When I saw the headline run across the bottom line last night, "McGrady says arthritic shoulder needs surgery," I was a little shocked.

Arthritic shoulder? Really? McGrady is less than three years older than Gilbert, and he's already experiencing ailments reserved for the broken hip and early bird special ward.

Of course, Arenas is far from being out of the woods with his knee problems....but I suppose Houston and DC can be empathetic towards each others injury woes.

I'd be really surprised if T-Mac played more than 65 games this season.
