    He has accomplished more with his teams

    Derek Fisher looked pretty good defending McGrady in the post in the Jazz series.

    Was hard for Tmac to go around that ass.

    yeah, but they played the Blazers who any one of those Jazz or Mavs teams that T-Mac lost to would have wiped the floor with. Not to mention that Rockets team was the deepest we'd had in like a decade. Stop comparing different rosters and different seasons. Same thing with Jordan...other than the stacked Bucks in Jordans rookie year, he only ever lost to teams that won or lost in the NBA Finals. Not like T-mac was losing to teams that were garbage. Rockets weren't favorites in any of those series we lost.

    What is McGrady worth?

    Not 1, not 2, but 8 seasons worth of excuses for 1st round exits!

    Count it! 8!

    All of you fools thinking about Tmac at this point in time just want the rockets to lose because Harden has surpassed tmac so easily that you hate the rockets now

    dude, its the 4 seed versus the 5 seed. the first year, we barely edged them out to get the home court. and then boozer torched yao ming. the second time we had the home courts, and then lost Yao for the playoffs -- not sure if that was a blessing in disguise. its not like we were heavily favored or anything because we had home court. they matched up well against us. Anyhow, he was not in his prime then, not elite, and we didn't lose because of him. we were only in that position because of him!

    This guy showed McGrady how to advance into the second round.

    Meanwhile McLady was kissing Kobe's ass and rooting for the Lakers, while Artest and the Rockets battled Lakers.

    I do like the false narrative that if someone mentions T-mac, they want the Rockets to lose? Something that a 5 yr old would conjure up when they have no actual rebuttal. Yes, Harden has accomplished more than T-mac with the Rockets, but to ignore the supporting cast and opponents is being myopic, plus Harden has had more bad games than good in the playoffs with the Rockets.

    When the Rockets are in the second round of the playoffs and barely lose an overtime game in the semi finals
    Bumping a tmac thread is basically having the murder weapon in a murder case

    Guilty of hating the rockets

    Garbage thread.

    James Harden right now is better than Tracy McGrady ever was.

    NOPE.

    T-mac was a good to great defender. That about ends the discussion.
