McGrady could be out for season

T-Mac for Amare!!!


Aaron Nelson and the best training staff on Earf would get T-Mac healthy.

Rockets have been in contacts with both Pablo Prigioni and Vassilis Spanoulis in recent days about coming to them to play point guard. But both players even though they have NBA opt outs is in middle of Euroleague top 16 and plays on teams with chance to win Euroleague championship this year. And by time they might be eliminate would already be past deadline to add NBA players for playoff rounds.

Rockets GM has even ask about Dimitris Diamantidis but he have no interest in coming to NBA.

But your GM is looking at point guards from Europe.

As much as I can't stand him, I have to admit: This is really bad. IMO, the injury in addition with his current liability (psychological) makes it tough to return to compe ion. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I had the feeling that he was beside himself all season long. Moreover, probably not due to his knee; maybe there are other issues bothering him right now.

[DPG21920]

So does this mean Von Wafer is back in the line up?

You rang?

First of all T-Mac's condition is reprehensible. The medical staff should have figured out this long ago. They should all be fired. The Rockets are located in one of the finest Medical Communities in the world. The MD Anderson Medical Center. Get a clue Rockets. Fire every single one of these charletons.

Prignoni will not save the Rockets because what they need is offensive firepower lacking T-Mac. Spanoulis forget about it. He's not coming back. Prignoni is an exceptional passer but a bit slow as an athlete. I don't think he'd be an upgrade over Alston. Maybe I"m wrong but I'll trust Morey on that one.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

A couple Euro s won't save the Rockets.

actually either of those players would help Rockets and so would Diamantidis. Any of those players is better than any point guard on their roster except Prigioni is slowing down and getting old and probably Brooks would be better then him shortly. But for just this year I would think he is better than Brooks and Alston.


Diamantidis or Spanoulis is far better than any point guard Rockets have even though Diamantidis is much more suitable for European style game than NBA game.

Blessing in disguise

You are now officially the biggest at spurstalk.com..
congratulations..

[hhml]

I have to agree with Ghazi. It would be a blessing in disguise. With T-mac out, Von will get more playing time. He's look good whenever I watch him play. And yeah, it would be ironic if Rockets get out of first round this year w/o Tmac. I do feel bad for him though.

[Indazone]

Francis might be ready to contribute right about now. He's nearly at 10 months since his surgery. Why not sign him to a 10 day and give him some burn.

Not to be callous, but if Yao and Artest stay healthy, Von Wafer gets more minutes, and they have a consistent starting line-up, won't the Rockets be better off than having to deal with T-Mac's health issues on a game to game basis? I wouldn't call it a "blessing in disguise" as much as it's pretty obvious at this juncture. And that's no knock on T-Mac - it's just that inconsistency in terms of the line-up and effort on the court is killing this team, and it starts with him.

Why do he never play anymore?

[lil_penny]

A couple Euro s won't save the Rockets.

Ahahaaahhaa

[InK]

Few people here like T-Mac, but this is terrible.

[InK]

Why do he never play anymore?

Mybe not the best time to hore around your Greeks dude.

[sribb43]

to be fair to the Rockets, T-Mac did go see Dr. James Andrews and was told by him to rest for a few weeks and then go back and play

[sook]

btw everybody i saw KBP's youtube page and he writes perfectly fine on there

and that worked out perfectly

[sonic21]

that's too bad for tmac, that sucks.
but the rockets play better without him so...

[Thompson]

I feel bad for TMac, both because of the injury and because of the 'quitter' press that arose as a result of the injury. He seemed kind of despairing in that interview about his missed dunk, though he tried to laugh it off. Get well soon McGrady.

lol this is my friends page. He was call Rocket Scientist in clutch site. He is nice guy you can talk to him in youtube.

[BlackSwordsMan]

vaughn and the spurs coyote for T-mac?

[Indazone]

Just get me some cougar bait and some smokes and you can have T-Mac.

[robbie380]

THese ing idiots told him to play through it the whole time and he was complaining....Just like Yao last season!

I am appalled beyond belief how are medical staff is so clueless

i have to agree 10000000%. i have had 2 ACL reconstructions on the same knee. the 2nd ACL reconstruction was also coupled with microfracture surgery. i don't know how you miss a in bald spot where there is no cartilage. the rockets staff thought they could get cute and try to see if tmac could force his way thru this injury but when your knee is ed up you have to get the surgery done.

...and t-mac will be fine if he has this surgery done and actually rehabs properly. doctors have got much better at microfracture since it is much more common now. there is no reason why he can't be as athletic as he was in the 07-08 season.

again....what a in joke the rockets medical staff is...first yao's overuse injuries and then this massive up with t-mac.

[Indazone]

We agree robbie! in Medical staff of the Rockets has been a joke for a long time now. We are the most banged up chronically injured club in the NBA. Coincidence? I don't think so.

[JamStone]

Rockets just became contenders again.
