TMAC curse dead. He gets out of round 1

[DPG21920]

Yes, phyzic.

[Sobe_Kucks]

That curse died in 2009...Despite McGrady being on injured reserve, the Rockets beat the Trail Blazers 4–2 in the first round of the playoffs to advance to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 1997. The Rockets would compete in a memorable series against the eventual NBA champion LA Lakers, before losing Game 7 in LA. Since McGrady was on the Rockets' roster during the 2009 NBA Playoffs, he officially advanced past the first round of the playoffs for the first time in his career.

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Now we have to take the T-Mac 2nd Round Virgin Movie poster down.

lol he was in the game for 5 minutes. He went in, made a couple of nice passes in the post. Missed an open jumper, but it was a rhythm shot. And he had a couple of bad plays, but that happens when you're the only one on the floor who's been a couch potato for the past two months. Give me a break, he played fine and will be an asset to the team if/when used.

I hope T-Mac stays through the playoffs and hopefully enough to see the Spurs in full contention for a long time in the post-season. And I also hope that he stays through training camp and re-invents himself as a point forward who can translate the complicated Spurs plays as a decent SF/PF backup on a veteran's contract next season. I do believe he will be a great backup to Leonard and could be a cog in yet another "contention run".

[Floyd Pacquiao]

For the 5 min he played he ran the pick n roll well tbh. Court vision still looks good just should of looked for his shot a lil more imo

[Kidd K]

I never get tired of your sig, phyzik

Rofl. . .I didn't notice on the first glance, but Tim Duncan is giggling his ass off at Dwight Coward's frustration of getting dominated. . .again.

[Stabula]

Did he your sister or something? Tracy McGrady could be retired and living on a beach somewhere lighting up with $100 bills but he went and played basketball in China, and played well enough that Gregg Popovich asked him to join the team. It's not like he begged to join the Spurs, or was traded here on luck, and I'm sure he realizes that no matter what the Spurs do this year, his legacy will largely remain the same.

Totally irrelevant. He played for a minute or two and didn't contribute. The point of the thread is that T-Mac made it out of the first round but really he didn't. The Spurs made it out of the first round and T-Mac was just kind of there, enjoying the ride.

[Stabula]

lmao, calm down asshole

Okay?

[Stabula]

I don't understand you guys. Why be a fan of a team you have absolutely no confidence in? The most idiotic thing ever smh

Your logic is unsound. I'm sure Laker fans saw this disaster from a mile away but that doesn't mean they're going to stop being Laker fans just because they didn't have confidence in them this year. Being a fan means you cheer for them through thick and thin and not just sticking around when the goings good. That's what's called a 'fair-weather fan' aka not a real fan.

[therealtruth]

TMac had a nice post up and assist to Baynes. If teams decide to put a bigger guard on TP it's nice to have the ability to post up with a wing player.

[will_spurs]

All Im saying is that he was terrible in this game... if you disagree, you're the moron in this argument.

T-Mac didn't suck half as much as your takes...

[spurraider21]

lol he's probably not going to be on the active roster most nights. he was only active in game 4 because diaw/splitter were ruled out. that said, who else is going to be the odd man out of the 13 man roster? De Colo or Mills?

[Trill Clinton]

Tmac finally did it...

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Totally irrelevant. He played for a minute or two and didn't contribute. The point of the thread is that T-Mac made it out of the first round but really he didn't. The Spurs made it out of the first round and T-Mac was just kind of there, enjoying the ride.

So? What difference does that make?

[TheCerebral1]

He's the last forward off the bench. So of course his curse is broken. He sucks and barely played more than scrap minutes.

[Seventyniner]

And here I was thinking that TMac had picked jersey number 1 because he was always 1 and done...

[z0sa]

The curse died with Houston... and there was never a curse tbh. Unless you call playing with a frail communist a curse.

[dbreiden83080]

He is a Hall of Fame Lock now...

[hyhy]

he played ok just that blair didnt roll many times and poped instead and t-mac doesnt know how to re-start the pick and roll again like tony always does when it fails..

[elec99]

Very classy move on Pop, allowing tmac to kill the curse. I think we all expected pop to make this move if the game was decided.

[Legacy]

Congratulations to our very own potato couch, Tracy McGrady aka "T-Mac"!! You are no longer a second-round virgin!!!

[heyheymymy]

people gotta realize too that is not just his on the court impact were looking for, he is showing kawhi some moves and giving advice and weve seen kawhi more aggressive since the clip released of the two working on shots in the practice facility

[TrainOfThought5]

It was garbage time, he got a steal and deflected another ball on D, looked somewhat mobile, passing was decent. What more do you expect from our 15th man? He's better than every perimeter guy the Lakers put out there tonight.
