He’s lead the league in scoring twice and he’s a 7-time All-Star but he made a huge boo boo when he was on the verge of escaping the first round for the first time. In ‘01 as a member of the Magic, McGrady declared the series over when Orlando took a 3-1 lead on Detroit. It was over… in 7 as the Pistons came back and made The Mac eat his words. His career numbers make his playoff fates astonishing (0 for 7 in the first round). It would be bittersweet for him if the Rockets advance, but it would be a great thing for Yao - another guy yet to see the 2nd round. Tracy McGrady joined 790 The Zone to discuss how determined he is to come back, his pick for the finals, and the most difficult player to guard.
On his drive to recover:
“Man, you have no idea, ’cause I was just talking to my man today. I’m foaming out the mouth right now, I’m tellin’ ya. I’m foaming right now. I’ve been hurting for two years but I’m on it right now, I’m grinding. And, you know, I’m just ready. I’m gonna get there. All’s I need for my knee to respond like I want to and the rest gonna take care of itself. I proved I can play in this league, I just gotta stay healthy and that’s what I’m pushing to do.”
His pick for the title:
“Lakers. (Host: That easy, again?) It’s no knock on Cleveland, I think Cleveland’s gonna get there… Cleveland to me is really not that good. If you take what the Celtics did last year… You knew, they were either gonna get to the finals, or they were gonna win it. You can’t really say the same thing about the Cavaliers. Although, they had the best record in the league this year, a lot of people like, ‘Okay, they havin’ a great year, but we don’t know if they can win the championship.’ They really didn’t do anything on the road with the elite teams in the league, they lost, they had a bad record when they went to face the elite teams in the league. I think they’re a good team, but I don’t they’re ready to take the next step.”
The toughest player to stop:
“No doubt. Kobe. No doubt. The man is just a fierce competitor, he tries to rip your heart out no matter who he plays night in and night out. ‘Bron is one of them guys, he gets buckets, but he also is an unselfish player. Kobe? Nah. He trying to take your heart. He gonna get it. And, he’s gonna shoot 30 or 35 times to get it.”

fuck TMAc i cant wait until Rockets get rid of his ass
-
I find it humorous that he picked the Lakers to win it all over his own team.
I appreciate T-Mac's confidence in the Lakers, I'm a bit hesitant to embrace his support though. The dude is like the #1 jinx of the decade.

what a moron

Haha Hope he's right on that one

T-Mac knows whatsup.

But him saying Cleveland is not that good :o :loco: Well they did get the best record, they can get past the 1st round & McGrady can't. Players should not be forced to talk to the media. Not just because the media is evil, but the players say the stupidest things.
-
what a douche
-
last year McGrady said the 2007-08 Celtics were the best defense he's ever seen
dude knows what he's talking about

Most of what he said was true

they must have him on some serious meds...

Good job of not picking his own team to win. I think it would be very entertaining if they took the whole thing without him, especially after he said this. I usually like people speaking their minds, but he should have picked his own team.

hating on LeBron? ???
i mean, he can pick the Lakers to win; but why mention Cleveland isnt good (to him)?

Keep in mind it was a full interview, not just the comments that the site posted. I'm sure they wanted details as to why he thought Lakers were the favorites and not Cleveland, and he just voiced his honest opinion.

My love and loyalty for the Pacers>>>>>>>> your love and loyalty for the Lakers

You agreed with a comment that said the Cavs aren't very good. Either you are a hater in denial or a moron. This is like me saying I don't think the Lakers are very good this year, what is the difference? THINK before you type son.

And that's what he is to anyone with half a brain.
And it just sunk in that his name's Tracy...lol.

first of all, drop my steez. instantly. thanks. second of all, it's not a matter of the Cavs not being good. they're a good team, no doubt, they're just not as good as everyone thinks and i will eat my words if i'm proven wrong. but will you if you are?

I never said the Cavs will win it all! There is no doubt in my mind that the Lakers will win a title this year, if they dont they should be ashamed of themselves. To say that the Cavs arent good is plain absurd though. NIK it doesnt matter that I dont live in Indiana, I get league pass every year to watch every single Pacer game and I am 25 right now and I have been a diehard Pacer fan since I was 8 years old. I am as legit as they come

I have a question that I was about to ask yall, I figured I mite as well ask it in this thread...
Do you think T-Mac is actually rooting AGAINST the Rockets (subconsciously or not) in this series? After seeing him put his faith in Lakers, I'm starting to think he has to be well-aware about the fact that Rockets advancing for the first time in the one post-season he's gone is going to be even more damaging to his already damaged reputation.

Yes I bet you deep down he is rooting for Houston to lose, that is the type of person he is.

+1
ive been saying it all this time...

You cant just look at stats with Ron Ron. He is hands down the best perimeter defender in the league, that cant be debated, its not even close as he is head and shoulders above the rest in that department. He can honestly play all 5 positions at any time of the game, including defending every position whether it is the pg or c. Yes his offensive game is awkward but who cares, he can score regardless. The guy is a hustle maniac, he just makes everyone around him better.
Props to Artest for the amazing job he has done this year with Houston!! Fuck off Mcgrady, Artest>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>T-Wack
-
also he has greatly improved as a player
his stats go up every year and he seems way more mature and more of team type player now
when you think he would go crazy and start fights and stuff he actually stops them and he is well behaved

you dont believe me?

LOL forreal thats gonna be an awkward moment for T-Mac, although he's had plenty of awkward moments in his life time
Orlando up 3-1 to Detroit.
T-Mac: It just feels good to finally be out of the first round.
*Orlando goes on to choke the series away and Detroit advances*
Houston (the heavy favorites) up 2-0 to Utah, with the Home Court advantage and knowledge that Jazz had the worst road record in the league
T-Mac: If we don't make it out the first round, IT'S ON ME.
*Houston goes on to choke the series away and Utah advances*
T-Mac: ... well... y'know... my teammates have to do a better job getting involved and.... uh... *hangs head in shame and walks away*

^ Lol what a shitty career....it's a shame cause dude's talent was through the roof.
