I know that there has been talk about me not playing in the beginning of the season, and I know my fans want to hear from me. So here it is straight from T-Mac. I feel optimistic about this season, and I know that the Rockets are a great team with the potential to be special. With that said, I need to feel 100% with my knee before I get out their on the court. It is almost there, but I need to take precautions and if my knee isn’t ready yet when we take on Memphis, I will have to wait and do my best to support the team in other ways. I need to have 100% confidence in that knee so that I am able to do the things on the court that make me the player I am. That time will come soon, but I don’t want to rush it and risk further damage just to be able to play on opening night. I am so confident with my team this season that If I have to hang back for a few games until I feel my knee is 100%, than that is what I will do. You will see a fierce T-Mac on the court this season, I can promise you that. We are a strong unit that has great chemistry. We all want it badly. I want to win, we want to win, and we will make Houston proud. Just enjoy the show Rockets fans and believe. I do..
