    Juwan Howard also made a living playing off of Mcgrady. The guys just never had the support he needed.

    He has it now, and you will see what a difference itll make...In all the games Tracy appeared to be healthy in this season, he has dominated. His assists are up, his rebounds are up, shooting numbers are up, turnovers down.

    Nice read but I don't agree you should look at postseason success. McGrady was underdog most of the time, he was once in a favored position and that was two years ago. He's riding that monkey on the back but Ginobili has more luck, with health and postseason and because he's favored because Tim Duncan and Tony Parker.

    T-Mac is a leader and the best player on one team. Manu isn't...

    I don't say Manu is worse or better but McGrady has bigger role and had always in career.

    If you measure player on postseason then Clutch City hero Robert Horry would win in a landslide over anyone in the league.

    Take over? he hasnt taken over in years....you make me chuckle!
    All this PER talk is confusing me since Manu is ranked higher in this PER thing on ESPN, much higher.

    he didn't mean just scoring. tracy would have found some other ways to dominate (i.e. get 7-8 assists). manu was a non-factor throughout a whole game.

    tracy can shoot 33%, but you'd be sure he'll try to impact the game with his playmaking. that's where the difference lies.

    Tmac=A whining b**** at time. No heart at time. Think too highly of himself and think he doesn't have anything else to prove.

    Even though Tmac is more talented than Ginobli. At least Ginobli go out and play his heart out while Tmac highly thinking of himself he doesn't need to prove to anyone because he already score 60pts so his doesn't care attitude is a dicease to this team.

    T-Mac's career playoff performances tell you to STFU!

    Nothing makes me chuckle more than saying Tmac doesn't care. He has a lazy eye, GET OVER IT! Watch those playoff performances and tell me he doesn't care. You couldn't give half the effort he gave trying to carry that team.

    Never made it out of the first round. Disappearing at in game 7 when it most count.

    Team chemistry are build during the season. NOT just showing up in the PO and flashing your STATS at your teammates mean much.

    but, ( i think thats the game), he(tmac) just got back from injury, so he need time to adjust, if u look at the first game that manui return from injury, its almost the same.

    Game 7 2005: .385 FG% (admitedly low) 7 Reb 7 AST 29 points (what I like is that other than Yao, the rest of the team scored 16 points...)
    Game 7 2007: .480 FG% 5 Reb 13 AST 29 points
    Game 6 2008: .500 FG% 10 Reb 5 AST 40 points

    I would say I wish he drove to the basket more, absolutely. But saying he's a loser who "dissapears" is asanine and r****ded.

    Oh, and he only shows up in the playoffs? Have you seen the rosters on the 2005 team? How about carrying the team to 20-12 without Yao in 2007. Or carrying the team to top four seed last year without Yao for a third of the year. Without him none of that happens.

    So once again, Tracy McGrady says STFU.

    disappearing? look at all his state and rewatch the game, and then come here and tell me if he disappear or not...last year, without yao, when we were down 3-1 tmac was able to put up 40 i think or up in the 30s.Also if you look at all the game 7 state and how he play, tmac is amazing.

    actually not. That was his second game. In his first game he almost had a triple double and would have if anybody could have hit a jumper in the last 5 minutes. The Clippers game was just bad. However if someone poitns to just one game coming back from an injury and says he'll never be back, that person is an idiot.

    Blah blah blah about the PO performances. How about trying in the regular season. That way he just might get out of the first round. A higher standing in the conference will mean a better chance of facing a less tough apponents.

    Did T-Mac not lead us into the playoffs with Yao Ming out with major injuries the past two seasons? He was doing everything out there.
