    The first present that he gave McHale was not trading for Rondo.

    Great player and seemingly as great as a person. Only hated him back then because the Celts beat in 1986.

    Happy B-day Coach McHale!

    Happy birthday, Coach! You're doing a good job with the bigs and getting Harden to buy in. #Pursuit

    Coach of the year.... Is it just me or has he taken a large leap like dmo?

    We could technically have the coach of the year, most Improved player, and MVP all on the same team.

    Morey must have used McHale's birthday as his trade deadline.

    Morey to McHale: Kevin, you know what. I've trade DMo for Dragic as your b-day present.

    I get sad thinking about how he lost his daughter to lupus. I hope that he and his family are happy and have come to terms with their loss. HBD, coach!

    Happy birthday coach. You have given this city some of the best BB we have ever had and we are lucky to have you here.
