    McGrady only had 1 great playoff series as a Rocket (2004-05). The other 2 years he shot like garbage (even for mid 2000's standards)

    McGrady couldn't even get out of the first round in the AWFUL early 2000's Eastern Conference. You put Harden on those Magic teams, and he would have def made it out the first round.

    Coronavirus got some of y'all hallucinating.

    Pull up 19 footers when he should have been attacking the rim to close games.

    He should thank his lucky stars Battier and Chuck were doing all his dirty work. Especially against Utah.

    That was just playstyle those years.I think where Tmac did mistake was not going to college. With proper coach in youth and less mileage he would be great

    True, good out of the box thinking.

    Him, Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway are those glass bodies.

    LOL most teams he's beaten and lost too(if not all) are better than those bum Jazz teams too. Gimme a break, people are really overrating how good those Jazz teams were, they were second round fodder most of the time. The one year they made it to the WCF it was because Dallas lost in the first round to GS. Harden took a trash team to 2nd seed in a stacked WC and then took them to a WCF.

    lol at these stans glorifying T-Mac...they need to cut the bullsh*t

    those Utah teams were nothing special, but when you’re led by T-Mac, I guess any team looks like a legit contender when you’re facing them in the 1st round

    we were up 2-0 against Utah in the 2007 playoffs, but their boy T-Mac shot 39% from the field and 25% from 3 in that series

    How are u supposed to win with that?

    T-Mac is trash against Utah as he loses yet again in the 1st round with HCA: guys like bmelo and daywalker rush in with excuses

    Harden averages 35 on excellent efficiency against a far better GS team even without KD in the 2nd round: he’s a choker

    Put Steve Francis on those Magic Teams and they would have done as well

    If you think that Deron + Boozer + Okur is better than CP3 + Blake + DAJ then I rest my case.

    These guys talk so much crap. It's like those overreacting posts about Harden declining in the past few months when stats suggest otherwise.

    They're praying we lose every game so they can put the blame on Harden.

    LOL

    Comparing Tmac to Beard, playoffs OR regular season, is pure stupidity.

    Tmac can not hold Harden's jock.

    Yeah people seem to think it’s only the Houston series’. Milwaukee he had no business winning against but his Orlando team should had beaten the Hornets one year, and blew the 3-1 lead on the Pistons (which is debatable whether that should be held against him, though keep in mind that was not the championship team yet).

    Harden is the anti-christ of the league especially in the eyes of the media!

    Harden claims to do this, harden claims to do that.

    Those Orlando teams were terrible. His best players were Gordon garicek , Drew Gooden etc. the one time harden has had a supporting cast even comparable with Houston, he also flamed out in the 1st round. Even then give me Lin, Parsons, Asik over tmacs help.

    In addition to that, they beat CP3, Blake, DAJ and Doc Rivers. And btw, the 2nd best player in the team missed 41 games or half of regular season and yet they got second seed.

    Harden has made every team he's played for better, not a little better, much much better.

    I will leave this right here.

    I skipped from page 1 to page 4, so someone likely posted this. If not, I just wanted to point out that James was also playing against the refs in far too many games.

    TMac was not as good as Harden in the playoffs. But the "never getting out of the first round" thing has clouded a lot of people's mind. His career playoffs numbers are eerily similar to Harden's.

    In the spirit of KAT's rant, get the facts. Don't be a hypocrite.

    And I totally understand why Rockets fans, including me, still despise TMac's behaviors.
