Mac back next week? He thinks so. Rockets don't | NBA | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
"This time, the Rockets get to have a say about decisions about the Rockets. Last season, when Tracy McGrady decided to have microfracture knee surgery, ending his season, the Rockets found out by watching television. They thought they sort of deserved to play a part in the decision-making, particularly since they were paying him roughly $20 million and their doctors had said for months that he could play his way back into being a star player. But it was his body, and his decision.... A season later, however, he clearly has not learned from the experience, or simply does not care if the Rockets object to his announcements.... Then on Monday, in an email to Yahoo! Sports, he said he would play next Wednesday. The problem with that was that Rockets general manager Daryl Morey had already said on Monday that nothing had changed in McGrady's timetable, that he won't play until the team considers him to be 100 percent and that he would need to be checked out in a full practice before he will be permitted to play a game."

thnx for the links..

What will happen with the Fisher/PG position is going to be interesting. Fisher’s quote about his minutes:

“I don’t work as hard as I work in the summer to sit on the side,” Fisher said. “But whatever it takes for us to be successful is what I’m prepared to do.”

Kobe and the post – This might be Kobe’s most efficient year as far as shooting %

Gasol’s injury – are we being told the truth about the severity of Pau’s injury?

The Suns’ great play and the Cavs lousy play prove that Shaq is not the answer anymore. Not even as a second scoring option.

Bynum to practice Tuesday, Pau … not so much

I know it is just a matter of time until we get Pau & Drew back but I think it might be time to restock the liquor cabinet. As I said on another thread:

“This next week will be interesting with Phoenix, Denver & Houston again. I hope we can get our bigs back in the lineup or it could be tough. But as long as they’re not seriously hurt, we’ll get there eventually.”

And yes I am a 2009 World Champion Fan.

I'd rather they come back 100%

then worry about games now. We’re good enough to play with anyone without them.

At least we get to see Kobe go crazy and build MVP credentials. Plus, Ron get cozy in his role. Other teams have to worry more about us getting healthy. If we’re beating them now, imagine how they’ll feel when they play us at full strength. Right now, we’re putting fear into teams.

Oh yeah, I agree. But I think we could easily drop a couple of the next few games. And that will likely lead to the “what’s wrong with the Lakers?” type articles and plenty of needless hand wringing.
Oh well, that’s all just part of the ups & downs of the season.

And yes I am a 2009 World Champion Fan.

got a chance to view the links and thanks

because I missed Kobe on the Lopez show

There are basic Fundamentals that are needed to move forward in this game. Always keep your guard up at all times to avoid being caught in a trap. Overcome the fouls that will be commited against you REBOUND AND PRESS ON. ADJUST to the LimeLight: ALL-STAR PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. Know what your role is and play your position. Find a game plan and execute it. REMEMBER YOU ONLY GET OUT OF THE GAME WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT.
