T-Mac has always had issues. Not that he is a problem guy, but more because he is one of those few guys in the NBA that can carry a team for games at a time. There are not many of them, you can count them on one hand and every year they are up for NBA MVP. Mostly you can go by first names or nicknames, like KG, King James, Kobe, Dwight, and Mr. Fundamental (that one is Tim Duncan).
Tracy gets hot not just from one spot, but from all over the floor and will just start killing you. Then if you try to double him, he is usually so far from the hoop that players start being wide open all over the floor. Sometimes even then he will keep draining jumpers in both players’ faces.
Tracy McGrady draining a long jumper
A while ago there was this guy that gave personality tests that claimed that Tracy McGrady had the personality the closest to Michael Jordan of anyone in the league. Something about being fearless and needing to be fearless. Well, that is a lot to hang on a guy and Tracy McGrady has never lived up to being like Mike, but that should not take away from how good he is and always has been.
Now he is trying to come back from micro fracture surgery in the same year that Yao Ming is out with surgery and he is unhappy that there is not more playing time for him. So he flew home slightly upset with the coach.
In a strange twist to a story that has had its share of weird plot turns, the Rockets said McGrady received the team’s permission to fly back to Houston, in part so that he could be home for his the birthday of his young son, Laymen.
But there clearly was an impasse between McGrady and Adelman about what the next step should be in McGrady’s comeback from micro fracture knee surgery, and the Rockets said the situation would be readdressed Monday after the team returns home from a back-to-back set against New Jersey and Cleveland.
“That’s what I’m trying to figure out: Where do we go, and still keeping the rest of the guys moving forward?” Adelman said. “It’s kind of a balancing act in trying to figure it all out, and I do not have the magic answer. I wish I did.”

You have to feel for the Rockets. First they lose Yao Ming and it appears that he may not ever be back for extended minutes and now it looks like Tracy McGrady’s days as a Rocket are numbered. Here is a franchise that appeared headed in the right direction a few years ago and now may be starting over.
