    As I said, he's out of gas...completely out of gas. It was clear heading into the fourth. He did too much too early. He's never been a great 'stamina' guy in his entire tenure with the Rockets.

    Blame it on him if you want, I know better...

    We are just simply not good enough, that's it. Outside of Tmac, all others are just role players... In playoffs, they fade

    forgive me for being cynical, but the rockets will be swept.

    i'm looking forward to DM's second offseason. lets hope it's as good as the last.

    McGrady + BJax putting up wild shots down the stretch = fail

    Pretty simple. No picks for McGrady up top, no interior defense to stop Williams and Boozer.

    Anyone who puts this game on McGrady is a damn fool. Unbelievable "fans". If you knew anything about basketball, you would know how difficult it is to drive when you have a good defender on you and a second defender waiting for you at all times.

    it's pretty pathetic when layups and free throws are your achilles heel.

    Time to bring in Brooks and BJax
    to work the ball . . .
    give T-max some time to rest and just get his
    legs back for a few moments

    need to put in the BEST Offensive team we have

    yeah, because driving to the rim is less tiring than jacking up a 3....

    That's it? the game, the series, and TMAC has to take that 'never out of first round' for at least one more year?

    How about because it's a better shot than Bobby Jackson shotting a 3 with deron williams all in his face. Don't blame McGrady for this one.

    this is r****ded. if you cant make your free throws you cant win in the nba, regular season, preseason, or playoffs. if they play like this, they can easily get swept.

    McGrady is the only one playing.

    Dikembe, Hayes, Battier......
