T-Mac doesn’t think he can play in the All-Star Game.

Good, because he doesn’t deserve to go in the first place.

With his left knee giving him more problems in his second game back than Saturday in his first, Rockets guard Tracy McGrady said again that he thought he would like to sit out the All-Star Game next month.

“Right now, I think I might have to pass on that,” McGrady said. “I’ll attend, but I don’t think I can play.”

I excluded T-Mac from my list of All-Star picks for good reason. The Rockets (22-19) aren’t playing well enough to justify two All-Star spots, especially considering that T-Mac has missed 14 of the team’s 41 games this season.

The good news is that if he skips the game, a more deserving player like Baron Davis may get his spot.
