Just heard the sound bite on the the radio. (790 Sports Animal)

Said he was just being really cautious because he wants to be able to help the team when he comes back and he was thinking about his career.

Whatever. How'd he go from "I'm in a shithole" to "75% chance of playing" in one day is totally beyond me, but if he plays hopefully he'll help us out against SA, against whom we need all the help we can get.

Man.. Today we watched his interview after the practice and he said ," its not even a game time decision. if spurs game tomorrow , ı wont be able to play ." something like that.

LOL I guess Iggy was right. Dude has a flair for the dramatic, saying he's still injured and coming and out and playing against SA (Well not completely sure, but better than I'm not even a game time decision). I mean everybody knew that he had that type of personality, but after Adelman said he looked slow I tended to believe it.

Anyways, like I've said I won't believe anything he or any doctor says until he actually comes out on the floor.

No link...I heard it on the radio.

Edit: If you don't mind clicking on the live feed and waiting for the sports update you can hear it then.

I think with any injury, the first time back it's always the hardest. You don't completely trust your body to do what you want to do, and the soreness just add to uncertainty. Good news is that he obviously felt better and more confident about the knee, which is always good news.

T-mac has no filter between his brain and his mouth, which is why he is a walking sound byte. If he just said that his knee didn't feel well in yesterday's practice and hoped the knee would do better today, then we won't have this T-mac is wuss discussion. Guess PR relation isn't a top priority to him.

b/c he said that when he had his FIRST practice/any on court activity since his injury. it's going to be SORE/PAINFUL.

now the knee is responding and he feels better. that's what u get as u keep playing.

it's just that tmac should have held back his evaluation yesterday and save it for today when he has a better pulse on his knee.

I know that. I was mocking McGrady's mood swings.

If he can play tomorrow and help us, great.

McGrady before the game: "There is a 95.3% chance of me playing tonight. I have to be very careful. I would like to help this team, but I can't if I'm mentally not there."

quit getting your panties up in a bunch about everything TMac! Be like me, just accept him for whatever he is and hope his play will return to Dallas series form! Or you're going to have a lot of headaches

watch him pull an IVERSON here saying "i'm superstar, you don't see superstar coming off the bench"; then decided to not play at all
