he knows his body more than anybody else's in this world! if he thinks he cant perform at a high level, then he's right! he's just going to be "chuck hayes" ver. 2 out there on the court and might cost us another game! let him rest, let him pomder some thoughts..let him unwind

Don't worry. We'll get a good lottery pick, then trade it and Shane Battier for Malik Rose. :banghead:

damn does he even want to play? I know it's an injury and all but it's also mental. if he really had the drive to play and the focus to get back on the court I bet he would have gotten over this injury a lot faster...

I dont want 05-06 season again.. his injuries will not finish anymore..

ı cant say that we should trade him.. but we should bring him best doctor of the usa..

he says day to day and we will see , that he can play in seattle game. if he is not , just be relax and think the lottery..

Yeah, it's

Joel

Ministries

at

Lakewood
Church

I also heard he references the Bible in his sermons at least once a month.

As for TMac, some people just have lower tolerances for pain than others. Good luck to most players running around as hurt as Allen Iverson or punching through a cadillac with their face like Bill Romanowski. I think he's being a pansy myself, but I also think most people are being pansies when they wear jackets in windless temperatures over 45 degrees (it's not cold until you start to go numb, imo).

Of course, I can't criticise him too much for sitting out on knee tendonitis, that stuff suuuucckkkksssss

Since we're on the topic. Maybe we can send T-Mac to Benny Hinn.

give him a break
he sit for a month
you can't ask him to do what he did usually on the court on Saturday after just 1 practice
i didn't do any exercise since mid December
i try to play some ball few days ago
i ran out of breathe after 5 min
i can't even defend

T-Mac's game is based on athleticism
50% of T-Mac is not going to help us
because on offense he's not effective (never a good spot up shooter)
on defense he's not in game condition
he's not going to help the team
same reason why JVG didn't play Wells last year
cause he's not in game condition

mentally not ready
i think someone overreacted to the word he used
T-Mac is not well educated
maybe he used the phrase wrong
basically it's just that he's not ready to comeback and help the team

Use the phrase wrong? You mean like "escapegoat"
