Official Extend McHale and Give Him a Pay Raise Thread

This is why we wait until the playoffs. Smh

 

I stick by this.

 

I voted yes right now for ****s and giggles.

Pathetic crap from Morey and Les.

 

Yes, he is a major part of the problem. If the players are completely to blame, why even have a coach? The coach is a manager; the players are employees. The manager's job is to make the team perform and get things done. Now, no manager understands what having bad employees can do to your team better than I do, but these guys all have NBA-level talent in different places, and it's all being misdirected, and the whole is less than the sum of its parts.

Most of them are young, and they need a game plan, direction for individual improvement, and consequences for poor play. It may be the whole coaching staff that's at fault. It may just be McHale. It may be Morey's system. But the team is playing well below its level, and play like we've seen in this Clippers series is downright revolting. The coaching staff needs to get the most out of their players or they need to go somewhere else.

 

When I can predict the bread and butter out-of-timeout play 9 out of 10 times, then I'd say he's not so good. The same goes for seeing how their D is set. I'm far from a hoops genius, and even I can observe that he's tactically outmatched. We won't know the next Kerr or coach Bud until they actually try to mix it up. It takes a whole year to teach a team disciplined defense that is able to switch up different styles and different coverages without missing a beat. This team struggles to execute properly the same defensive scheme 2 possessions in a row. That is why you see the Clips run the freaking same play 4 times in a row or more. That crap didn't happen in the Spurs series. Both teams were constantly changing, switching into zones, changing up defenders, fronting, hedging, playing straight up behind...it was a great series to watch. Now, we're watching toddler level NBA defense in comparison.

 

the clips are not 30pts better than the rockets talent-wise. especially with a gimpy chris paul. our rockets have fundamental structural problems with the offensive system and defending the p'n'r. they have had effort problems repeatedly. they have been deathly slow making adjustments 3 playoff seasons in a row now. mchale is the only constant here the past 4 season-ending epic meltdowns.

 

Who told you that the rockets have to win the series? The rockers made the playoff history by outscoring 25 points in two games, in last two games, the games were over in the third q. The rockets fans are not stupid, they know what is going on right now.

 

McHale just earned his pay packet in that one game.....a lot of ppl needs to eat crow...

I have not said a thing bad about this coach all season
