Don't think so. So it doesn't count, bc technically he got out of the 2nd round with the Rockets while he sat on the bench in a suit just like hes doing now.
He's mentoring Kawhi Leonard: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RtAspg4WSl8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
leonard was using some tmac moves last night in the post against laker players. Post fadeaways, step back midrange jumpers etc etc. He is developing nicely for a 2nd year player.
In McGrady's defense, he was responding to a question about how he would feel about winning the series. He didn't declare the series to be over.
I doubt if he will get any meaningful minutes in the playoffs. It would be nice to see him showing off an old move or two in Game 4.
Since the series is pretty much over, Pop should just let the bench play some heavy minutes. Gives the starters much needed rest, and also the bench some experience.
