What I like about McHale is his ability to connect to players. I think what makes our current system so faulty is our ability to get consistent scoring from the outside. A part of me dies whenever I see how sluggish our offense can get when our supposed "shooters" aren't consistently a threat.
My only major complaint about the offense is that we run way too many post ups for Dwight. But I don't think that decision is up to McHale.
Garcia can hang with guys like Durant for awhile and did so in the PlayOffs, when he gets it done defensively his shots start falling. It's the incompetence of the coaching staff to not know our personnel and make good rotations.
Sigh. The Rockets offense is a mirror of Morey's vision. No inefficient two point shots. You do realize that Melo and LMA, two of the best mid-range shooters in today's NBA, do not average anywhere close in PPP to the Rockets roster as a whole? A telling stat. The Rockets are taking so many fewer mid-ranged shots than the NBA it is not even funny. Please go back and read some of my posts on NBA defense. NBA defense is defined by Coach Thib. And it takes time to develop. See my previous posts on the GARM.
If he was in the west he would have the same amount of success as Hornachek. lool I think this is a good list IMO with how the season has played out.
Jason Kidd, Adelman, and Mark Jackson should be higher Charlotte sucks but I like what Clifford's done w/ that roster, which is basically Kemba, Al Jefferson, and 13 scrubs nobody wants. Top 10 defense, guys like McRoberts and Henderson are solid this year, that 3 man pick and roll they run is nice to watch.
I just think you need a longer track record in the NBA and win more games before you can be ranked among the top half of coaches. Losing but doing all right for part of a season considering the talent one has isn't enough. I think Stevens has a bright future, but he hasn't accomplished enough yet.
hate on mchale all you want, but we went into this game tonight with a plan and executed it perfectly. we knew durant was going to need to do all their scoring tonight and we shut him down effectively knowing we didn't need to focus on anyone else
Really? Because I'm quite sure most people had the Wolves in the playoffs this year and found them severely underachieving. Also, did you even look at the list? Hornacek? Stotts? Casey? BRAD STEVENS? Clifford? Carslie?
I disagree. There's something to be said about managing egos, but you could just as easily look at it as this: with all that talent they shouldn't be struggling for the east's top seed. Spoelstra (and Brooks) are absolutely overrated as coaches. In fact, the NBA coach in general is overrated -- you and I could coach the Heat to the playoffs just sitting in our asses at home
