Just wrong. TMac has been in plenty "toss up" series as a 4 or 5 seed and pissed away a 3-1 lead as well. Not only that but it's a pretty large indictment of TMac himself as a player that he was so "great" yet his teams were struggling to be top seeds in either conference he was in and not able to advance past the first round.

Wrong again. The year they were in the playoffs he was the second leading scorer on the team and averaged over 30 minutes per game.

And blew a 3-1 series lead.

Ok, so you've just keep coming up with excuses as to why they failed. Bottom line is even guys like Garnett and Kobe were at least getting past the first round with less talent around them. TMac couldn't even manage that.
It's hilarious to see this site turning into TMac jock riders as soon as it's rumored the Bulls are going to sign him and try and make TMac into some victim of bad playoff luck when at the end of the day TMac was a damn good player but lacked the ability to truly lead a team anywhere in the playoffs at all.
