Yao is down. At this point of the season we not only made the playoff and possibly obtain the hc. Can you write out T-mac from our recent success?

Zydrunas, Szcerbiak, and Wallace. None from this year though.

I'd say he's done okay.

nope...its more of his teamates stepping up and coach A being a great coach than Mcgrady being an mvp candidate... Coach A has a better shot at winning the coach of the year award than Mcgrady cracking top 5 in mvp voting.

Give me one reason why a coach would want to double Mcgrady harder than a player like Kobe Bryant or Lebron James, Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett... etc...
im sorry bud, but you are living two years in the past.

If T-Mac went down tomorrow and missed the playoffs we would get swept by who ever we faced. And if T-Mac isnt the reason for our success this reason since Yao went down then who is? rafer?

McGrady has been a disappointment his last couple years. He doesn't have the ability to get by anybody anymore so if his jumpshot isn't working he's useless as a scorer.

That ability has diminished for sure. But we might (well, I'm hoping) see more post-up from T-Mac in the future, ala mature Jordan. With his height and size, he can cause a bit of havoc down low on most opposing 2-guards.
