    ... does tracy mcgrady get the credit of advancing to the second round too??
    even though he didn't play a single post-season game?

    Lock this thread if its already been discussed before.

    NO,

    And it will make it crystal clear HE IS THE REASON his teams could not pass the first round.

    Only if he joined the team on the sidelines and was damn near an assistant coach.

    Let's get back to this topic after we've made it. Long way to go.

    He's still a member of the team. I mean, if the Rockets win a championship, doesn't he get a ring? If so, logically if they get out of the first round he'll have technically done so as well.

    I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be too excited about it, though.

    OH HELL NO!

    Unless he is on the court helping to advance in the play offs he gets no credit what so ever.

    WOW :eek:.

    Pure ignorance. How about these differences:

    1. Yao!
    2. Ron Artest!
    3. Rafer Alston!

    Where does the crystal clear part come in?

    God I realize you hate him, but think before you speak.

    Yes.
    The reason is,
    if the Rox win the championship this year, he'll get his ring.
    so if the Rox get to the 2nd round, he's still part the team

    if we advance to the 2nd round, whenever someone mentions t-mac's playoff career, they'll also mention that he didn't contribute to the rox 08-09 playoff run

    It depends on how you define credit.

    As far as hardware and on paper, yes, he'll get it.

    As far as street cred? None.

    A better question would be:

    If the rockets advanced to the second round...

    ... do the Rockets give Tracy McGrady tickets to come watch those games?

    He won't be on playoff roster, so he won't pass 2nd round even if the team does.

    No, and even if he was playing right now. Critics would still make the excuse saying he was carried by Yao Ming and Ron Artest.

    He won't get any credit for it, I'll tell you that.
