Alas, Poor T-Mac...I Knew Him, Horatio!
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who will never, ever forget McGrady's greatness in defeat. He's kind of like a 21st century Dominique Wilkins, if 'Nique had never made it out of the first round. When he's not praising T-Mac, he's probably making fun of him at Basketbawful. Enjoy!
He was the greatest player to never...well, you know. It seems kind of wrong to already be writing Tracy McGrady's eulogy. After all, the Rockets — thanks to last night's 90-84 home loss to the Jazz — are down only two games to none in their first-round, best-of-seven series. They could totally come back. All they have to do is win at least two games in Utah, where the Jazz were nearly unstoppable (37-4) during the regular season. That's all. [Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! Danger!]

The Sad Tale Of Tracy McGrady
We were pleased to see former Illini Deron Williams and Dee Brown advance to the Western Conference semifinals with the Jazz's win over the Rockets on Saturday night, but it brought us no joy to see the likable and seemingly doomed Tracy McGrady fail once again to push his team out of the first round.

The Houston Rockets Are Buried In Sadness
Tracy McGrady assumed full responsibility for the outcome before Houston's series against Utah, then went out in Game 7 and did the Yeoman's work and still came up short. Then, in the postgame press conference, he couldn't run from the responsibility and ended up walking away in tears (thanks to TheHype at the FanHouse for the video). More »

Look, There Was Another Game On Thursday Night
Lest we forget, in all the Warriors hub-bub, that another series took a fun turn last night, with the Jazz tying the Rockets 3-3 with a 94-82 win in Utah. The key Jazz star was Andrei Kirilenko, who shined late despite, you know, crying like a little girl earlier this series because he wasn't getting enough playing time. We could have done without this quote, though. More »

Tracy McGrady Lets His Boys Breathe

Tracy McGrady Has His Alpha Dog Night
In the last three days, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard and, uh, Antawn Jamison have been swept out of the playoffs, and Kobe Bryant, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson don't seem too far behind. (And don't get us started on Dirk.) The superstars are off to slow playoff starts, so it's encouraging to see Tracy McGrady taking charge and finally stepping up as that next-level superstar we've been waiting for. More »
