That's not saying much.. considering the team had to "grind out" both winsat home.. Here's a clearer reality check.. Rocket's home court game 1= 9pt win on 39% shooting (Utah 36% shooting) Utah's home court game 3= 14pt win on 38% shooting (Houston 32% shooting) Rocket's home court game 2 = 8pt win on 36% shooting (Utah 45% shooting) Utah's home court game 4 = 13pt win on 46% shooting (Houston 42% shooting) I'm sure most of us predicted this series going the full 7 games.. But, I'm even more sure we all expected the numbers to be.. the other way around..
Huh? Yao didn't play much better than TMac in this series. I guess you just have higher expectations for TMac than for Yao.
Tmac isn't doing better than any of them, I didn't imply that. Although I might agree that some of the players on that list might show some more drive and desire to win the game, I don't think most of them can really change the direction of the game had they been on this team (DWade, Lebron, Melo, Carter, Deng). I like Kobe's chances because he's a proven leader and can take over games, or more like forces to take over. I also said I like Billup's chances here because.. well lets face it, anything is better than a Rafer right now. Lebron, I think, is still not quite there yet if he's given Tmac's burden on this team. Yes I know he pretty much carried his team on his shoulders for the Cavs since entering the league, but I think the Jazz would shut him down too. Same goes for Deng. I think he's still more of a role player than a #1 like Tmac is supposed to be. He'll be paralyzed if he were in Tmac's position. I hope you're kidding. Yao has been more of a force collectively in the playoffs than Tmac. Yao is still on the rise while Tmac seems to be on his decline.
Tmac has said too much...I'm not sure if the team can recover from his Barkleyitis... I'm hoping we will...and when we do, Tmac learning a lesson.
T-mac just wants to prove that it's on him thus he shows how his softy can lead the team to hell!! Yeah he has really proved it well!! It's absolutely on him!!!

Inspector Gadget! Didn't T-Mac look a little like Inspector Gadget tonight? Anybody have a picture of that news conference?
if you blame Jazz' clogging the lane the reason T-Mac doesn't drive you either hadn't watch the Rockets game all year long or you don'd understand the game. and T-Mac's supposly the "ATHLETE" you want. please, T-Mac's jumpers our best option? wtf check his %. and you wonder what's wrong with Yao's post move? Yao's a much better post player than his early years, our role players can't get the ball in Yao's hands that's the problem!
How can you expect Tmac to contribute on the defensive end when he did not put any effort to defend even Harpring.
