    I truly agree, with this. Even though I'm a huge MAC fan.

    But I believe that he did his job in the game 7 last season

    and nobody else stepped up.

    Now with our new additions (M.James, S.Francis)

    We will have some other scorers

    T-mac will still be the main offensive man.

    McGrady dosent make anyone better?. what games are you watching?. McGrady gets so many good shots for he's teammates it's not funny. besides nash, there is'nt a better playmaker in the game. kobe is a more dynamic scorer, but if you're criteria is who makes he's teammates better, Tracy>>>.kobe. i dont see kobe getting 16 assists n the playoffs.

    I you gonna pullout nonsense out of ure ass, atleast make sense. ask any non rockets fan and they'll tell you mcgrady is one of those players who does make others around him that much better with he's sublime playmaking and passing. .

    i don't blame them though. when u have a type of talent like tmac that says "i can be the best player of all time" type of talent, people expect those things out of you.

    but again i ask people. when kobe played with shaq, shaq carried them for primarily 3 quarters and kobe finished. that's why u saw during the first 2 championship yrs, kobe only avg 22-23 pts in the playoffs.

    do u think yao carries this team at any time for more than one quarter? no. this team still depends on tmac to do 80% of the things on offense. that's too much.

    but until tmac wins, he'll hear this OVER and OVER, which is expected.

    but like i said, we have ballhandlers now in francis/james. we have an offensive PF in scola to spread the floor even more. we have guys who can penetrate and create BY THEMSELVES now.

    next yr, tmac's role is simple. SCORE SCORE SCORE. it's that simple. look to score, then look to score some more, then look to score even more. the pts and assists will roll up like cake.

    when u only have one responsibility on your mind, it's much easier to dominate.

    Look i can understand people questioning he's lack of playoffs success(despite putting up 29 points 7 assists 7 board in each of hes playoff series), but to say things he struggles against player X or B with any proof, it's just plain stupid.

    the only type of players that give tmac trouble are the shorter players primarily now. why? they negate his speed and make him a perimeter player. and when his shot is not on, he's gonna struggle. but last yr, his J was just not very consistent so that's why. i actually want him to take those fadeaways... b/c those are the correct shots.

    i think he figured out guys like tayshaun prince and ron artest and how to punk them pretty easily. he dominated those 2 guys w/ ease last yr when he tried to score. he pretty much had his way w/ bowen throughout his career.

    stop.

    T-Mac, is a leader on this team. like the greats that preceded him, this Rocket will soar when circumstances are right.

    circumstances are right.

    Against Artest on 07
    40 points 14-28 50% 3-6 3pt 50% 8 boards 10 assists in 39 minutes
    37 points 12-31 38% 3-7 3pt 42% 2 boards 9 assists in 41 minutes
    28 points 11-26 42% 2-8 3pt 25% 6 boards 12 assists in 44 minutes

    I think it's fir to assume he can perform against ron ron

    I remember all those games. They were amazing but you have to remember that Artest made 2 game-tie shoots against the Rockets last year. But Tracy was really amazing against him
