You are just speculating and pulling **** out of your ass. How do you know Morey is manipulating Mchale? How do you know Mchale is a yes man to Morey? Morey has said time and time again he doesnt tell Mchale who to play or how to play. He does show him data and stats but that is just for Mchales benefit. He has clearly stated that Mchale makes all of the coaching decisions without any interference.

We don't have the personnel to run many plays. - No post presence - No shooter who can come off screens (Delfino is a standstill shooter) Hell we don't even have a point guard since Harden is our best playmaker
McHale has stated in numerous interviews (the one I'm currently thinking about is the one he did on the LeBatard show a few weeks ago) and he said often Morey puts piles of paperwork and stats on his desk, he looks over a few things and then leaves them for a few weeks on his desk to humor Morey and then throws them away.
That sounds like something an old school guy like Mchale would do. He doesnt really have an appreciation for Morey's advanced stats and graph charts.
The limitations of our play calling is due to the limitations of our personnel. We have one player that is good at everything (Harden), surrounded by guys that are only good at one or two things. Once they take away our players' primary skillsets, we don't have a go-to option other than to rely on Harden. Once the other team has our other players in check, they double him. The simple truth is we need another playmaker....someone to take the load off of Harden. Lin is not that guy, and neither is Parsons or Asik. The mystery 2nd piece is either one of our rookie PFs (most likely DMo or TRob) or is not currently on this team.
If that is a true quote from Parsons, I am puzzled, because I see them running what appears to be plays or at least responses to what the defense is giving them at the time. Read and react?
So if we have plays, why does are shooting guard automatically go into iso and break the play. I like the wheel and corner. a cool combo would be wheel into corner
If we had Kevin Martin instead of James Harden, trust me, we would be running a lot more "set" plays. Harden doesn't need "set" plays to score.
Just wondering, when did Parsons say we don't have any set plays? I tried googling but all the results were from CF.
