The Houston Rockets have gone 41 straight games without the services of Tracy McGrady(notes) and he's getting extremely peeved about it. In fact, he's so annoyed that he showed up at the Target Center in Minneapolis and dressed in his game uniform and went through all his pregrame rituals, according to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.

He and coach Rick Adelman then apparently had an "emotional and sometimes loud" meeting about what the plan is for McGrady. The meeting supposedly kicked off with McGrady slamming the door shut.

McGrady is apparently feeling recovered from the microfracture surgery on his left knee and wanted to hear straight from Adelman - not Rockets general manager Daryl Morey or trainer Keith Jones - about his plan for McGrady, who apparently has to wait to play till at least next week when he will get another MRI to see if everything looks healed up.

The Houston Rockets' Tracy McGrady(notes) was saying the other day that he would be back on the court in a game by Nov. 18. But the team was saying at the same time that he wouldn't even be in a full practice till Nov. 23. So who to believe?

Well, McGrady has adjusted his expectations. The guard is saying he was misunderstood, according to the Houston Chronicle. He just hopes to be playing by Nov. 18. "It's a target date," McGrady said. "I didn't say I was coming back; I said it was a target date, just like we have a date to have the MRI on the 23rd. Everybody is blowing it out of proportion like I'm guaranteed to come back. I want to play, so that's what we're targeting."

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey continues to stress that there is no timetable for T-Mac's return right now.

Tracy McGrady(notes) is saying he'll be back in a game on Nov. 18, but the Houston Rockets are saying they have no idea when T-Mac will be back on the attack, according to the Houston Chronicle.

So who's telling the truth? Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said Monday that no timetable exists for T-Mac to play. He'll get a run-through at the next Rockets' full practice, which is Nov. 23.

But the 30-year-old McGrady told Adrian Wojnarowski and Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports via email that he was returning Nov. 18. He then wrote on his blog: "I have been practicing, training, and rehabbing hard for my return to the court. I'm in a good place mentally and my body feels ready to get back out there, so now I am just waiting on my doctors to give me the clearance to go ahead to play. I'm going full speed at practice and am not being held out of drills anymore. I'm hoping to get out there as soon as possible, and with everything that my doctors have been telling me, it sounds like that will be sooner rather than later."
