T-Mac to Face Rockets for First Time Since Trade
"I'm not trying to go out and score 30 or 40. That's not what I'm about right now," McGrady said. "I'm moving well on the basketball court and doing some things I've done in the past. I'm not worried about my numbers right now."
McGrady won't sugarcoat his feelings that the Rockets did him wrong, were dishonest and didn't treat him with the dignity afforded a perennial All-Star with five years of Rockets service.
"I felt, for what I did, I felt I was mistreated," McGrady said. "I moved on from that. But I felt I deserved better."
When he had microfracture surgery last February, the Rockets pretended he did it on his own.
"I kind of got thrown under the bus," McGrady said. "Not having the franchise protect me from things said in the media, nobody came out and told the truth. Like when I had my surgery, I notified the team. But in the media, they said I didn't say anything to the team."
When McGrady made it back in December, Adelman limited him to seven minutes per game. McGrady felt lied to.
"What was confusing about it was why it didn't increase when I was told it would increase," McGrady said of his playing time.
"Once it didn't increase, nobody really told me why. It was time for them to make a move, time for me to make a move. I would have liked for it to go more smoothly. It's a bittersweet moment."
