After enduring the umpteen-millionth criticism for his teams' fourth quarter collapses and his many and sordid playoff failures, Tracy McGrady has officially admitted what we all already knew: He's to blame.
"It's my fault. It's my fault we missed free throws. It's my fault we lost both games. Blame me. It's my fault we fouled to tie the game up. That's my fault. It's my fault they get easy layups. It's my fault we're not executing well on the offensive end. It's my fault a couple people in the stands ordered Heinekens and they got Budweiser. It's my fault. I'm sorry."
T-Mac can't be serious....can he?
"I am serious. It's my fault. Everything is my fault. It's my fault. It's T-Mac's fault. Everybody's blaming me. The Suns (for being down 2-0 to the Spurs). I mean, everybody. That's what it seems like. It's my fault. I'm out there by myself."
But, but, but...wouldn't things be totally different if Rafer Alston and Yao Ming hadn't gotten hurt?
"That's another one of my faults: That Rafer got hurt and Yao got hurt. It's my fault. I'm sorry."
Wow. Well, apology accepted. For the record, we're all sorry for you too, Tracy. And two games from now, we'll be really sorry for you.

And wtf.
He's also play-off cancer. His teammates can just give up in the playoffs, let him take over, then get disappointed in the first round, again. He's like some kind of lazy-eyed Michael Jordan.
Except he won't ever win a championship......or become the greatest basketball player of all time. Sorry, T-Mac.

It's T-Mac's fault I have a canker sore. It's also his fault that I'm so pessimistic and cynical.
Screw you, T-Mac.
that's the spirit of a quiter, i think... and if i think this way, it must be t-mac's fault to!
it seems that mister fault for everything isn't all that powerfull!
maybe we should blame this one on stern's button! i don't know, not watching the game...
So quit hatin' on him. T-Mac's awesome
Uh, not based on what I see.

Sure he brings the Rockets close, but almost bricks the game at the end as well.
It was Landry's drawn foul that gave the Rockets 93-86 lead (opposed to 92-86), Tracy's screwup offensive foul allowing the Jazz to 93-92 (opposed to 92-92), and Landry's block that saved the lead for the win (no OT).
It's annoying that most media members just blindly give McGrady a free pass, other than maybe Tony K on PTI. That's "why y'all hatin' on T-mac so much", because at some point 7 first round exits has to mean something.
tmac is just a real life exhibition of learned helplessness. I think its gotten to the point where we have to recognise tmac as the bizarro kobe...
Actually, and I'm getting quite annoyed at this, the Hand-Waving-Infront-Of-The-Face gesture is "You Can't See Me" started by one John Cena of WWE and The Marine fame. He started using it as part of his gimmick about two, two and a half years ago now. Those announcers were actually spot on. Everyone else who thinks that it means that he can't feel his face or he's cooling off his hot hand is just plain wrong.
making fun of someone's sarcastic comments is hating?
I guess that means anyone making fun at anyone's expense is hating
all comedians are hating?
people just need to lighten up and the world would be a lot friendlier
