Why? You act as if this will be the best chance he'll have ever had... If anything, this is going to be one of the most difficult. The West is better than ever, and Tracy is going into the playoffs down one big gun... If Yao were healthy, I'd agree with you. But without the big man, the Rockets are simply shorthanded and not as talented as most of the teams in the Western Conference playoff picture...Originally Posted by Nowitness41Dirk
Horry rode great players' coattails to championships, and he's had a better, more accomplished career than McGrady... STOP IT.
This is the most asinine, illogical argument I've ever read on this board.He better win the first round this year.
And everyone knows I'm not a big Tracy McGrady supporter. But Corey Maggette, Pau Gasol and Robert Horry? Good lord.
Maaaaaan, the list is growing. I DID NOT INCLUDE GASOL. Buc is the one that mentioned Horry, I elaborated from there. I made one off hand comment withMagette. And in a few hours the list will be everyone in the NBA past present and future.
As for Horry, you just made a worse statement then I ever did. Rode greatplayers coattails? Sure, he's played with the best. Shaq help him that shot vs Sac? Or the one that beat Portland. Or Duncan help him hit the shot tobeat Det? Or Dream help the shot go in the hole against Orld? No, no, no, and no. While they carried him there and contributed greatly of course, in theplayoffs, in crunch time, Robert Horry stepped up more than any player in NBA playoff history not named Mike or Reggie. Horry's buzzer beaters, clutchthree's, clutch moments could fill an entire wing in the hall of fame. So of course he won due to other great players, but as I said earlier, hedidn't just show up for the parade. He helped those SAME great players, get THEIR rings. ya dig?
