T-Mac out 3 weeks (UPDATE: Audio from Rick Adelman)

Dood, you are crazy. Do you know that most sentences in the English language end in a period and not an exclamation point? Plus, you don't have to press shift to type a period. It's quite awesome.

You must be a troll, because some of the stuff you say is a little out there.

 

TMac is one step closer to Shaq now!

TMac is one step closer to Shaq now!

"I got hurt on company time, so I’ll heal on company time."
Remember Shaq had this famous quote?

 

Yeah...but he had surgery during offseason and tried to rehab and come back to be ready to "go to work" on company time.

He's got short term disability, so it's all good.

 

You cannot refute my points. So, you start to check those things!

 

My feeling towards Tracy is mixed. He was a great player, one of the top 5 players in the league. He is the best player on this team and the rox goes as he goes. If he plays well, his impact on the court is unmatchable by any teammates, including Yao. I want to laugh at those Yao fans who constantly whine at Mac and want to ship him out of town. The fact is: with T-Mac on the court, Yao is the one who benefited the most. T-Mac is the best passer of this team. He is the only one who can feed Yao the ball accurately and give him the easy shots using PnR. Just compare Yao's FG% with and without Mac, you will get the picture. I truly admire his basketball skills and he was a true superstar who could consistently carry a team.

On the other hand, it is no doubt he is in a fast declining mode. It is OK because it happens to every player eventually. But he is only 30. Granted he played professional basketball as a high schooler. But look at Kobe and KG. It is obvious that T-Mac lost his desire and passion for the game. He looks like a guy who just wants to collect his paychecks, finish his contract and then retire. That is very disappointing. He can do way better than that.

 

The point is don't ever assume the schedule is easy, alot of people on this board were quoted as saying the Pacers game should be an easy win. Every NBA team has got oodles of talent and can beat you on any given night. And I want T-Mac to get past the 1st round worst than you, but if he does what he's always done, he will get what he has always gotten. He needs to suck it up and just play. Also I don't need the McGrady from the Dallas series, I need the McGrady that exploded up on the fastbreak layup against Kevin Garnett in the Boston game this season.

 

Not true my friend. I just find that some (not all) of what you say is just a little far-fetched and overly emotional, that I really don't feel like trying to have a discussion with you.

 

abc2007,

you have posted 22 times (1 of 6 posts) in this thread, more than a page of posts. Please stop spamming the thread, so that when others come here to find this news for the 1st time, they don't have to wade through your spam.

 

He's right. Stop using "!" at the end of every sentence makes you lose credibility, IMO.

 

You're dumb.

We did that without Yao and Artest and Adelman as well, so what does that mean?

On a different note:

What the **** is wrong with you guys? Just earlier this season you guys said if T-Mac is going to play like he was, he should sit. Then he sat, then you all b****ed about "oh he should tell us and his teammates how long he's sitting and not be day-to-day". OK he told you he's out for 3 weeks and he's going to continue his rehabilitation process. Now you're b****ing about him being soft? Fine, even if he is, that's not going to change anything.

He's picking the easiest part our schedule to sit and he played during the toughest (beginning) when we didn't have Shane and he didn't think he should have played (he admitted to coming back too early). Now his knee is sore. Maybe he is rehabbing it instead of wasting time playing like **** in games. Maybe he isn't. I don't know. All I know is he was out there until we got Shane back, hobbling through an extremely tough schedule. Playing.

Maybe it does take T-Mac longer than the average man to come back from arthroscopic knee surgery. Maybe he's not as tough as Kobe. But you guys should take a look at the ebb and flow of the general comments on this board and realize how freaking bipolar they are.

Choose one and stick with it. If you think he should play, then you can rag. If you thought he should be sitting earlier this season, I don't see why you are complaining. You got your wish...

 

So, Tmac supporters use this way to support him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You can put him in your ignore list though.

 

Haha, I'm with you on most of that man. And yeah, especially about if you don't change nothing, don't expect anything to change deal as well. Maybe/hopefully Artest, Landry, Brooks and gang can change things for him, but we'll see.

As far as the suck it up and play, it really is all speculation from all of us. We said that, and according to him (I know...doesn't make it fact) he tried to play too soon and hurt it worse.

I think the decision was a good one. As you said, either suck it up and play OR sit and rest up. No more day-to-day. It's better for the team, and better for him.

 

Welcome!!!

 

Aren't these the same doctors who couldn't figure out how to fix T-Mac's back problems? We're lucky Charlie Ward recommended that Patterson guy to T-Mac. Hmm.. Can Patterson do something about T-Mac's knee? Just wondering..

 

Are you guys afaid of me?

That's interesting!

 

Trade him! I am tired of this team.

 

Here's link to video of the interview:

Huh? What the hell are you taking about man. You have no idea what you are saying. I am a Houston Rockets supporter so yes I will support T-Mac because he plays for the team I love.

P.S. Put this troll on your ignore list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's not his responsibility, it's the coaches. Yao would have played just as many minutes and practiced just as much, regardless of how many games Tracy played. Yao having to play a couple more minutes a dozen games wouldnt cause a break in his foot. An extra hour of game time over months while tracy is out does not cause a break, regardless of how much you want to blame it on tracy. It would have happened even if Tracy played every game up to that point.

The coaches need to keep Yao's minutes limited to avoid any injuries. Last time I checked, Tracy wasnt coaching...
