Tracy McGrady, a better analyst than post-season player....

Quote:
Tracy McGrady said he knew they were bound to struggle. ... 'It's what I expected,' McGrady said ... 'You've got two guys (James and Wade) that really don't mix. I mean, they're the same type of player. They just don't complement each other.' ... McGrady compared the Heat's three main players to Boston's threesome of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. 'If you look at Boston's big three, they're traditional guys,' McGrady said. 'You've got a true shooting guard, you have a true small forward and you have a true power forward. You've got a shooting guard that doesn't need the ball. In their case, both of those guys need the ball. They're not great outside shooters, so they just can't stand out there and wait for one to pass the ball and knock down an open shot. That's just not their game. They've got to have the ball to make plays and catch a rhythm that way.'
That's about as good of a take as any, imo.
