Unable to finish his first full practice since his knee injuries, Tracy McGrady left Toyota Center on Thursday doubting he would be ready by Saturday for his first game back with the Rockets. "It's unlikely, not even a game-time decision," McGrady said. "As of now, I'm not playing."

Is anyone surprised by this? The man is made of glass....

I've never seen a player be this big play like he's so little. This is the same league that EARL BOYKINS plays in...

Tracy Mcgrady needs to learn to play a smart less physical type game. Work on his midrange game and stop trying to be that 19-20 old dunk artist. He also needs to realize this is Yao's team and play his position.

Surprise, surprise!

This guy needs to spend more of his time working on conditioning during his summers. He does not play for Team USA, there's no reason he can't be getting in great shape in the off season and be ready to play 80+ each year. He just seems to get more frail as the the years go on.

Think the Rockets would go for a McGrady for Bobby Simmons/Dan Gadzuric/draft pick trade with the Bucks? Me neither, but it would help both teams and would take a lot of pressure off of McGrady.

Trade him....

January 18, 2008  02:41 PM ET

T-Mac is not a winner and never will !!
Quote from last year's playoffs befor Game 7 vs Utah: Game 7 isn't the most important game of my life..that tells everyting

If we don't make the playoff this year, IT'S ON ME!!!

Regards,

Tracy McGrady

McGrady is still a T-MAC we know... I know he has issues with gettin injured, but ya'll need to leave this guy alone, specially if you are houstan rockets fan... he has given plenty of high energy games.... and ones he is BAC.. Ya'll watch out! Never give-up on no body, give 'em chances... be reasonable! this year i predict that we will past the first round .... ITS ON ME! come ye'll at me if we don't.... ! give this guy some breather... !

Houston needs to move on and accept that the Mc Ming Duo isn't working anymore.T-Mac wouldn't certainly be against a trade and I think he fits better in the eastern conference..He could easily be the ONLY man in a lot of teams...and have a chance to go deeper in the playoffs..Kobe knows what I'm talking about :-)

PEACE guys

Groundhog day! I could swear I read this story yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that, and....

January 18, 2008  08:58 PM ET

McGrady to the Lakers for Odom & Radmanavich!!!

January 18, 2008  09:33 PM ET

trade him and the rockets arent gonna make playoffs anyway they are having a sucky year

 
January 19, 2008  11:09 AM ET

they should have approached the Lakers and drafted a draft pick or 2 plus mcgrady for kobe....

and adelman? wow.. everyone had wanted Van Gundy's head on a platter, and now look where the team is... the team was a helluva lot better under van gundy.
