Wrong again DD!! He was given the option of a SCOPE or MICROFRACTURE last year. They ,the doctors and McGrady, took the path easier traveled, which was the scope. I'm sure he couldn't rehab like he normally would due to the surgery, when he tried to come back the knee did not respond. So now they are trying the microfacture surgery, which they probably should have done before. Make a hell of alot of sense to me. (Do you think he hurt his knee last year when Yao went down and everybody rushed him back, because we did not have anybody to rely on?)
Didn't you hear? Tracy's knee is entirely made up... its all mental. He only got the surgery because he is a malicious failure of a person who wanted to watch his team suffer. ..evidence? What evidence? Its what the ClutchFans mob has decided!
Not the best news: I want the TMac/Yao era to end, period. Tried that, been there, over. Let's move on. I can't even imagine Tracy McGrady being in a Rockets uniform again. I don't think that will happen, and I will be very disappointed if it does. First, given his history, his NBA career is likely over. If it isn't his contract ends next season. Send him elsewhere.
then i guess you would not want a lebron james or dwayne wade type player b/c their usage ratings are OFF THE ROOF. EVERYTHING goes through them.
Lebron and Wade are unique in their skill levels, TMac is not at their level.....especially Lebron's..... I think that was one of the main problems with JVG, he thought Tmac was there, and he was wrong. DD
Tmac was definetily at their skill level, even last year he was. where he was lacking was athleticism after the 04-05 season. His durability also suffered. People wrote off Dwayne Wade after last season, and he maybe having the best individual season this year. Tmac can hit tough shots like those guys do, he can pass as good or better than those guys, he can get to the foul line, he can finish at the rim over people, and he was an explosive scorer who could carry a team to victory on any given night. That sounds a lot like Lebron and Dwade to me. After the 05 season, he wasn't as good at those things as they were, but he wasn't far behind. He was still putting up 25 ppg, 6-7 rpg, and 6-7 apg, and in the playoffs, he was putting up even better #'s. Can't say he wasn't on their level, even after the injuries and some lost athleticism.
Have you guys read that? Is that true? http://www.sportsonastick.com/index...deo-game-&catid=50:nba-player-news&Itemid=112
Wow. This has got to be a joke. If EA made a game just off of one guy being hurt then McGrady is truly the man.
We are not even going to come close to agreeing on that one. Even his best year here he was only a 43% shooter and 42% for his Houston career Over his whole career he is only a 43.6% FG shooter Meanwhile DWade is a career 48% shooter And Lebron is a career 47% FG shooter Both of them are SIGNIFIGANTLY better than Tmac in efficiency. I think a lot of people get caught up in the TMac hype etc, all I care about is efficiency.....I don't care if you can dunk, just be efficient. TMac has never been on that level....but some people think he was...or could be...that is one of the main problems..... Reality is not what the perception is in this case. In Houston he has been a low efficiency volume scorer.....replacing him with Ron makes the team better....better defense and about the same on offense, with a bit more team play....The Rockets are better without him. DD
Yeah, you're talking about stats in the last half of Tracy's career when he's been plagued by injuries. In addition, Wade and Lebron have played half the number of years that Tracy has played (6th full season). In McGrady's first six years, his FG% is right at 45%, and before you say that's not good, consider Kobe's career FG% is 45.4, and I'd love to hear you say that his offense game has dropped off.
who cares? Wade and LeBron have both taken their teams to the NBA Finals with Wade winning a championship. Its not about stats, it's about glory.
Well, the previous emails concern T-Mac's individual talent, so I figured it was only appropriate to address that issue, as opposed to linking to the 45 other threads in the forum that point out that T-Mac hasn't gotten past the first round.
I honestly don't understand how many on this board could view T-Mac attending a team shootaround as a bad thing. Stop drinking the Haterade! It's great that he'd want to be around his teammates, wishing them well and supporting them as they prepare for the playoff.
When you talk about winning - of course. T-Mac is pretty much a looser. Maybe he will have a chance next year. MAYBE. But when we talk about individual stats, he sure was as good as LeBron or DWade.
