    What's with the Chandler obsession?

    Mchale won game 6 by benching James . James responded with a 45 point game in game 7 and great games in the Warriors series .

    James has a lot on his plate . There are going to be times when he's not 100 percent locked in on both ends . He needs to rebound next half , and history says that he will .

    There are bigger adjustments to make , like being able to guard the PnR . We are getting our assholes torn up

    Sure. On second thoughts those trades may be too unrealistic or lopsided in our favour, but that just goes to show how crap our players are apart from Harden. Personally I'd go with an athletic lineup like the Thunder because at least you know they have well-defined roles where they can work together with their strengths to form a cohesive unit. We are like just a lolly scramble where its like hey your turn my turn lets all just shoot 3's and grab a rebound when it bounces to us

    Man, did I pick the wrong game to spring for midcourt, row 9 seats. We look short and slow on the court and in the crowd, if you can call it that.

    So are you saying bench harden or not?

    Because I think thats a fatal move. Mchale was a disciplinarian who would sometimes yell at or bench harden. He "held him accountable" and that didnt work out. He just got passive aggressive and tuned out.

    Mike needs to keep Hardens trust.

    We have no one to put in the game when we bench harden, gordon, lou

    I'm just looked at the team stats.... I can't believe we're only down 11 at half.

    If we were playing a better offensive team it might be over 20.

    Piss poor defense and honestly one of the worst games iv seen from James in a while. He's not making it happen.

    Pray to God that the Jazz don't fall to the 6 seed because we'd be toast

    Yes, yes they are.

    Lethargic.

    Maybe feeling down on/sorry for themselves after the Spurs loss.
    Maybe Mike will blame the fans for not showing up.
    Maybe they heard Kawhi is the new MVP.

    They certainly are playing like they want the 3 seed from us

    If they win, they get the tiebreaker with a 3 game gap with 8 to go. Very doable for them.

    I was thinking about that game and agree but mchale got fired next year. You think maybe harden held that against him?

    Do we want Mchale back now?

    Nope, just wanted to. It takes a LOT for me to switch from a Rockets game.

    Negative on benching Harden, but anyone else is fair game.
