    It wasn't any of those options, it was due to injuries.

    injuries are part of the choices.

    TMac

    Yao

    both of them had injuries right? so those are your injury options.

    You can start your Yao era poll when the Yao era is over.

    Tell me when they send Yao to Chicago to rehab and his agent says he wants a trade.

    I think we should tie tinman and force him to watch T-Mac's "prime days in Orlando" highlights.

    Maybe he'll stick to making throwback threads that way. ;)

    At least minor success is better than complete failure.

    Uh, it's because Yao is ONE FOR FOUR.

    T-Mac is ZERO FOR SEVEN.

    We put a lot of emphasis on getting out of the first round because IT'S SOMETHING THAT T-SLACK HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO.

    Answer me this..

    Is the Yao Era OVER??

    Is he with Tim Grover being pimped out to the Knicks?


    The Answer is NO. Therefore the Yao era is not over.


    Is the Steve Francis Era over?

    yes.

    was that a failure?

    yes.

    I said minor success because you seemed content with the second round. With that logic, making the playoffs is minor success as well. When a team sets a goal to win a championship and they don't achieve that goal, it's complete failure.

    If you're saying Yao hasn't failed just because he's not gone yet, you're obviously counting on his team to get better. It's because of a bad supporting cast that he hasn't succeeded yet.

    I'm making the GARM a better place by trapping the evil here, like Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr or Ghostbusters II with Bobby Brown.

    Cause I guess we're go na have to take controlllll..

    he's had more success, but if you think Yao contributed majorly to the end of this Tmac era which results in failure than you can pick that.

    I gave everyone options, even the stupid people who think this was a great era.

    Lol, what exactly does that have anything to do with the point I was trying to get through? I said UP TO THIS POINT they have BOTH failed. The era of the T-Mac/Yao combo was a failure.

    What's a better car?

    a car that works all the time

    or a car that works half the time?

    do you tell the guy who wins all the races that

    BUT IF MY CAR DIDN'T BREAK DOWN, I'D WIN THE RACE?

    No.

    There's a time you can say Tmac is better than Kobe, the time is never.

    Theres a time when you can say Yao is better than Dwight, the time is never.

    Since you know Dwight has made it past the second round he must be better and more successful duh...
