    I'll try to write this for the mind of a stupid person or child, hope you can answer it without deflecting everything and going off-topic like you always do.

    1. You said Harden is a true star and will succeed where T-Mac failed (regarding leading the team in the playoffs

    2. You dismiss that T-Mac had some of the best playoff performances in history and that Harden has failed miserably this series, without the other guys playing their butts off we'd be out 0-4.

    3. Instead of admitting that you were terribly wrong and that T-Mac was a better postseason-player, you don't critizice Harden and still talk smack about T-Mac.

    4. When someone brings up these facts you reply with BS things that have nothing to do with the performance of these guys and bring up Hakeem, Elie and other things that don't support your standpoint at all. Are you unable to bring up anything to back up your idiotic posts or are you just that big of a moron?


    Now, please reply to the core points without mentioning Hakeem, Elie, Clutch City or anything else that's not related to the pure playoff performances of T-Mac and Harden.

    Definitely. People are just looking for soap opera reasons to explain his underwhelming performance. I think, clearly, Stotts has come up with a great strategy to contain him. Harden is probably tired and frustrated trying to figure a way out of their grip.

    t-mac did so much for our organization and brought us so much excitement. any true rockets fan that denies that or isn't grateful for that is not a true rockets fan.

    When people walk through those doors at Toyota Center that say "EXIT"
    they'll remember Tracy McGrady.

    Been playing Starcraft. T-Mac to tinman is like psi emitter to the zerg -- whenever T-Mac is mentioned, he just can't help it. Still unsure if he's a master troll with no life, a complete idiot, or an AI.

    Newb.

    Reply to that post where I posted all the Tmac threads that pop up during the playoffs when tmac is at home playing Nintendo Wii or watching reruns of Family Matters.

    you can't right? LeBron, KD, Pierce, Iverson, Kobe... always happens every time around this time of year.

    cause tmac ain't playing, and tmac fans are jealous of insert -NBA STAR-

    flavor of the month is James Harden, who tmac fans are wishing he would fail

    I want Harden to snap out of it. At least Lin snapped out of his funk sorta.

    Maybe because he had the best opportunity of his career with the most talented team he's ever had and he wanted to try and tough it out?

    Maybe him hauling ass by himself against the jazz on an ailing knee and injured shoulder had something to do with it? he was getting his knee drained just to continue playing in the series but no....

    TSLACK U PRICK!!!

    Tmac isn't playing for the Rockets and it's clutch city night.

    who's the troll? I believe Mcgrady fans are trolls, you can put them on your World of Warcraft game

    or maybe you can pretend that they are some spaceship that needs to be fixed on Starcraft

    Tinman, why are you not replyin to my two posts. :p
    All you do is post all this no-substance nonsense that is no actual reply to anything people ask or bring up against your idiotic statements.

    Grow some balls and finally post something worthwhile that helps your statements or do us a favour and shut up.

    You said Harden is a true star and would lead us in the playoffs.

    Now actually compare his and McGrady's performances and make a post solely based on that, explaining how and why T-Mac individually failed and lowered the chances of his team advancing. And then explain why Harden isn't a total failure and better than T-Mac.

    No blabbering and links to non-related threads and articles, just a straight reply to this.

    As long as you're healthy, quitting is ALWAYS a choice.

    I really don't want to open this can... but it's debatable whether McGrady quit due to health anyways. No one would willingly let their career spiral down the way his did.

    There are excuses for losing. Harden will have excuses for why we lost the series. But there are no excuses for your own performance, or for not playing your best. The TEAM wins or loses, but it's put up or shut up time for Harden.

    I saw with my own eyes


    Tmac couldn't make a layup

    His ego could no longer handle sucking and he made bad decisions

    The fall from superstar to scrub is far, but I do not hate tmac, this thread is about tmac/harden looking interested in the playoffs, and god forbid the bashing if tmac performed like harden is in the playoffs

    Harden is not the best player on the Rockets, it's Dwight Howard.

    Harden has been to the NBA Finals, so i'm surprised he's not doing as well.

    He did hit some key shots in the 4th.

    McGrady had some great performances, but that's not what winning is about.

    You can see how being mentally strong is important . See how freaking mentally strong Hakeem is, he told Dwight "being down 3-1 is fun"

    It's a shame that people think of McGrady on a Clutch City t-shirt night.

    actually when people walk through the Toyota Center, they see the huge banner of the Rockets All-Decade Team of the 2000s and see T-MAC and they pay their respects. you should too.

    I would like you to go write this on a chalkboard 1000 times;
    Players are accountable for their own effort
    Teams are accountable for winning and losing
