    What is this new game plan McHale cooked up?

    Our whole team strategy is centered around letting Harden get points rather than winning. Terrible coaching.

    I think D'Antoni would be the best coach for Linsanity.

    I believe this has been patented by McFail

    Starters should play during these moments. STARTERS. This is a young team and they need to learn crunch time situation. We paid Lin and Asik boatloads of money and they're going to be here for the foreseeable future and yet this is like the fourth time this crap has happened.

    This coaching staff is a goddamned joke and even though we're not getting rid of them during the season, we're hurting these players' growth and I hope that by next season there's some fresh faces on the staff. Including head coach. I like McHale as a person and as a player-- I'm absolutely disgusted with his coaching philosophy. Being personable and having players like you doesn't mean crap if you don't have a solid strategy.

    I'm fine with losing. I'm not fine with losing like this.

    McHale is very old school, long minutes, few substitutions.

    Harden/Parsons too winded to play D on Mayo. You need to have faith in our other players and SUB MORE dammit.

    When I saw Patterson back in the game, and no big or Lin, I knew this team was going to blow it. You don't stack three point shooters and not set screens.

    I hope Lin gets traded. This organization is garbage.

    All you LOHs....can't blame this loss on Lin. Trade Lin to Lakers!:grin: Didn't the coaches watch at least a few games from last year?

    Lin needs to be more productive than warming the bench. Overpaid!

    Harden with 45 minutes of pt. Only sub in the 4th was Cole for Pat. Maybe Mchale is rusty o_O

    Very important point. Development of the rooks should be a focus instead of "win now." But coaches are more incentivized to look for wins now. Whereas a franchise might value development more (i.e. see Cavs, Warriors).

    The TnoD project has failed once again. Any questions?
