    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Tracy McGrady, knocked out of the game Saturday by a Dikembe Mutombo elbow, was nearly knocked out entirely before he regrouped enough to be carried from the court.McGrady collided with Mutombo late in the first quarter of the Rockets' 81-63 victory over Cleveland at Toyota Center, catching Mutombo's left elbow just above his left eye. He nearly passed out on the bench, before he was taken from the court."It was scary to see," Rockets guard Rafer Alston said. "You don't want to see that happen to anybody."McGrady had a Grade 1 (mild) concussion. He was evaluated by team doctors Saturday night and will be again today."As it went on, he started getting a little light-headed," Rockets trainer Keith Jones said. "I said, 'Let's go to the back, ' and as he stood up, he felt real dizzy so we sat him back down. I think (today) he is going to feel a lot better."We'll take it day-by-day, see how he feels in the morning and go from there. He was feeling pretty good when he left. The headache lessened. The vision was good."Cavaliers forward LeBron James was hit by a Mutombo elbow in almost exactly the same way during the 2004-05 season and suffered a broken eye socket."I went for a loose ball," Mutombo said. "Next thing I know, my man was lying on the floor. It was terrible."I just feel bad I got two of my teammates on my knockout list (Juwan Howard caught a Mutombo knee in practice last week). I knew he was hit. I thought maybe he was going to get up, maybe take some time on the floor and get up. But when we came back at halftime, he was fine. He was a little bit dizzy, but he was fine. I said, 'Sorry.'"Too bad it was my teammate."</div>http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports...kn/4375432.html"Too bad it was my teammate.":HAHAHA:

    Deke is dangerous man. He needs some elbow pads like Hakeem.
