T-Mac v LeBron - No Contest

Ok. Just to clear up what those idiots at ESPN are writing.
In the recent game between Cavs and Rockets, they wrote the following in the game recap...

"McGrady outdueled Lebron James, who had 32 points, nine rebounds and five assists but couldn't prevent Cleveland from falling."

Now that would be fine if not for the fact that Lebron shot 13 from 19 field goals including 3 of 7 threes compared to Tracy McGrady's 14 from 29 field goals including 0 of 5 threes. Lebron also had the same number of assists as Tracy and got 4 more rebounds and one less turnover than him so I don't see how they can say that Tracy "outdueled" him. The only thing they could possibly be basing it on is the fact that the Rockets won.

The Rockets winning had more to do with the fact that their second tier players were making shots while the Cavs players weren't. I mean how was Lebron supposed to compensate for his teammates, mainly Damon Jones and Donyell Marshell, combining for 4 from 22 from 3 point range and 20 from 57 field goals. His team shot 35% but he shot 68% and was labelled as outdueled by the ESPN knobheads.

If his teammates had have shot half decent they would have won. Would they still say he was outduelled by T-Mac then.

Anyway, not really important but it just pisses me off when these idiot sports writers can't get the most simple facts right when that is all they are paid to do.

Oh yeah, one more thing. T-Mac is a good player but he's an absolute fuckwit. Him and Kobe are pretty much on even par for being the biggest fuckwits in the league. Neither of them know the meaning of the word humble and neither of them ever give credit to the opposing players when they lose.
