"After McGrady, a two-time scoring champion, went to the locker room with an apparent hip injury after the third quarter, Howard scored eight of Houston's first 10 points in the fourth period. "

Fantasy Impact

Well, I was wondering how all of a sudden Juwan Howard had 20 points. Yes, I was refreshing my browser over and over during Veronica Mars last night.

More importantly however, is my girlfriend's basketball team, on which she made T-Mac her #1 draft pick. McGrady said after the game "Right now, I don't know if I will be ready to go next time," McGrady said. "But right now, we'll treat it and see how it is tomorrow. As of now, I don't think I could play, but I don't want to look at it like that. I definitely want to come out and try to play Thursday."

I'm hoping that McGrady (no stranger to playing hurt) lets it rest this time. He doesn't have to carry the team like he did in Orlando, so for his long-term health's sake, I think he should take a game off. |||110010515553924056|||NBA.com: T-Mac Hurt in Rockets Victory
