    Lol...

    You know how McHale is. He's very selective when it comes to playing rookies. We'll get to see him next year.

    And they continue to give minutes to non-shooters Asik and Howard instead of Covington. McFail doesn't know that you have to shoot to score and you have to score to win.

    And don't get me started on Jeremy Lin.

    i think he and daniels have a shot at the rotation next year.

    we need points off the bench, and these guys can fill it up (and cheaply!). but will they be liabilities on defense?

    if i were to give 1 piece of advice to both of them it would be to work all summer on perimeter defense and become a 3-D player. if either does that he's automatically getting minutes.

    Okay you've obviously never played basketball before. Is Covington gonna box out deandre Jordan and get boards, without a center, they will score literally every possession off a make or putback... How many guys can score per possession? 1. How many guy can box out and play defense? 5. That's the nature of basketball. You don't got to score a lot to help the team. See Patrick Beverly.

    Now does mchale misuse Lin's talents? Absolutely. But that was the choice we made when we signed harden. Jury's still out on that one. I'd like to see some more defense and +/- from harden and less free-throw inflated stats before I make that call. But regardless, harden has huge upside if he could put it all together. Basically be like lin 2.0

    Great pick! He was a leader, played well and did what the NBA dreamed of when they got the idea to make the NBADL: developed an NBA game.
