Also you do realize Lowry cant play starters minutes-he shouldn't of even come back dude! He had lost 15 POUNdS in a hospital... He's limited in minutes right now, and not in his best game shape
Rockets were battling for a playoff spot. Every one of you would have rushed Lowry back too. Not only was Lowry not ready physically, but the team chemistry was disrupted. Preferred Adelman to McHale too, but this is not on McHale. He rolled the dice and it came up craps. It happens.
MacHail should have taken a page out of Adelman's strategy of bringing in a player slowly. 8 minutes at a time.
Weren't the Rockets the 6th seed before Lowry came back? You had to have known the team wasn't going to be the same with him back, mainly because Dragic would see the floor less.
that was maury and supergeeks. when the fuhrer was presented with the idea of playing yao 5 mins at a time, he questioned it.
The team is mentally and physically exhausted. That's the reason. McHales failure to establish a steady substitution pattern, develop a passable second team with Fortson or Boykins - a lineup that could at least offer 15 min of rest to the starters, while not blowing double digit leads - are the reasons for the slump in performance. During the 20-game stretch after Lowry went out, he ran the team to the ground. It was obvious, that what he was doing with that limited lineup was unsustainable. They lost their legs and then they lost their confidence and here we are. That's it. As a coach McHale's got a lot to learn. Having a good coach will make or break your team. A fact that a lot of people are completely unaware of.
