I'm worried how this might affect Tmac's self-confidence

    After going 0-6 in first round playoffs in his career, I'm a little worried how this might affect him mentally. It has been mentioned before (although I'm not sure if the source was reliable or if it's true) that Tmac does have a fragile personality...I hope this doesn't affect him in the long run.

    For people with a strong mental edge like Bird, Jordan whenever they fail, they always come back the next season stronger and with more to prove. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Tmac but I do hope he comes back stronger and more mentally sharp to handle the devastation of another year of failing to get past the first round. He do believe he did all he could in the final game, but just came up short. I hope he doesn't give up, he tries harder in the summer to improve his game. I hope the organisation and Les in particular spends the offseason evaluating talent and spending whatever it takes to get this team from being a good team to an elite team.

    I'd hate it if Tmac ends up having a fruitless career with meaningless individual stats. I hope he doesn't end up like a KG or Dominique - great players who had their legacies suffer because of playoff failures.

    I'm so disappointed now after so many years of following this team...the window of opportunity in the NBA is so small. Look at Tmac's back..I hope it holds up for another few seasons (not to mention his mentality).

    Let's stay positive and hope the management and organisation does what it's supposed to do!! GET SOME REAL PLAYERS to help our stars out!!!

    As the years went by, Jordan portrayed a more and more humble persona. I really think ego hurts T-mac's perception and performances.
