John Denton of the Florida Today reports: A day after his Magic were pushed to the brink of elimination,Tracy McGrady boldly guaranteed that Orlando would win Tuesday's Game 4 and force a return to Charlotte for a Game 5. McGrady also stressed that despite Davis' magnificent triple-double performance on Saturday, he was indeed the best player on the floor.
"Oh, I am. No question," McGrady said with a playful smile and his usual confident swagger. "He's not the best player. You look at Baron's team and look at my team, then you understand that he has a lot more help. He has guys who can score, guys who can rebound on a nightly basis.

"Our guys are kind of inconsistent and we're always searching for guys to come in and rebound. All the focus and attention really isn't on him. With their defense, all the focus is on shutting me down."

Despite the dire circumstances the Magic are in, McGrady feels his Magic can rally to win the next two games and ultimately the series. The basis for his argument is that the series has been so close throughout. Each of the past two games have gone to overtime and Game 1 was decided by one point.

"Yeah, I'm going to guarantee it," McGrady said. "I don't want to go on vacation right now. So I have to guarantee that there's going to be a Game 5."

"I'm not running from anything," McGrady added. "I'm not afraid of anything."

Added McGrady: "I'm trying to carry the load, and it's not easy doing it by myself. I need some help and these are the guys on my team and they're the ones who have to help me."
