    Yeah, I don't understand it either. I always root for whomever wears a rockets uni and don't care who helps the team win. To actually think people are that jealous of any human is almost non believable.

    This is terrible news! Why cannot we finish out a season with our top 2 guys healthy, WHY?!?! Are we certain he needs the micro fracture knee surgery? I think T-Mac deserves an apology from all the fans who doubted him and called him the despicable name, shemac.

    Get well soon T-mac.

    True, but what about all that "you have to play on it to strengthen it" talk they were telling him? Tracy played on it but it obviously didn't make it any better.

    All im saying is that unfortunately for the McGrady years all I have felt is high hopes in the beginning and a constant letdown at the end. Yeah, thats not all his fault, but he was the "man" and with being the man you take the responsibility of what happens with your team. In the end we are a better team at this point without him and thats the first time i have thought that in the last 4 years.

    -sigh- at least a decision was made, now we can get back to a consistent line up. Now hopefully the drama is over and there are no further distractions. Get well Mcgrady, Go Rockets.

    We are never thinking Tmac is faking an injury. Why there are so many fans full of hatred is cuz he was behaving like a drama King. He should make his decision earlier and stick to it

    I'm not sure I got this right.. Isn't the Rockets the one who initially offered T Mac for Carter to begin with, but after the Nets made a counter offer, Les tried not to offend T-Mac by saying he's not trading his superstar? If my guess is correct Tracy probably figured out he was being offered for his cousin so he decided to shut it down for the rest of the season just because. Any thoughts?

    I bet I've seen this before.

    "The forward told ESPN.com's Stephen A. Smith on Tuesday that his troublesome left knee will end his season and that he will undergo microfracture surgery."

    I would wait for words from the Rockets.

    Does anyone find it weird that the rockets aren't announcing it themselves but McGrady is running off to Stephen A. Smith to break the news?

    Didn't Smith also claim McGrady had told him he wanted a trade to the Pistons?

    Sadly those 6 threads are more then the amount of points T-Mac scored in his last game (3 pts)

    Atleast, we can all move on.

    This has probably been asked already but do we qualify for the Disabled Player Exception?

    it's also weird when the news came out, how did Les not know about this prior to his press conference?

    This is a shame that McGrady is out. He is our most talented player. People don't give him enough respect. Do yall think he wants to be injured? I'm sure he's as pissed as anyone that he has to be out for the season. He wants to get past the first round so everyone will stop saying he has done nothing. McGrady can score, pass and rebound. When playoff time comes and if we can't score everyones gonna be wishing Tracy never went down

    This appears to be for the best. Tracy McGrady has been reduced to little more than a sideshow.

    Sure we have all felt the high hopes, this year moreso then ever. I just think that had Tmac been in the shape he was without the injury, this team would have come around, Why? Because he started to buy into the Adlemen system last year and we all saw the results of that. We can only dream about that if this news is indeed true. Another sad day as a Rocket fan :confused: :eek: :rolleyes: :p
