    Tracy McGrady is eager to play. The Houston Rockets say he'll have to wait.


    The seven-time All-Star had microfracture surgery on his left knee in February, but insisted that he's fully recovered before Friday night's game against the streaking Atlanta Hawks.

    "Right now, I could play," he said.

    Not so fast. The Rockets believe McGrady needs more time and would risk hurting his knee again if he comes back too soon. The next step is an MRI on Monday.

    "We have a difference of opinion," coach Rick Adelman said. "He wants to play. He's not ready to play. It's as simple as that."

    Both sides denied a Yahoo! Sports report that the situation degenerated into a heated argument before the Rockets' previous game at Minnesota. The report quoted a person close to McGrady who was not identified.

    "I don't know where that came from," McGrady said. "We talked but it was nothing that was reported like that. I mean, screaming and all."

    Adelman shrugged off the report as "our world of the Internet."

    "It seems like nowadays people want to dwell on one particular thing that may be newsworthy," he said. "Or maybe catch your eye when you look at it."

    Whether the argument actually happened, it's clear that McGrady considers himself much further along in his recovery than the team's timetable.

    "I don't know," he said. "It's all about what they want to do."

    Kids on here bash Mcgrady because why? He wants to play. People that hate on him for wanting to play need to grow up and stop whining. People must be blind and ok with the fact Aaron Brooks and Trevor Ariza are our go to guys down the stretch. Well guess what, they screwed up AGAIN! You want to find someone to hate on for us not making it past the first round. Hate on Yao for playing below par against Dallas and Utah. Heck, he didnt even play that great against Portland except for the first game.

    I bet he wishes he didn't just opt for the surgery and leave the staff to read about it on espn.

    You. Don't. Do. That.

    He needed the surgery, why does it matter? Its obvious he wanted to do the thing that got him back to the way he was. Some people are too dramatic for their own good.
