This is where McHale has to use his brain and remember that they're gonna do Hack A Howard. Which means take Howard out later in the fourth when its close and put him back in with 2 minutes left in the 4th.
I always knew TJ could play the 5 given matchups. Same goes with DMo but I'd rather see him in a Dirk type of role which coincidentally is what we crave.
This is what happens when you have a superior talent in your team. Once they wake up and play as a team, its hard to stop them
Harden already taking his foot off the gas pedal IMO, not even seriously contesting that last shot by Young, a little too lackadaisical around the free throw line, just not setting a good example. Glad McHale took him out.
Lakers announcers were criticizing McHale for not playing D-Mo more and Morey looking to trade him. Looks like the view of the situation is more clear on the outside looking in.
I think you're right. I missed a few minutes of the game in the first half, but he looked good on D and rebounded good from what I saw.
