Re: T-Mac vs Rockets - fight!

T-Mac has had the most star crossed career of any superstar i think i've ever seen, it's amazing how horrible his luck has been. T-Mac and Grant Hill should've ran the East together but Hill got nearly crippled and him and Yao should've at the very least made a NBA Finals atleast once.

Re: T-Mac vs Rockets - fight!

Well he's only 30, if he's feeling good like he said in a yahoo article earlier this fall. The Bulls should take him, he's going to be a FA. I doubt if they could get Wade.

Re: T-Mac vs Rockets - fight!

I always find myself saying that....what if T-Mac was still at his Orlando level??? The rankings of top NBA players would definately be more crowded...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Rick Adelman and Tracy McGrady finally came to an agreement.

They had been speaking often enough that when talking about when McGrady would make his season debut, they were sounding alike, even using some of the same phrasing. So when Adelman tossed out the idea of McGrady playing Wednesday against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, McGrady agreed that might not be the best way to begin his comeback from microfracture surgery.

“I told him I could throw him out there against LeBron next Wednesday, see what level he’s at,” Adelman said facetiously. “He didn’t think that was a good idea until he’s completely healthy.”

McGrady said Saturday that he completely understands the team’s plan for him and that comments attributed to him from the Skillzlab Web site were old and out of date and that he no longer has any questions about where he fits in the Rockets’ thinking.

“We had a talk,” McGrady said. “That (the video in which he said he did not know his status) was at a time I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know what my status was. I talked to coach. I know what it is.

“I feel good about the talk we had and where we stand and what he’s trying to do. He’s looking out for me and my best interests as far as getting back on the basketball court. And because we have a young team, we just can’t throw me out there like that. I’m looking forward to getting a few more practices in and seeing what happens.”


No timetable
Adelman said there is no timetable for McGrady’s return, but he said he does not want to bring McGrady back for four games in five nights — a stretch the Rockets begin Dec. 15 — but that when McGrady does come back, it likely will be off the bench.

“We anticipate him playing,” Adelman said. “It’s our 20th game. It’s not like we’re 60 games into it and he hasn’t played. This is the toughest, toughest part of our schedule. It’s a ton of games, and a ton of games on the road. There’s so many questions I want to be sure we have answers. Right now, medically, everything looks good. Now, it’s how does he keep improving?

“We talked. I think the thing that was confusing on his part was leading up to the magical 23rd date (when McGrady had an MRI exam and practiced). It was strictly a medical situation. Until that was done, it wasn’t going to be an issue to me. Maybe I should have talked to him about that, made that more where he could understand that. After that, we’re moving forward.

“I told him, there are a lot of issues here because of last year, in and out of the lineup. When he does come back, how many minutes will he play? It has to be a positive thing for him and us when he does come back. Last year, we could do that. If he comes in and we change everything, this team is much more fragile. In my mind, I have to be sure this is the best thing for him and the best thing for us when we do bring him back.”

Adelman said because he assumed there would be no uncertainty before Nov. 23 that he let the Rockets’ doctors and general manager Daryl Morey keep up with McGrady’s status. McGrady, however, targeted Nov. 18 and was in uniform after the inactive list was completed.


‘A tough situation’
“I told him … maybe I made a mistake because I wasn’t involving me at the time (McGrady was frustrated). We talked last week, and I told him that and I think he felt better with that. It’s a tough situation.

“The more we can play at a decent level and work him back in, the better off we are in the long run. I know it’s going to keep coming up, but it’s what’s best for the whole group, him included.”

Re: T-Mac vs Rockets - fight!

Yeah, I marked out like a little kid when he hit that three. But overall, he is NOT ready to play for THIS Rockets team. He is simply not in shape. However, the knee looks good. It's hard to piece apart what's a result of conditioning, age, rust, and the permanent effects of post-surgery. I'd like to really see what he can do on that knee, but he needs to hit the track 1st.

Re: T-Mac vs Rockets - fight!

Finally. I've held onto T-Mac in my fantasy league for like a month 1/2 waiting for this day. It's sad i have T-Mac, Iverson, and Jermaine O'Neal, if this was like 6 or so years ago i'd be running my league like a king.
