Gotta agree with DavidMac on this one. Cevidence, I think he was trying to reel you right into that Grant Hill reference. Haha.

But seriously, T-Mac is a tremendous talent that just hasn’t caught a break. A lot of people point to A.I. and LeBron as recent examples of superstars carrying their teams to the Finals. But those Sixers and last year’s Cavs both folded in the in the Finals after advancing through a weak Eastern Conference.

In T-Mac’s time with Orlando, Darrell Armstrong was his #2. Rafer is solid but at 13 points a game while shooting below 40%, he isn’t exactly a powder keg.

T-Mac and Grant came at the same time, true, but
2000 – Hill played 4 games
2001 – Hill played 14 games
2002 – Hill played 29 games
2003 – Hill played 0 games

2004 McGrady was traded.

Gooden played 19 games in 02 and in 03 he averaged 11.6 PPG. That is solid but that is not great help.

And I’m not trying to say that to take a shot at T Mac..one of my five favorite players…

Also….Drew Gooden was on the team with him in Orlando. And Drew is a good role player that can help take a team to a championship…..he’s been to the finals…

Name another star on T-Macs team when he was in Orlando, hell not another star just a consistant scorer or someone who could create their own shot.

Name someone for the first two games in Houston would was a consistant scorer and who could create their own shot.

Thats why he loses the first round, clear as that. You win championships and series because of the TEAM.

You see how just one person who can create their own shot, freed up T-Mac last night, and how they therefore won the game.

Michelle I like you but seriously it’s not his fault? he’s been unquestionably the best player on the team since Orlando. And he has never won a playoff series? Even by accident you slip backwards into the second round sometimes. I mean really…. it is his fault.

Would you hear Jordan saying it’s not my fault? or Kobe? or CP3? or hell… even LeBron.
