It's too bad Harden couldn't bail him out tonight like he usually does. We all know that McHale sucks let's just hope Jerry Sloan gains some interest in coaching us.
Okafor was shooting over Delfino all night and McHale keeps him in on the last defensive play.....SMDH.....
I had no issues with the foul on the worst FT shooting guy on that team...My issues stem for Mchale's poor in game adjustments...Like what are his coaching staff doing??? Shouldnt they communicate important things like that to their head coach??? I get/understand that Mchale is relatively new in the league...but this is ridiculous..if you look at the last play...parsons was shoving their rebounder in the back and Delfino was just trapped under the rim...the ball carommed of the back iron and landed exclusively where the left side guard shouldve got to...totally inexcusable...There was no reason for Beverly to hide down that end of the court...both guards, and the team shouldve realized the importance of a rebound...This is the third time this season that the inablity to rebound cost the Rockets a chance at a possession...DMo shouldve been put in just for rebounding purposes...he is 7 freaking foot tall...he will keep Nene/their bigs occupied
I didn't had a chance to see the game, but telling from these comments, Mr.Mchale kept going small instead using the bigs a lot. Nah, I don't blame him though. D-Mo can't play defense yet, so it wouldn't matter anyway. And Terrence Jones, like D-Mo, he's just a rookie. So it wouldn't matter either way it would be a struggle. I still would've played D-mo and Terrence Jones, though. I can't wait for next week to see what Robinson can do for us.
Mchale hurt this team more then the refs tonight. We had all the momentum Beverly & Dmo playing well, 8pt lead and he yanks them. That's when the Wizards came back!
Would you really feel better if it were Okafor iso'd against string bean Dmo on the last play? Rockets are just undermanned, McHale picked his poison.
I've never thought McHale was a good coach but it was a bad game all the way around. Team kind of looked like they were going through the motions out there tonight at times, like they weren't taking the Wizards seriously. They played down to competition tonight and it cost them.
can't blame Mchale, Dmo is slow on the defensive rotations, I could imagine a pick n roll + wide open dunk coming. You have to pick your poison. Lin killed us towards the end with his reluctance to shoot.
Would you feel better if a Seven Footer was guarding you compared to a 6 foot 6 guard? The rockets are not undermanned simply under-coached.
Mchale on Jeremy Lin: "Sometimes he'd rather have 29 points and nine turnovers and I tell him Jeremy we're trying to win." (after nets game) Hence Lin's reluctance to shoot.
Ugh, no screens set for any of our guards. It's all pass around the perimeter looking for a 3 point shot. It looks great when our threes aren't falling but when they're not we should have some sort of different offensive scheme to go to. I guess every one of our guards has to rely on beating their man off the dribble to get into the paint.
