Why do ppl think TMAC won't play??

[Sean Cagney]

I get the feeling that we'll end up playing houston instead of LA lol. Storyline" Tmac finally makes it out the first round against houston rather than with them". Hopefully he doesn't bring the first round curse of losing with him(fingers crossed).

Some will point to that, but the bottom line is if we don't make it out of round one it is more due to injuries and the way they have been playing the last few weeks, T Mac will have little to do with it, it will just be coincidence.

Van Exel had a full season with the team. Completely different story.

I expect T-Mac to get Jack's minutes (5-10 off the bench behind Kawhi) and then I'm sure Pop will go from there depending on what he sees.

Lets be honest, what does Neal bring that TMac doesnt?

In an ideal world I don't want anyone chucking up shots, but if someones gonna do it as a 'scoring punch' off the bench I think I'd rather see TMac do it than Neal. And TMacs defence can't be much worse.
