    He picked the right superstar to piggy back

    Mcgrady with the ball in his hands to end the game and finally reach the 2nd round. A Cinderella ending that's fitting. This is one of the most heartwarming moments in NBA history.

    Somebody needs to make a movie about this.

    That's like a super what if. The rockets didn't make it to the finals and win it, but if they did in your mind, that's ok

    He deserved it right after the game 5 of that horrible Mavs series.

    He could play in the Finals this year. Wonderful journey for once in a generation player

    not sure if u got what i meant. im saying he has technically already passed the first round with Houston. was on the team, not his fault for being injured.

    I really hope Spurs win a championship for the lulz. The board will be gold if T-MAC wins a ring. And tinman would have to live the rest of his life knowing that
    T-Mac is a champion.:grin:.

    It would be better if he was there to actually contribute but it looks like he's just there to fill a roster spot, or maybe Pops was sympathetic to him and just wanted to do him a favor or something.

    It is his fault he was injured. Did someone fall on his foot like Yao ? Did patrick Beverly swipe at him?

    He didn't play any minutes in the playoffs, but if you want to count that than this spurs victory means nothing then.

    I got nothing against the spurs, that's where old rockets go when they aren't in their primes anymore.

    hahahaha. How can it possibly be his fault for being injured? You can have your criticisms of the player but blaming him for injury is simply ridiculous.

    That one season after knee and shoulder surgery he rushed himself back, against the wishes of his coach, got even more hurt, then demanded he only play on the second night of back to backs, quit on Houston in a blowout against Toronto, and then declared himself done for the season without telling anyone on the team.

    It was a terrible season, and more fans are apt to remember the joyous times of Tracy's tenure here... but man was that a horrific showing for T-Mac.

    Good for him, I don't hold a grudge against McGrady.
