    McGrady is definitely an MVP, if not THE MVP. We simply can't win without him.

    Let's trade him. He didn't win player of the week enough times this year.

    I wonder if that means it's now Yao's turn to pull a back injury.

    Based on our luck ever since taking the first two games in Dallas in the playoffs two years ago, I'd say yes, it does mean it's about time for spasms to start to occur in Yao.

    Good job TMac, better than Kobe at involving his teammates.

    Yao's averages for the week: 29.3 points, 7 rebounds, 1.6 blocks


    I guess that question of whether they can play well together has finally been answered.

    He deserved it, we've waited so long. Now go and get that final MVP for us, T-Mac, we know you can do it.

    If by final MVP, you mean season MVP, not gonna happen. They already narrowed it down to Dirk or Nash (better be Dirk this time in my opinion).

    If by final MVP, you mean Finals MVP, then hey... why not.

    Damn, Mac and Ming combining for almost 60 points a game last week. That's the kind of production we need out of them in the playoffs.
