    Actually, it was 13 pts in 33 seconds (started his run at 35 seconds left in the game and scored last with almost 2 on the clock)... but that's just quibbling.

    HOLY HOT DAMN that was amazing! That has to be one for the record books.

    It was reminiscent of Reggie Miller. He scored 8 pts all by himself in something like 13 seconds to win a playoff game. Pretty damn similar, but T-Mac just outdid him!!

    Wow!! I almost turned it off with 1.10.

    For those who wonder about the Miller exploit.

    **************
    Although the Bulls would win the series four games to three, Miller put on a display of last-minute heroics that cemented the "Miller Time" legend. In Game 3, which the Pacers won 107-105, Miller scored 13 of his 28 points in the final four and a half minutes despite a sprained ankle.

    I got so disgusted that I turned it with about a minute and a half to go and then heard about it. Boy was I pissed!

    But I did get to see the highlights on sportscenter and that shot he made where Duncan fouled him was absolutely ****ing ridiculous. God, I take back every bad thing and all the hate that I have ever had towards this man. I love this guy so much that I think I might give my left nut just to shake his hand.

    Tracy McGrady Dominant....

    I remember watching some old NBA highlight show as a kid that had a spot on Isiah Thomas scoring 16 points in 1:20 or so (I dont remember the exact time but I believe it was between 70 and 90 seconds) I thought to myself at the time, this was probably like 10 years ago: Man I wish I could one day witness an offensive explosion like that. It was hard to fathom so many points in such a small period of time. Tonight I make it back home just for the last minute of the game. What I saw indescribable. My legs starting shaking they were weak trembling I saw something ever more dramatic, ever more mind boggling than isiahs or reggie's feat. I had to sit down and drink a glass of water. AMAZING god the craig sagar interview sums it all up. you saw how amazed tracy was himself. man oh man oh man

    HOW SWEET IT IS!!

    13 pts in 4 and a half minutes is considered one of the greatest displays of last minute heroics ever. TMac just matched that output in 35 seconds. Nasty.

    And lest we forget TMac having to leave the court earlier with stomach cramps.

    glynch, Miller's had a lot of amazing moments like that, but this is the one I was most reminded of...

    What was so incredible was the 16 seconds! I remember he turned and shouted right in Spike Lee's face after he drained the game winning 3 (Spike had been trash talking him from the sidelines the whole game).

    Back to McGrady... I loved his interview just after the game. He was so flustered, he couldn't even describe what he'd just done. He couldn't believe it himself. Priceless.

    Good point... forgot about that. And, he had shot just 8-25 before those last 4 threes.

    it may have been like SF last year, where he had to leave to take a poop, and then returned to the game fine.
