someone with any championship credentials.

    The point is that the organization officially stated that McGrady is not going to play anytime soon, so end it there! Team Rockets is giving their heart and soul every game and they deserve our attention and support more than this diva and loser. Man, they can't get rid of this cancer soon enough.

    I really don't know. But if an MRI shows no change after 3 months, to me that means one of 3 things:

    (1) The MRI doesn't mean squat
    (2) The knee is healthy, and was healthy back in September
    (3) The knee is not recovering as it should.

    Wouldn't it most likely be option 1 and 2? We've seen in the Grover videos and it seems like he hasn't had any pain in his knee.

    *sigh* This tells us absolutely NOTHING. Before it seemed like November 23 was the all-important date. Now, it just came and passed with nothing. :mad:

    now i understand Solomon's "You really think there will be something on the MRI he'll take Monday that would be different than what would be on the MRI had he taken it earlier?"
