    I can only wish the Blazers had the chance to get "weak" playoff victories. Since when did the NBA start ranking wins???

    Actually a spot-on comparison.

    Spot On. Zach has really grown up, listening to him speak last night he's really matured. Would take the modern day Z-Bo over the one we had, but atlas you gotta go through failures in life to reach success.

    P.S. anybody who responds to Kingspeeds rants is getting played like a fiddle

    Durant is much better than tmac. He is drexler and grant hill put together

    McGrady never made it past the first round in the playoffs as the team's leader. That's all you need to say to end this debate!:ghoti:

    McGrady never had good teammates. He never had homecourt advantage in the first round. It's not like he was underachieving every year. He was a great player. Much better than Durcan't.

    2007 NBA Playoffs - The Rockets were the 4th seed in the West and lost to the Jazz in 7. The Rockets had HCA in this series.

    2008 NBA Playoffs - The same thin as the 2007 NBA playoffs, The Rockets were the 4th seed in the West and lost to the Jazz in 7. The Rockets had HCA in this series. The only difference was that Yao Ming was out for this series due to an injury.

    And I agree - the T-Mac and Drexler comps fit well. I've always thought he was very "McGrady".

    You are aware that Kingspeed is trolling right?

    Kingspeed has achieved Mixum level on the ability to create trollish threads that will get significant posts. The difference between the two are Erics can be humorous.

    I stand partially corrected. The Rockets had the #5 seed both of those years but had HCA or having the better record. Also, the 2008 team lost in 6 games. Thanks for educating me though.

    One team wins the championship and everyone else fails. The Thunder and Grizzlies, who have no chance of winning the title, are just as big of failures as the Blazers except the Blazers will get a better pick. Suck to be fans of the Grizzlies and Thunder. Horrible teams with no hope of improving.
