    I hate saying that given how warmups can change things, but I've been told he's playing tonight.

    . . . . .
    Update: Chronicle confirms T-Mac, who <a href="/showthread.php?p=4088315#post4088315">had some words for his critics</a>, will return tonight</a>

    he might as well sit out and come back when hes at full strength, at least the injuries are taking turns instead of happening all at once

    Hell YESSSS. I guess he is READY, not forced to come back. But knowing T-Mac he has to be ready every single time.

    Tracy leave those jumpers, attack the basket. AGainst this team you can do EVERYTHING. Hopefully he will play really well and will be agressive.

    Thanks Clutch. Btw, welcome back. Great to see Yao+T-Mac. Can't wait until Denver game.

    i think t-mac right now is more valuable then artest. Artest get healthy and get your shot back.

    Thanks for the update. Hopefully, he doesn't tweak anything or look too rusty.

    Yeah, if he is really ready to play and feeling better then this is great news.

    If we can have at least two of our three superstars playing together every night then we should be able to win most of our games. Infact, we're so deep now we may just need one superstar playing well to get a top 6 playoff seed.

    But I digress, goooo Tracy!

    i dont think there was any question he would. Looks like they pretty much decided to keep 2 of the big 3 dressed every game is possible. Ron was previously hoping to take his rest after the 3 weeks, but it got worse. So tmac will play while he's out and will probably go back outif Ron returns in two games.

    Let's remind fans thw 3 weeks were not mandatory or part of a "healing" process recommended by doctors. Tmac was just taking the time off on his own, so its not surprising that he's playing after a good practice with no pain.

    Oh, the ever present green eyed monster pops up again. :rolleyes:

    I don't care how much he makes if that's what the market is paying him. Just let the man play like T-Mac, not like Tracy.

    Anybody got an official time on how long a period he actually sat out for? I'm too lazy to check. Also, anyone wanna make a poll where everyone clicks the "I knew he was gonna come back early" option?

    Last game he played was November 24, I believe from then until now, it has been about 19 days since

    source? link?

    j/k ;)


    will be interesting to see how he goes tonight after the long rest. essentially last years team out there tonight with von wafer being a factor off the bench.

    no ron and no barry. should be good if they can establish yao early and often

    Does that he is officially back or is this just a one-game deal?
