    Hey - I get what you are saying. I do think T-mac humbling himself and adopting to Adelman's system, while not a sure thing, isn't out of the realm of possibility either. He's capable of it. It's all a matter of whether or not he can swallow his pride.

    It's possible. And 30% of people think so.

    I don't think anyone thinking he could be traded for L-bro or R-bio is possible.

    I understand that hope is a powerful drug, I deal in reality.

    You are so happy today, aren't you? I know it. I couldn't offend you today if I tried. Wow.

    Chase is going to be good, but not as quickly as you think. The kids got a lot to learn. But I do like him.

    And I do think we'll miss t-mac's services in many situations - namely 4th qtr pressure situations.

    There's a reason why Rick Adelman has never won a ring with outstanding talent at Portland and Sac-town.

    Especially Sac-town. Lost too many close games to be a coincidence.

    Actually I just want an end to all of this, I clearly have no issue with being wrong...if the team decided to play him I would cheer for him.

    I am happy the organization is doing what I believe is right for the organization moving forward yes.

    But, I am not happy for the reasons you probably think I am.

    I actually want this over so the GARM can get some comraderie going, I am tired of arguing.

    I know you are tired of arguing. I think we all are. But this may not end soon.

    It's really hard to figure things out. I suspect now that Adelman just doesn't want to get burned again like he did last year or like he did with Chris Webber.

    Maybe coach is wise and realizes that an early t-mac return would be disasterous. Maybe T-mac isn't close. They say athletes always misjudge how quick they can return from microfracture surgery. Maybe t-mac isn't ready and it's obvious to adelman.

    RA has seen T-mac at his best, at his worst. And he has seen Chris Webber in the same situation. Maybe RA knows what he is doing. Maybe it's nothing more than T-mac not really being ready.

    I don't. I am not sold on Adelman's offense. But he is a good coach. So I rescind that. I take it back. Adelman just got unlucky going up against the bulls and with a few calls against the Lakers.

    Yeah, but he is not coming back to his old form......at least not this year....and he will be somewhere else if he ever does, so I don't believe he helps much at all.

    I agree with what Adelman said before the season. My hope is that McGrady comes back and plays like he used to 2+ years ago when he was healthy.
