    Feel guilty for what exactly? The Spurs were the only team to call him.

    This time he did get past the first round. He was not injured and he played, so it counts. Just because he had good teammates it doesnt count? Just because he played limited minutes it does not count? Thats a double standard and you know it. What about when he played a lot of minutes and had garbage time players starting next to him? You blame no one but TMac for not advancing. Why should it count for the rest of his teammates if they advance? Especially if they dont get any blame if they dont.

    When have the raptors, rockets, magic, hawks, pistons or knicks won a championship? In 04, but that pistons team was not the one he joined in 2010. Before that? The 95 rockets. I dont think he got to play with hakeem. So we blame tracy, but we dont blame poor management for failing to put him next to a healthy star in his prime. He never played next to a shaq, duncan, or hakeem. I guess they were happy with one max contract because he was selling out arenas. fans knew he was good. He played next to an injured grant hill and yao ming. The rest of his teammates? Pfff

    Those are big man. Was he longer here than Steve and Cat should be the question. Compare him to guys who play on the perimeter.

    Tofwalker,
    you are making the Lin fans shake their heads.

    What the hell does position have to do with a player staying with one team?

    How long did Kobe stay with the Lakers?

    Tracy asked for a trade and was traded, just like when he was in Orlando.
    Dude played with a bunch of teams, he's loyal to one person.

    You can pretend he's some life long Rocket, he's not.

    I agree with you.

    Why would he care about what he did with the other organizations? it's about getting his right now.

    So u hate a 33 year old basketball player for continuing to play the game? He even pursued his career in china at one point.

    BWAHAHAHA! Yeah tinman, because Mcgrady had the same supporting cast as Lebron.

    Lebron, Dwade, and Bosh. 3 ALL STARS

    How is that so hard to comprehend?

    Lebron made the finals with Cleveland.

    Lebron won the finals with Miami.

    tracy mcgrady couldn't even lead a chinese team to a playoff series.

    i said I agree with you.

    he doesn't care about the last 4-5 organizations, he just wants to win one for himself and his fans.

    Even with in Cleveland Lebron had a better supporting cast than Mcgrady ever had. Plus, Leastern conference.

    Lebron won the finals with a stacked team.

    Mcgrady's career is pretty much in its twilight, so I don't see how that's relevant.

    the nba's been around for quite awhile, there's no pity or exception rule for your favorite player.

    he couldn't lead a team to anything. but he sure can ride a team like the spurs like they were horses on a stampede.

    Lebron could lead a team, he's a significantly better leader.

    Nice edit.

    It's not that hard to win a poker game with the deck stacked.

    you mean just the first round of the playoffs right? I don't think he has too many stats after the first round.

    Yao was the better Rocket. He cared more about the team then himself.

    I got a great idea for you.

    Pretend Leonard and ginobli is Tmac.

    There your fantasy is coming true, Tmac is playing significant minutes in the NBA Finals.

    Oh so now you can read minds? Wow, that's pretty cool.

    If I remember correctly in the 08 playoffs against the Jazz it was game 6 in Utah and Mcgrady dropped 40, 10, and 5. The next highest scoring Rocket? Scola with 15. Keep thinking Mcgrady didn't care about the team.

    :rolleyes:

    reading a mcgrady fans mind is probably easier than reading the mind of a sea lion.
