    For the 100th time.

    Boozer played out of his mind.

    Williams destroyed Rafer with post ups and on the PNR

    Yao played bad pick and roll defense

    Luther Head stopped making open shots

    The Mad Russian decided to really step up for the first time all season.

    Gricek decided to make some big plays

    Okur was covered by Yao half the time and drained open outside shots b/c Yao had to stay home.

    A frontcourt of Boozer, Okur and AK47 stopped most of our drives to the hoop

    Sloan outcoached JVG

    Rafer didn't play well on either end of the floor

    Juwan Howard was our Power Forward

    Chuck couldn't shoot and had to play big minutes

    We had no bench or depth or anyone that could create their own shot outside of Yao and TMac

    TMac took too many jumpers

    Hayes and Yao had to guard Boozer, who shot that high arcing jumpshot over them all series


    That is why we lost to Utah. Not b/c of Tmac.

    Tonight, we lost to Utah b/c of Tmac

    you dont understand my point... people here still have delusions of grandeur that mcgrady is an untouched god in the playoffs and he has no fault in him being 0-7 in the playoffs

    Really? I remember him hitting a game winner in Dallas? I remember him hitting crucial shots against Detroit/Milwaukee?

    Again i'll repeat - HOW can you blame him for losing in Toronto as a 19 y/o? Losing on the worst team in the league, the Magic (one of the worst teams talent wise in NBA history). Losing to Dallas? The only time he's been favored to win was against Utah last year (not by much) - and he went through games with role players scoring 4 POINTS.

    He's the sole reason ever series he's been in post T-Dot has been pushed to a DECIDING game. Not even JORDAN could of won on some of the teams he's been on.

    It's people like you (who obviously hate McGrady) that are the problem here. HOW can you blame him for those losses? WHAT could he of done in Orlando or Toronto to beat the opposition? What could he of done different in Dallas? Did he shoot his teams out of games? For the majority of those series' THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE he could of done.

    Not when you are double teamed and can't really drive to the hoop with a 7'6 center in the lane where JVG wanted him AND with Okur, AK and Boozer waiting under the basket AND your only other offensive option is Yao, who also gets covered AND you have Hayes out there most of the time who basically lets his man double b/c he can't hit a jump shot

    Sorry, man, but TMac was absolutely not the problem in the Jazz series.

    He was tonight though. I'm sick of seeing that pouting face and ****e attitude

    The role players scoring more than 4 points could of helped also. Yao not shooting 44% and turning the ball over could of helped also. Jesus Christ, some of y'all honestly scare me.

    with coach A and an amazing rotation of hard workers and smart players with mcgrady happening to be the most talented player on the team had us finish with almost a number one record in the west.... people undermine the other players on this team just to boost Mcgrady up into the stratosphere... and they call us realists the fake fans....

    Nah, you're just someone who obviously didn't watch the Mavs or Jazz series. No worries

    Go find a post in this thread that undermines his teammates? You won't find one - it's you guys that started pulling this crap out of nowhere.

    The players are just as good as how mcgrady holds them to be, notice he always gets them open shots and good looks....

    Sure, there was something he didn't do that he possible could, but that is completely beside the point. Mcgrady WAS the reason that we did well against a much better team of Utah, and took them to 7 games. Not Yao, the #1 option, Tmac the #2 option with a horrendus 29/7/6 average and an awful game 7 with 48% shooting 29/16/5/3 in the game 7, which you proclaimed he choked in.....

    not really worth arguing with people who really don't understand the game.
