    Finally we have a playoff game that has gone to overtime! If you are not watching the Magic-Bucks game, shame on you, you are missing a doozy! All I can say is: DAYUM!

    Easily the best game of the playoffs so far...

    Tracy is one hell of a player, but damn does he have an ego. You have to be pretty cocky to say " Glenn Robinson has gone from the big dog to the little dog." Then after the game they asked him about the contribution of his teammates and he said,"I was creating for those guys and it was a good thing they were hitting those shots for me." Me? Say they hit those shots for us or the team, not me.

    That aside, it was one hell of a game, and all in all, a good day of basketball.

    I hate that cockyness of the McGradys, Carters, and Bryants of the league. I wish that more players would take the humble but hungry approach that makes Hakeem and the Rockets such a joy to watch.

    Mcgrady is better than Carter IMO.Whether he's better than Bryant is debatable.

    Has anyone ever seen a star look like he's putting out as little effort as McGrady,and be so successful? That's not to say he's not trying, just that he looks so effortless out there. Tonight was the first time I've ever seen him kinda break a sweat.

    This was a great game. I'd really like to see Glenn Robinson dominate in a Buck's game four victory, McGrady needs his ego knocked just a little.

    I know McGrady's ego is out of control, but damn, this kid can play. McGrady leaving Toronto was smart. This is, what, his fourth year in the league? The guy's a phenomenal talent.

    I like it when talented individuals have humility but I understand that sometimes, when you're THAT good, you can't help but have that I'm-the-best mentality.

    I'd rather deal with McGrady's "peel-me-a-grape" attitude than watching Carter mug for the camera every time he dunks. At least T-Mac brings it for the playoffs. (Of course, the Knicks play better D than the Bucks, but still...)

    No question, he's one hell of a talent and I don't doubt how good he is at all. I truly believe he's better than Kobe, and he has shown up big time when it's counted most. Kobe is like Tim Duncan, in that you have to question how good he really is considering he has a top 50 player with him in Shaq.

    I could care less if he talked trash, because that stuff doesnt bother me, but how can you say they were hitting shots for me? I just find that quote funny in that it showed he has a huge ego, which is fine because he might not be the player he is without that confidence, but you've got to show a little humility. I could have misinterpreted it, in that he was talking about how they produced for me after I got them the easy shot, but it just didn't come off that way to me.

    I agree with ya on Tracy ROXTXIA. He's one of the few players I love to watch in the league.

    I agree TPL. McGreedy....I mean McGrady [​IMG] is better than Bryant IMHO. The guy simply has the complete package of scoring, rebounding, passing and defense. He takes a good amount of shots, but he has to because with Grant Hill out, the Magic do not have another legitimate scoring threat, unlike the Lakers.

    Oh, and he's only 21!!
