    We were all thinking the same... T-Mac take it to the RACK!! I think he got exhausted at the end. His shots were off all night and he pretty much owned when he was penetrating.

    if that's the case, then there is something really wrong with his conditioning/stamina..

    other basketball players go all the finals and still consistently attack the rim

    but tmac and yao now too seem to run out of gas before closign out the 1st round

    The man gave all he had, cant blame him. It was basically the whole team, more or less. A key player like Yao did not step up, he was being out matched by boozer like no other. Our Bench scored 0 at one point, that shows just how much depth our team has. We have no one that can step up at crucial times except Tmac. No play maker or player that can create his own shot except Tmac. This off-season better be worth it, get players like caron butler or lamar odom who have an all around game. pllzzzzz, we need some changes!!!

    i think it was being double teamed and trapped that got him exhausted by the end. he can't go one on five like he used to in his Magic days and that strategy doesn't work either. we needed the other guys to step up, but they didn't.

    is it better to jack up shots when they're not there and you've been double teamed and trapped throughout the game? you don't pass to your teammates and you're called a hog. you do pass and now you're not assertive.

    all this stuff about superstars step it up in the last moments is seeming more and more ridiculous. Wade out of the playoffs. Kobe out of the playoffs. Garnett not even in the playoffs. all players even the superstars come up short. did you see kobe in the series finale against phoenix? do you think he played better than T-Mac in game 7 versus the Jazz? If you T-Mac didn't step up then Kobe didn't even show up.

    I guess it has something to do with the fact that he had been resting the whole summer last year. Remember how he ballooned up? He did not develop his stamina, conditioning and basically everything. That's why he is so inconsistant this season. In YAO's case, it's the injury that ruined everything for him according to a report I read, which stated that he would not be fully recovered this season.

    Count me in the disappointed club. Did yall know that Tmac scored 9 pts in the 4th quarter. He scored his 7th point with 6:09 left in the game. He didn't score again until it was 9 seconds left in the game. That's six minutes without scoring in a crucial game 7. How can this be from a superstar. This series was definitely winnable, but our superstar choke. We all knew before the playoffs started that the supporting cast wasn't all that good, but it was still enough to get the job done. Do yall think Tmac brought his best game? My answer no. That's the reason the Rocket's lost the series.
