If Morey planned on McFail being a transition coach then right now looks the right time to make the transition
Too many guys on earlier pages criticizing me for starting this thread. Fact is McHale had very little to do with out winning streak. Harden got hot and carried the team. You only have to watch each game properly to figure that McHale remains as clueless as ever when ti comes to coaching.
If they lose next game it should be no doubt that Mchale is actually underachieving with this team. Minnesota is practically without their entire team and their coach. You absolutely cannot lose the next game unless your team is not prepared and not motivated.
Stats tell you that HArden is not a horrible defender. He actually does try but doesn't understand what is going on like all of the team where they continue to go behind screens on shooters (all of the players) and continue to help out on bigs posting up and...well...leaving shooters... This is coaching stuff and we see it game after game.
I don't blame Harden because he takes <20 shots per game, which shows that he wants to be a team player. I think it's the coaches and their offensive system that is so rigid that consistent results have been created similar to last season. When you ask every player to become a 3pt specialist, every player to act as a part-time pg and don't allow midrange shots, players stop developing their specialties. That is kind of like asking a manager and a coach to do each other's job.
LOL, "takes <20 shots per game" == "Team Player"? :grin: OMG, you have made my day. Then almost all NBA players are team players.
Posted this in another thread, and somebody suggested me to move it here. It is kind of puzzling how McHale used our PG though.....
The coaches's system doesn't have a floor general so the offense must be simple and robotic. Once it has been figured out...............
Mchale/Avery Johnson= my highschool coach MDA/Thibs/PJ= my colleges coach Some coaches are just on another level....
