Thats ironic. Lebron scores 48 and everone wants to rub their nuts on that. But back when Tmac was up against the Pistons, he had a pair of those, yet no one made a big deal out of that at the time. But then he did f'd it up after taking a 3-1 lead on them by saying one of the most r****ded statements in history
Yea it sucked but at least all 8 teams were .500 teams. And nobody wants to talk about T-Mac's teammates being 300lb Shawn Kemp, Patrick "Rusty Joints" Ewing, Jerryl Sasser(who??), Andrew DeClerq, and Jacque Vaughn. They traded Mike Miller for Gordan Giricek and Drew Gooden(who was dumber than he is now). At least Lebron has a capable All-Star(Big Z) and very respectable shooters(Wally, Gibson, West) around him. Add that to reliable scoring and hustle off the bench (Smith, Varejao) and here's a team that can make a deep playoff run. Of course this team won't even sniff .500 in the West but I blame their mediocre record on mediocre coaching.
I believe that comment was made by Steven A., he always gives a lot of credit to TMAC and doesn't bash him for not getting passed the 1st round. But there are the other ones who don't even watch the games that do bash Mac.
I think Tracy is bound to get more criticism than lebron because lebron is always in "attack mode" and consistently brings it every night... His work ethic is praised much more around the league than Mcgrady and ppl in the league take notice to things like this..Mcgrady has opened himself also to much of the criticism by opening his big mouth in the pistons- magic series as well as basically coming out and saying in an interview i believe that he pretty much gave up on the team his last season in orlando..Much like what Vince Carter did in Toronto.
In T-Mac's defense this was the year that 1st round series were 7 game series. The previous year was a 5 game series.
Boston just plays smart defense, LeBron really sucks, he can't relay on his jumpers because they are not going in, he even now can't finish around the basket. Boston just makes everything tougher for him, and if you play Cavs you only have to pay attention to LeBron. So far he is 8/42 from the floor against Celtics. Good job !
If any series ends in 4, I think it might be this one, if Lebron does turn put into superman mode. The only reason Atlanta gave the Celtics are alot of trouble, was because of Horford, Smith, and Johnson. Very agile, running type of front line.. very young and can rebound really well. I don't really see alot of those type of teams left in playoffs except the Hornets. I think the best team to beat Boston is probably SA or even the Hornets (if the play the way Atlanta did).
