[ESPN] Support for Kevin McHale remains strong within the organization

These are the things they say and the reports you hear before they sack you.

 

we're doomed.

 

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, yeah sure.

 

Honestly it doesn't matter which coach we have. At the end of the day the players play the game. Dwight and Harden don't strike me as the most coachable people either. Harden hasn't had issues with his coaches, but Howard has.

 

I don't know why people are rating this thread since this just informational.

I believe the Lin fans don't like that word "mcHale" or any words that aren't 3 letters

 

McFail failed in game #1 by letting Harden shoot 3 when they're down by 1pt with 40secs. What kind of coach would do that?? When you have the best player in the league in Harden at drawing foul...why wouldn't you tell your superstar to attack the basket especially when the other team is in foul trouble? Why would you even entertain shooting 3?? What kind of ****in coaching is that?? That's not coaching...that's stupid. And when Harden never go to the line ONCE in the 1st Half of game #1....what kind of coaching is that?? Bullshyt. And why would you never even attempt to double team Aldridge AT ALL? OR fake double teaming or do something. How about zone defense?? Ever heard of that term? Bottom line is this coach is pathetic at coaching strategy. Did you see the Portland player attacking the basket when they're only down by 1pt?? They knew it's easy to draw foul and get to the line than shooting where the probably of a shot going in is not as great as getting free throws. Coaching is the reason we suck and failed to live up to our potential. McFail need to go~!! I dont' care how much the players like him.

 

All we need to do is hire a defensive coordinator. The Thibs to our Doc Rivers. The Nate McMillan to our Frank Vogul. CLEARLY coach McHale does not know defensive adjustments.

 

Barf.

 

McHale may have to play to keep his job.

 

I kind of believe it...we all know Parsons has a great relationship with him and Howard probably does too. Les is also very stubborn at times, so i could see him wanting McHale too...and this is a young team, so there's that...


However, i'm always puzzled by the thought of them "growing together"....Howard isn't young by NBA standards. The team needs to grow up quickly around him, there's no time to just let things develop at their own pace.

 

Bye Kevin, not missed.

Of course they say that, what else would they say.

 

Exactly, never a good sign.

 

Feels like political propaganda

 

Did I miss the part where he admitted that he instructed Harden to shoot the three and not drive on that play?

Lots of legit things to bring up to detract from the job McHale has done, but that play right there wreaked of Harden just doing what he wanted. There is NO coach in that situation who informs their star to jack the three, not even McHale.

 

I knew his job wasn't in any jeopardy. It seems like the team, specifically Howard and Parsons, love the guy. I'm pretty sure the last thing Rockets want is instability in the coaching staff with Dwight Howard on the roster.

 

Damn, I want jvg

 

Two more loses and I'm sure they'll have a change of heart.

 

What's interesting is that I agree whole-heartedly with the premise of the article regarding the roster. It is a young team that was just assembled and there are major needs to be addressed with an offseason of full methods of acquisition available to Morey.

However, I don't feel like McHale is a positive factor for the team. I'd rather see a different coach grow with this team than McHale.
