Come on, SOMEONE had to say it.....
to think I had FAITH in TMac. What a PATHETIC choke on that rebound. A freaking superstar and he cant hold onto the ball?

The fumble on the rebound on the FT was ridiculous...
I'm not pulling for Houston, but face it, 2 of the key plays were just lucky (or unlucky) breaks. Up by 1, Terry almost loses his dribble twice and both teams play volleyball, only for it to end up in Dirk's hands, then over to Terry and he nails the 3. The Mavs MISS a FT only up by 2 and Howard reaches from behind and knocks the ball loose from Tracy's hands and it goes off Tracy's wrist out of bounds. That's just the way it goes, not necessarily a choke job. It was a close game, back and forth the whole time.
Does the game 2 game winner mean nothing for Tracy?
He won a game, and he gave a game right back today. Thats the TMac I've come to know for the last 5 years.
I agree those were lucky plays. But T-Mac didn't shoot well at the end, Dallas played better defense at the end, and two games in a row Houston has let leads slip away. THAT'S the choke job.
nah... mavs should win this round.. i'd hate to see tmac play in the 2nd round...
WHen you come HOME up 2-0 and you LEAVE home tied 2-2, thats a monster choke no matter what happened.
And dont tell me TMac couldnt have held on to that ball if he had a little more composure. Great players dont take little things for granted in the playoffs. Thats what makes them great.
i agree about the three but the way T Mac keeps the ball far from his body on the rebound while his opponents are behind him cost them the game... and it doesn't only touch his wrist, it touch at least two times his hands... too funny...
very familiar to 93 94 when they choked two home games VS Phoenix but came back to win the series.
so HOU lost?

Yeah, he'll probably cradle it next time.
Who is playing better in the playoffs than McGrady so far?
Who???
Hmm, good question.
Id say Gilbert Arenas.
32 and 39 in consecutive games is pretty damn good.
pretty easy to play with energy when you only play one side of the floor.....
Other thing too is that Dirk's only good shooting game in this series was on Thursday. That says a lot for the Mavs when Terry can shoulder the load this way and the rest of the team can close out.
TMac's stats wont matter if houston loses this series. All people will remember was that they blew a 2-0 lead on the ROAD, and TMac fumbled game 4 off his fingertips.
Mind that he's already blown a 3-1 series lead. 2-0 would just make him the king of tragedy. He cant blame it on his supporting cast anymore.

Great stats SOlid.
Ray Allen has been a stud. He was all by himself last night.
I believe TMac led the 2003 playoffs in scoring average too.....
That loss was on Yao, his offense and defense in the 4th quarter was awful, sure T-Mac wasn't good on offense in the 4th, but he kept houston in the game throughout 3 quarter and he also kept Dirk in check during the 4th quarter.
