TMAC out for three weeks...

Today TMAC told us he's shutting it down for three weeks to let his knew rest.   Its clear that McGrady is hurting, one game good, the next two bad.   Big time Doc, Dr. James Andrews evaluated TMac and back up what the Rockets team doctors have been saying, McGrady has soreness in his knee.  A knee that still hasn't healed from off season surgery.

What's clear here is that TMac is 29 but his body is more like 50.  I don't think he'll ever be completely healthy again.  He's days as a NBA Superstar are dwindling.   Sure I still think Tracy can win games for the Rockets, but until he gets back close to full health isn't going to help them for the long haul.  So shut it down Tracy, see if you can get your bum knee in shape and comeback when the Rockets need you down the stretch.

The NBA is a long season, the Rockets are in first place in the Southwest Division despite all the injuries they've endured.   Man, if they ever get all their players on the court at the same time, we could see a long playoff run.   I know that's a big "IF".
