    Well, of course...
    You expect me to like bad players?
    And for me to hate good players?
    Sportsmanship and character doesn't get you wins. Talent does.

    I went back in the thread and looked at some of the pics. Has McGrady slimmed down some?

    I think the idea of this video is to show he's progressing. I don't think we were supposed to get all WOW over this. Even when he's healthy enough, he'll still be the same lazy Tmac, and that nagging worry in his mind will remain: Will my knee hold up? Is anyone going to pay me in 2010? Maybe I should look like I care, at least enough to get paid?

    He almost jammed that alley-oop over two guys, it's awesome to see him getting back into shape.

    Also an Antoine Walker sighting.

    Great video!!!

    It's amazing what guys can do in a contract year. Sell high, Mr. Morey, sell high.

    If he is playin' on it now, don't you think setting a return date 5 months from now is a little extreme?

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!





    I like to see the way he was cutting and actually driving past his man. I think he will def be ready by season start, though they will prob hold him out for awhile just to make sure he is 100 percent...remember, he had microfracture surgery on a non load bearing part of his knee...so its not as major as say amare's micro surgery..cant wait for the season...GO ROCKETS!!!

    It already looks like he's getting more lift on his jumpshot than he had last season. Good luck Tracy

    you cant really say much from this video other than he has recovered well. im sure he wont show his true ability in some pick up game. hope he comes back as soon as possible though.

    btw i really felt bad for the chinese guy, all he did was run up and down and set picks for people who wouldnt pass to him lol

    Nice find, thanks for posting.

    It's good to see him out there moving around and looking comfortable. If this keeps up you can expect him to be a huge part of this team in the coming year. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the plan was to hang onto him and let his contract expire before trying to re-up him to a smaller deal.

    The important thing for everybody here is to keep an open mind. Let's keep the past in the past.

    t-mac is still holding onto the ball way too long. hope he doesnt take this season as getting his numbers while the rest of the team suffers.

    looking foward to seeing ariza and battier start.

    did one of those guys look like mike james to anyone? i did notice luther head but i wasn't sure if one of the pg's was mike james ...

    but back to the topic ... Tmac looked fairly okay. For me, to see him run up and down a little bit was encouraging ... He's obviously not in all star form or anything yet but he's making progress. We weren't really expecting to see him dominate right off of rehab were we?
