T-Mac cancels MRI, says he’s fine
Tracy McGrady (photo. Marc Morrison)After canceling the MRI on his left knee originally scheduled for Tuesday, Tracy McGrady was practicing full-contact with the Rockets earlier today, showing no ill effects of the injury and saying he’s “hopeful” he can play in tomorrow’s game against the Mavericks.
“Right now, (playing) tomorrow is not ruled out,” McGrady told the Houston Chronicle. “I have to talk to coach and the trainers, maybe even monitor my minutes more. I could play. We just have to come out with some sort of solution. I don’t want to be out there looking the way I am right now. Me, coach, the trainers have to come up with some sort of solution.”
Ron Artest and Yao Ming, also hurt in Monday’s win over the Thunder, didn’t practice, but both said they’ll be fine for Wednesday’s game. In other news, Shane Battier practiced for the first time today, and will be back on the court soon.

If it feels fine..then why not have the MRI anyway to make sure? Something’s not right, and TMac’s gonna fuck it up. Your knees are only the most important body parts on your body…right up there with your back…so McGrady favors the knee just enough and his back will go out…
smart

damn it T-Mac, just get the damn MRI and take 30 games off. The Rockets are better offensively with him in the game, but the defense picks up when he’s off the court because he’s currently damaged goods. Just rest up and come back strong in the playoffs.

I feel sorry for T-Mac…He could be one of the dominant players in the league, but his body isn’t there.

If he picks up a serious injury by doing this it could end the Rocket season.
The management and coaching staff in Houston shouldn’t be allowing this to happen. The man isn’t healthy, it’s as clear as daylight. He shouldn’t be on the court.
They’re risking everything for a game in November, why?
