    Clutch, do you think he gets traded or we let him expire?

    They are showing him off in my opinion.

    What no shots of him on defense, or jogging up the court while Scola and Brooks jet by?

    ;)

    Despite all the drama, watching that still put a smile on my face. Its always nice to see a player come back from such an injury.

    Dude cmon. He played fine on defense and its his first game back. Give him some time to catch his wind. I thought he looked great for a guy who is playing his first game following microfracture surgery.

    He did look ok, even jumped high on a rebound that he just missed due to a 2nd bounce on the rim.

    I was just having a laugh.

    I really don't know... I know they really want to trade him, but it's not that simple. It's not easy to trade a $23 million deal, but it won't be from a lack of trying. I would think they have to keep this thing together until we get closer to the deadline to see which teams (if any) are willing to sacrifice talent to clear salaries off their books.

    Aww that was too easy. He actually played some form of strange scrambling defense that is entirely impossible to read much into.

    I'm just disappointed there weren't more clips of him passing.

    I should add it was surprising to see the crowd reaction. To me anyways.

    I agree 100%.

    Morey won't trade T-mac just to trade him. He has to see value coming back.

    Maybe closer to the deadline some teams will offer some talent, but if not expect to see McGrady expire in a Rocket's uniform

    anyone care to do a side by side of his jumper? I think his jumper is going to a be a bit different, which is part of the reason why hee neded so much time to get back, once you change the balance of your muscles like he did it changes your mechanics..

    I have to admit that I was disgusted with his effort last season but when he came on tonight and got a standing ovation (extremely surprising). I had to smile and it almost felt good to have T-mac back!
