Don't worry, McHale doesn't know how to coach, that much is apparent. He got completely cooked by the Timberwolves D-Leaguers. Douglas is a good player, and would be fantastic if he was playing as the off-guard and getting open looks. Instead those looks are given to Lin who can't shoot and now Beverley who statistically isn't meant to be a good 3pt shooter either. And instead of running the offense through Harden and Lin at the top of the key he instead wants to run it through the elbows with DELFINO and PARSONS. Good job McFail.
TD demands starter min rather than playing as a backup for JL. TD is looking for a bigger contract, and Rox want more capital flexibility in the summer.
Obviously they are going to trade him, that's why they bench him in order to protect him from (any possible) injury.
I'm glad that TD speaks out and will ask the coach the reason why he is not in the rotation lately. I think TD deserves to play and PB can play with TD but not at the expense of TD.
I usually don't complain to much about the coach but I start to question his choices of rotation & game plan.
He did, but only when he was playing by himself. Whenever he was playing with Harden he took Lin's old role of camping out in the corner.
I still vividly remember that many posters were calling out Lin "what the fk Lin's doing camping out in the corner?" Now here's Beverly.....camping out in the corner. Lol. We were right after all.... that's what the coaching staff wanted them to do. TD and Lin have good chemistry. There were very few assists from Lin that TD did not convert.
Energy is essential -- as are discipline and self control, especially during this difficult period. I hope that technical last night was the last one.
The problem is his shots only drop in crunch time, so other than for defense, he's not much use outside of 4th quarter.
Beverly now should be a solid backup for Lin. He's now dribbling the ball up court, pass to Hardin, and then stand in the corner, just like Lin.
during the game Worrell made mention of TD losing spot in rotation to Beverly, and Drexler commented "that only because of his injury". I wish I go back to replay those comments. Anyone else hear that? I think it was during the 3rd quarter.
I heard it, but have never seen or read anything regarding it. And doesn't make sense given comments that TD was asking McHale about his loss of minutes in the rotation. I do feel like they're misusing TD again. He's a shooting guard with *some* passing ability. Just stop asking him to be the primary ball handler and he'll be fine.
I honestly think he provides instant offense and at times that is really needed. I don't understand why he only plays in garbage time now.
I never cared for TD, but he honestly hasn't been playing bad at all. I feel for the guy though, losing minutes to some newbie who has shown some sparks here and there. Getting benched for entire games though? That seriously can kill a guys confidence
