As of right now, is Lin one of the worst starting PG's in the NBA?

mchale isn't great and I was never high on the guy but he can't be completely blamed for out shortcomings. We are just built with too many holes. It would be irrational to fire Mchale right now especially given this team's rather abrasive treatment with past coaches. Adelman should have never been let go.

 

:grin:

 

Agree...When Morris plays bad we criticize Morris, when Harden plays bad we criticize Harden, when Chandler plays bad we criticize Chandler but when Lin plays bad we should criticize the coach?

I like Lin and hope he gets better (he is still young) but if he has a bad game, he has the right to be criticized just like every other player...

 

This isn't much of an excuse. In fact, it's a weird rationalization used to deflect legitimate criticism regarding fixable problems on the court. There are analysts who said the Rockets could be a 50 win team this year. I imagine you scoff at that, but here's something you can't scoff at: Morey has stated unequivocally that he expects the Rockets to be a play-off team this year. That should be clear enough for anyone. The Rockets most certainly have the talent to be a play-off team this year. If they don't make it, this is very strong evidence that those of us who think the coaching has been a failure are right. If they're even in a race for the 8th spot, it's pretty strong evidence. Morey wouldn't be so certain if he thought it were a 50/50 shot at 8th place.

 

SMH. He wasn't by far the worst poster in this thread.
