Similar numbers of guys who lost series in 6 games with HCA. Some would accuse Tmac of having help saying he should have won while Lebron had no help and should have lost when both were favorites to win.

Post the performance of their supporting cast. Then post the performance of the opposition. From there, we can determine whether or not both played well or if they sucked.

Basically same except Cavs had more proven winner.

Looks like they both underachieved that season. Cavs faced a tougher opponent but the Cavs were the 1st seed. The Rockets lost to the 4th seed while they were the 5th seed. I'd say Lebron 'underperformed' more than McGrady did.

Though your 'Cavs had more proven winners' argument is useless if they didn't performing like they did when they were still playing well in the league.

Yeah I agree Boston was a tougher opponent than Utah, the difference though is Cleveland had all of there players, the Rockets were missing Yao and then Rafer was gone the 1st two games.
