    Yes it was odd. The biggest head scratcher was when it looked like he passed open a wide open lay up to pass to Patterson.

    McHales rotations are jacked up. He had Harden Lin & Tony out there at once. That was a hot mess.

    But not boxing out his guy and allowing offensive rebounds IS a big problem.

    Like WIDE OPEN. Eddy Curry could have trundled down that lane. Lin should have just dunked it. Dunno what's going on w/ him.

    Did you see the two times Lin set up Parsons nicely at the end of the 4th Q? Harden did that once too and so did Toney. Our guards did a good job making plays in 4Q.

    Patterson prefers to do the pick n pop as opposed to the PNR. And yes you are right defenders leave Patt wide open so he needs to punish them for that by hitting those shots.

    There really doesn't seem to be any in between with the fans or media with Lin. You think he's the best defensive starter, others think he is a defensive liability.

    lol

    Quite funny. It's just like Tebow, he either wins games or can't throw.

    How about Lin's long pass to start a fast break. He's really good at it even with a defender close by. Seldom turn it over. Don't see a lot PG can do that in the league

    I agree. He did fine as the PG, looking for the open man, yelling at guys to get to the right spots. His numbers were fine.

    I'm not saying he did a bad job setting ppl up. But when you have a wide open lane to the rim, you don't pass it up EVER. Like there's no higher percentage shot that's available, so why pass out?

    I own LP as well, but streaming is more fluid for me because everyone at my place is using internet constantly, so streaming uses less bandwidth which means no lagging for me, compared to on LP..... and it's always blacked out for me anyways, so I have no choice majority of the time.

    Im talking about this game. His rebounding has been an ongoing issue this season, this is, the third consecutive game he was out rebounded by our guards, Delfino played 16 mins and got 4 rebounds, Ppat played 32mins.

    I'm sick of his lack of rebounding effort.

    what a crappy game. Good thing Harden was hot in the first half. Rockets should've been blowing Washington out. How did Mchale get the job again?
