there are so many game 7 on that year's playoffs...even the potential championship caliber dallas has been destroyed by spurs.

vs Pistons it was in 2003 which is the peak year of T-Mac's career. Everyone knew he was gonna channel young-MJ in that series. He did it in the first 2 games(back to back 40 point effort). Lost Game 2 because everybody other than T-Mac managed only 31 points compared to his 46! Won next 2 in Orlando. Mac started talking shit("It feels good to be out of the 1st round..", "I'm preparing for the next opponent.." etc). Blown out in Game 5. Lost Game 6, 7. T-Mac says "Better team won". 4-3

vs Jazz they had the homecourt advantage which was the first ever for T-Mac and first for Rockets in 10 years. Barely won the first 2 games before getting whipped in the next 2 games in Utah. Won Game 5(T-Mac was on fire 26pts 16ast). Lost Game 6 and 7(Game 7 meltdown was the most deppressing moment of my NBA fan career). Great "WALL-E" Yao Ming grabbed only 6 boards compared to Boozer's 14! 4-3

vs Dallas they were 4-1 underdogs on most media predictions before the series but suddenly they won first 2 games on the ROAD(2nd in a dramatic fashion as T-Mac swishes game winner). They lost next 3 games(Including game 3 when dallas went on 20-0 in 4th qtr to win the game). Also got shellacked in Game 7(40 point blowout). 4-3

Yup to sad:(

the beggining of the end =(

Sad but true. Orlando should be happy that they lost 4-3 with such a roster. Almost like Hawks vs Celtics not so long time ago. T-Mac, Gooden, Armstrong, they were okay but the rest...

I don't know which one is the saddest.. vs Dallas, vs Jazz, vs Pistons, vs Jazz again.. Damn it. I can't stand it. :-(
