^^^^^^ No one knows when he is going to come back. He'll come back when he comes back. There were reports saying there is no timetable. The best thing for him to do is come back when he is ready. No setbacks at all
Yeah. We get 50 wins in the regular season and bounced from the 1st/2nd round, and then one or both of them gets injured again shortly thereafter. I've seen it 5 times. Sorry, I'm not that pessimistic, but them coming back early is hardly anything to be excited about.
To tell the truth I was one of the most disappointed with Tmac. Now however I reall y am cheering him to return to form again. I wouldnt be against keeping him except we cant have both Yao and Tmac on the same team. One of them has to go because two injury prone players gurantees one of them will always be injured. I know Les Alexander wont get rid of Yao so that leaves Tmac unfortunately even if he ends up being a better player coming back from his injury than Yao ever returns to from his. I would rather keep Tmac if we are going to get Bosh or Amare. He just fits better than Yao would with these running players.
This team can still be a 45-50 win team if McGrady can come back by the first regular season game and ONLY if he is healthy and effective. McGrady seems to play more with the team when Yaos out and he has a good bunch of role players. This season can turn out to be very good, but it can also turn out REALLY bad.
Sorry if its not pre 1997, its sometimes hard not to interpret your posts as a stab at one of the players
