    Harden makes McGrady look like he has the Heart of a Lion.

    McGrady would've won a ring with this roster.

    Tmac put up better performances in 08 on one leg and one arm than Harden has so far.

    Your definition of a 6th man/3rd star averages 25 points a game? :confused:

    Truth... Yao and Tmac had NOBODY. Bob Sura, Jon Barry, Luther Head, Juwan Howard, David Wesley, Mo Taylor, Chuck Hayes, Rafer Alston, Come on now...

    I have said this all along that the Rockets' style won't win playoff games. They realized this, that's why they went in Howard so much. Unfortunately, it's too late for that. You cannot change how you play the game now after played with a different style the entire season.

    Harden becomes a liability in a half court, post-dominated offense, because he doesn't know how to play off the ball. You add his high TO & horrible defense to it, he is the BIG negative now.

    You do, or die with the way brought you here, the odd is not good for that kind of basketball in the playoff, but it's better than change the style now.

    thanks everyone for posting vids of true playoff greatness. even though tmac sadly wasn't able to lead teams full of scrubs out of the first round against vastly more talented teams, it sure was fun watching him put on amazing performances in a valiant effort to will the rockets to the promised land.

    if only our current stars had as much heart and determination.

    T-Mac is one of the best performers in the playoffs, the guy never made it out of the first round but he put up some monster numbers

    So TMAC stepped it up and raised his number in the playoffs while his role players faded. Harden has the role players but fades when it counts. Sounds about right.

    When they write the book on this era of Houston Rockets basketball, this chapter will end with this sentence:

    Sadly, the one advanced metric Morey never tried to calculate was the one that measured the size of a player's heart.

    Remember when we had to rely heavily on that ancient sunglass jacker Juwan Howard and then once he was out we had to unleash Flyin Ryan Bowen. LOL.

    Anti-Tmac?

    If anything, he has been The Tmac this series.

    Says its on me and then proceeds to fail.

    Cant take criticism and throws the team under the bus when pushed by the reporter.

    Aaron Brooks willed us to the second round. Look where he is now. :rolleyes::eek:

    One playoff series win in over 16, 17 years and all you can come up is Tmac?

    Everything has to come together.
