    We need a hard-nosed coach to reign harden, I don't give a flying **** that dwight hates tough coaches! If he wants to win, thats the only way.

    Yes. McHale is a great coach. We are lucky to have him.

    I'm not sure I even care if we beat Portland. He should be gone either way (assuming we don't make a finals run). These two games have really told you more than enough about his suitability to coach a contender, even without seeing the final result of the series.

    Why don't I remember Aldridge ever being double teamed tonight?

    Why do I remember seeing Chander Parsons D'ed up on Aldridge?

    Why has there been so much Garcia court time in this series?

    Certainly we have some roster short-falls, but these coaching decisions are concerning.

    F Mchale! I'm sick of this city bringing in these lame a$$ coaches to coach really good teams then when we suck we have great coaches. Mchale needs to take himself back to Boston with that BS philosophy he has.

    I don't think it even matters if we make it to the Finals, at this point. McHale needs to go.

    How can you keep letting LA shoot all those shots, where's the double, where's the zone ?
    Need to at least give it a shot, throw some zone d and throw them off balance, LA is eating the Defense alive.
    Where is the fast break?
    where is the bench ?
    the only plays we run are harden iso/pnroll and dump it to dwight.
    he made no adjustments from game 1 to game 2.

    No, I like him, but if the Rockets don't rebound and win the series, he will be canned. He is being out coached on the national stage and it is very obvious.

    I love the man as a Bostonian raised on the 80s Celtics... but this quality human being is deficient as a head coach. Maybe he'd be good as an assistant to a bad cop type.

    If McHale is an average coach, he's got to be the bottom of all average coaches. I know all about being average.

    Might not like Innes but he is TOTALLY right

    Harden would be forced to play D under JVG.

    I think the whole "he didn't have heart" excuse is complete and total BS, especially in the playoffs when the championship is on the line. Say he didn't dominate, or that he stunk. But don't say the superstar didn't have heart. Honestly, which player out there would actually say, "Eh, I'm just not feeling this playoff win today"?? Or did the Trailblazers really win because they had more heart? At a certain point, it's gotta be about the Xs and Os and you have to put the blame where it's mostly due, which in this case is clearly the coaching.


    Oh, and **** Josh Innes.
