    Terrible coach. But he's right. What's the use of flexibility if you don't use it right. I.E. Joey Dorsey

    While what he says is right, somebody gotta tell him merely telling players to "play harder" without tactical adjustment doesn't win games.

    He speaks the truth. I doubt he agrees with Morey's decisions

    McHale seems to figure out the reasons why after the plans come to fruition. That summer league when we gutted our team and brought in Jeremy and Omer, he was complaining about losing his entire roster only to have harden fall in his lap a few weeks later. This offseason sucked, but it's not like we will be a lottery team. I still think we get around the same record (50+).

    Parsons was not worth 15mil. Get over it. Ariza gives you same production, better defense at half the price. McHale is just mad Parsons is gone because his daughters loved him. Also, for the same reason Parsons is gone, is the same reason he's still the coach. It was a move to lure Love. Unless Rockets make a deep run or win the championship, he's gone.

    I agree with him and I hope he pisses off Morey and gets his ass fired. :grin:

    Kevin McHale being Kevin McHale.

    [rQUOTEr]"I've never seen Cap Room score a basket yet though," McHale said recently. "I've seen old Cap, and his last name is Room, I've yet to see him put a hoop in, haven't seen him block a shot, haven't seen him get a rebound yet. But when Cap Room starts putting up numbers, we should be in great shape."

    This comment will at least put more pressure on Morey to get things done in the future.
    As far as McHale's coaching is concerned, it's terrible.

    Ur right, Ariza is not a drop off from Parsons. But our bench is atrocious. We have the worst looking bench I've seen in a very long time. Not only did Morey miss out on the big name FA's, but he's apparently disinterested in the role players (Augustine, C. Butler, Pierce etc) too. We basically saved all our cap space for superstar and ended up with Joey Dorsey

    When asked if flexibility could play defense, McHale responded, "what the hell do I know about defense?" His contract was then promptly extended.

    LOL! I'm not a big fan of McHale's coaching but as a player, commentator and individual, I'm a huge fan! Dude speaks his mind and is hilarious often unintentionally.
