    Not T-Mac, too.

    Of all the options doubt had, it chose to bite Tracy McGrady.

    It chose to take one of the most entertaining and expressive young stars in the NBA and make his spirit blank and dull. It chose to stop attacking the Orlando Magic from the lower levels and go straight to the top, to the source of what's right about this franchise.

    No: "I'm only human."

    Not T-Mac, too: "I was thinking that, after this year, I'm done with basketball."

    I'm only human. I hate the zone. If you want to jump off the bandwagon now, fine.

    The old McGrady would have smirked at his slump and said, "Y'all know me. Y'all know how I bring it. If anyone wants to question my game, I'm right here."

    We need that guy back. Now.

    Let's go back to last fall. I had an arrogant conversation with McGrady.

    "Are you as cocky as people say you are?" I asked him.

    "That's me, man," he replied.

    He shrugged and continued: "I'll tell you what I feel. I say what's on my mind. I don't bite my tongue for nobody. It's not really just being cocky. That's just who I am. Being an elite player in this league, being one of the top players, you can't help but to be a little bit cocky."

    Oh, how much do we miss that guy right now?

    It's time to rise up, T-Mac.</div>

    It wouldn't suprise me if hes going through some personal stuff right about now. He is usually so cocky and makes everything look so easy. Now he doesnt seem to give a **** about basketball in general.

    He'll be back. I agree, I wouldn't be suprised if he's got junk goin on in his personal life too. Great point. I read that article earlier today myself. Wholeheartedly agree. I think it's just a matter of time till he comes out... at least I hope so

    I think all Tmac needs is one good game. A dominating performance to start caring about basketball again. I hope everything is alright in his personal life and I hope he can get his act together tonight against the Grizzlies.

    one good game AND a solid back-up player...with this start, they wouldn't go far if Juwan doesn't get his act together even if TMac dominates again...

    Yes Yes I agree where your when this thread was started. All you T-mac fans email him or somethiing letting him know he needs a back up player every once and a while. Let him score 30+ points in 3or 4 games he won't need one then but now he needs one like a hobo needs a sighn.

    Tmac finally is playing good. (i hope i don't jinx him) . 34 pts on 13-20 shooting, with around 9 mins to go in the 4th. About time tmac. They're still down because noone else can score. Howard has 10.

    Not to be rude, but you should have kept your mouth shut.
