    you have got to be kidding me?

    the guy tried his best. If he hit those 3 pointers noone here would be complaining. i reckon if he got 20 assists and lost you would still be complaining

    You know I usually stay out of this kind of stuff but remember game 7 vs the Suns last year. 3 second half shots. 'Nuff said.

    Not to mention running out the best teammate he ever had, and then blaming the management for not giving him good enough supporting cast.

    Well, Kobe does have the tendency to quit and blames everyone else but himself.

    McGrady tried to take the pressure off his teammates and then took personal responsibility after the game. Kobe ran Shaq out of town and/or didn't stand up for him to keep him around.

    Kobe is a phenomenal player, but this "hero worship" where he can do no wrong is way too overplayed.

    Whether or not T-Mac said "It's on Me" didn't matter. People were saying that to prove he was great he had to lead a team out of the 1st round all season. Why is he a bad guy for saying the same thing everyone else did? All T-Mac is guilty of is buying into the hype a lot of folks have been saying for a long time.

    To say that somehow the team lost because he said that, and because he cried after the loss, idiotic. Yet that is the only argument you can put up as to how it is actually Tracy's fault.

    My thing is yes there is a lack of support on this team. Being that as it is why does everyone call out TMAC, Yao, and JVG. I'm not a JVG advocate, but if there is lack of talent around our stars shouldn't we all be calling out CD just as much as we call out JVG.

    Yes, basketball is a team effort, it depends on how you build the team. Apparently we didn't build the team good enough.
    It's not TMAC and Yao's fault to lose the series, but it did certify both are good players, but not great.

    Look, that's just how t-mac is in the public. deep down, when he thinks about it, he's just like what you and me want him to be. It's ok. he said it, but words are only words.

    This article is 100% accurate. Outside of yao, mcgrady, and battier, (whom all played well) our whole team is a bunch of 3rd stringers. maybe not alston.

    we need a coach that stresses the same level of defense but also with an offensive capability.

    we also need a better pg and pf. That will get us there. t-mac has been stuck in iffy situations all his career. this one is not any different, regardless of what he may say to the media.

    maybe he really has a curse, maybe it's his salary. but any way you put it, we need better supporters to make it anywhere.
