<div class="quote_poster">Quoting :</div><div class="quote_post">Tracy McGrady's pride isn't the only thing that has taken a beating this season. Like many of his Magic teammates, McGrady is feeling the aches and pains of an NBA season fast approaching its midway point. "Man, just about every part of me hurts," McGrady said. "I get on the plane after games, and areas on my body that I don't think could hurt hurt. "I don't think people realize just how much contact there is. Some people think we just run up and down the court." McGrady listed his body aches this season: Both knees (tendinitis), left ankle, right hip, right groin, right foot, right shoulder, right forearm -- and his back, of course, is always a little creaky. Because one leg is longer than the other, McGrady wears a lift in his left shoe to help keep his back in alignment. McGrady, 24, winces as he gets up. "Excuse me," he said. "I have to go put some heating pads on this beat-up body."</div> Full Story
I agree. I wish he would just shut up. If it's hurting him that badly, why doesn't he just rest a game or 2. Hopefully he will become more of a leader by encouraging the team.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Air Canada:</div><div class="quote_post">Suck it up and play ! .. this guy talks alot !</div> I agree, he should take a break, the come back and play.
McGrady is McGrady and we all know that. If he isn't winning games for us he's hurt or his team isn't helping him out which is true. Give him a break he's only doing what he knows how
Now the guy can't even talk about being injured because everyone jumps on him. We have so many perfect people on this board.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting DirtySouth:</div><div class="quote_post">Now the guy can't even talk about being injured because everyone jumps on him. </div> Yeah that's true but some people back him up as well
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting DirtySouth:</div><div class="quote_post">Now the guy can't even talk about being injured because everyone jumps on him..</div> It gets boring after the 100th time he keeps on moaning about his so-called injuries.
is all about the record and comments of him not being able to carry a team...next season when we are doing good he'll be like I worked out all my injuries and now Im feeling great as you can see the new record with me feeling good...
Yeah you cant complain about injurys... What is that going to do? Make everyone feel sorry for you? Unless its healing him, why do it? I mean sure hes hurt, and banged up.. But he has to learn to suck it up and keep going and not complain, or take some time off and heal..
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ZeroToOne50182:</div><div class="quote_post">or take some time off and heal..</div> McGrady taking time off would be good for him but not the Magic. The Magic revolve aroung McGrady like the Earth revolves around the Sun. He's just that important to the Magic and to his fans
Would the magic rather lose him for a week or the year? What if the injurys hes talking about build up.. And he gets himself in more trouble... It could threaten his WHOLE season..
what the hell r u talking about revolving? Mcgradys the main factor sure.... but if he's as "banged up" as he claims then rest for a week or something.... I'm sure the Magic can afford to lose 3 more games at the rate their going, which is towards nowhere....now Mcgrady is looking for an excuse to not get all the heat put on him...which it isnt...when VC sat out cause of injury, everyone jumped all over his dick about not helpin his team and stuff....why did he sit out? to HEAL himself...its a part of life...if he has so many injuries, take a godamn rest....your team will lose either way... i know i sound all ignorant there but Mcgrady seriously talks too much for his own good...

Either he is just complaining and needs to shut his mouth, or people are stretching the truth and making a big deal about this just to get on his back..
If Iverson wanted to talk or complain about every bruise or hurt part in his body .. he'd be recording interviews 24/7 ! .. It's part of the game !
Yeah, AI gets injured enough. Same with our team captain last year, Darrell Armstrong. He was injured a lot, but he just went out every game smiled, gave it a 110% and just played and hustled like crazy and got his team pumped up. Tmac played with Darrell for 3 years, he should have taken some notes on how to lead a team, he had a perfect example right under his nose. Oh well, Tmac should just rest because we're not going anywhere anyway so why not rest him and get a worse record, while giving other players more playing time for 1 week. Give them a chance to prove themselves.
I'd say just give T-Mac a break, he really plays are as hard as he can thats why he averages up to like 25 points each game. ANd plus playing bball is not as easy as it seems, he get fouled and jumped on my playermore larger than he is. But still you never see him come out of the game that much, even if hes hurt.
Welcome to the Orlando Board fill out the roll call so we can know a little bit about you. I agree with you on Give Tracy a break.That's what we are doing right now though. He is hurt from what I can see so he needs his rest and us bickering about him won't help.
