We Reminisce: Tracy McGrady scores 13 points in 33 seconds
Dec. 9, 2004, the Spurs were up by 10 in the final minute, headed to just another national TV win in Houston when two things happened: San Antonio totally fell apart and Tracy McGrady turned into The Terminator. In the final 33 seconds, T-Mac scored 13 points on four three-pointers and a free throw. Before T-Mac’s show, check out Manu Ginobili getting the dunce cap from Gregg Popovich.

It’s not like San Antonio TOTALLY blew it…they made all their free throws, and just had a couple of turnovers. It’s more a witness of T-Mac’s incredible abilities (when focused) than an indictment of their play.
BTW, does anybody have the adidas commercial this inspired where he sprouts wings and is on fire, etc?

Perfect reason why fans should stay the entire 48 minutes of the ball game. You never know what might happen.

no, in the playoffs he needs teammates to score along with him. If you remember, he dropped 40 in the playoffs but no one outside of battier broke double digits. Check the bookz, his playoff stats are usually always better than regular season, his teammates just dont show up.
@gerald
ya i remember, that was for the tmac 5’s i think.

LOL @ post 11
Tracy actually has played well in the playoffs. If he doesn’t get another creator on the team he will have a hard time carrying the load long-term…He isn’t built for it…Few are.

I was @ this game, but left early because I thought the game was over. I got a call while I was on the freeway heading home “Tmac just went crazy & won the game!”

No, seriously. Why?
Devin Brown had that “damn, did that just happen?” face.
