I know many of you will disagree with me but last nights win was a prime example of why McGrady isnt a dependable star player. With the Rockets up by only a few points and the ball in their possession McGrady gets bumped hard by Kirolinko(sp) away from the ball. It being a very very crucial possession you would think he would play on and get open. Instead he tries to run the other guy over blatently in from of the ref. Let his emotions get the best of him and gets offensive foul. On ensuing Jazz possession McGrady leaves his man wide open while getting lost under the basket and gives Jazz UNCONTESTED layup. Then next Rockets possession he gets ball and drives on a wild, ill advised, drive to the basket and is fouled. What does he do?? Miss one of the free throws!!!! That was just one 3 possession sequence of events with less than 2 minutes left in the game at a crucial time when the Jazz are making a push. This is repeated time after time, whether its going cold in the 4th when needed most, or losing his temper and committing stupid fouls. Then he gives a smart a ss interview afetr he game like he shouldnt be bothered about talking to reporters. Hell, he shouldnt have even been the one interviewed. The player who blocked that last shot by the Jazz should have been.(I cant recall who it was right now) I guess my whole point of this post is to see what you real fans think. McGrady can be spectacular but at the same time it seems like he is always a liability in the last quarter in the playoffs.
