<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">McGrady returns to Orlando on Thursday night, six months after he and the Magic parted on bitter terms following a blockbuster seven-player trade with the Houston Rockets. The team didn't think he was a leader; he distrusted the organization's ability to surround him with a decent supporting cast. No matter what he meant, Orlando's fans have made McGrady -- once central Florida's crown prince -- the lightning rod for their frustration over last season's 61-loss disaster. ``There will be a lot of boos, because some people don't understand all the things that happened,'' McGrady said. ``But there will be some cheering me too. I still have a lot of friends there.'' </div> Full Story Whats Magic fans thoughts on T-mac's return for thursday night? Glad this one will be on TNT.
il be glad to see him lose and lose badly he not only turned his back on us but then kicked dust in our faces with the i didnt try story i will be happy to watch that on t.v and boo at home as i couldnt get tickets but i hate him he really hurt us with what he said
Exactly. If you dont want to play for a team leave it at that, no point trying to lick your own wounds by saying that that team meant nothing to you (in other words basically). Its quite child like really, and absolutly no respect for the team that gave him his big chance in NBA basketball (not to say another team wouldnt have, but we were the ones that unshackled him).
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That's what I would do if I was at the TD Waterhouse Stadium. I really hope we dominate and I hope Christie can contain Tmac to around 20 pts and Cato can contain Yao. Go MAGIC!
will francis put yao on yet another one of those coveted posters this year. i hope so, I think t-mac and francis will both try to send a message to their previous teams. I beleive the magic will prove to win this game. I think that the rockets just dont seem to have it all together to beat this fastpaced magic team.
I will be watching this game tonight! I think McGrady will have an excellent game today. I think he will drop 30+ just to make a statement. I think normally this game could easily go into the hands of the Magic, but just the fact it is McGrady returning back to Orlando, he will put on a show. I think the Rockets will eventually end up wining with McGrady help being key for them. The Magic are also without Hill so, I also think that prove detrimental in the long run. It should be a good game though. Every game on TNT is good. Make sure you guys are watching!
^I can't watch it ;( I also think that T-Mac will try every possible thing to make a big statement and the booos will only encourage him. Personally, I don't think he should receive any. He should get a warm welcome. Becasue as I said in the other thread, it's time to look in the future and forget about those things, live in the present and don't dwell in the past.

It's gonna be one tight game. McGrady might explode for 50. There ain't no body on the Magic that could stop him, not even Christie. Going to be a good one.
Yeah, McGrady will definitely give the fans a show in this game. I expect to see fast breaks and driving/slashing throughout the whole game from both teams. TMac and Francis would like to prove a point against their old teamsand teammates for sure. Definitely gonna be a fun game to watch for all basketball fans.
