It's On You, Tracy McGrady? Then It's On You

Just as a reminder ...



It's Game 7. It's in your gym. You have never been out of the first round in the playoffs. You did not play well in Game 6. Yao has not been dominant in this series. Your team needs you to win this game for them.

You want it on your shoulders? It's on your shoulders.

Games like this are what make the playoffs great. It's not just Houston vs. Utah for the right to advance, it's Tracy McGrady's opportunity to transform himself from a character worthy of pity to a man who can put a team on his back.

There will be no excuses. Utah is beatable, and McGrady has showed the ability to be dominant against them. It really all or nothing, because this is either going to happen or it's not. If it does, it will be because Tracy McGrady finally became who he's supposed to be. If it doesn't, it will be because Tracy McGrady is not who he's supposed to be.

There's no middle ground. He wanted it that way, and that's the way it will be on Saturday night.
