    Apparently, Thomas Robinson also "lost his cool with a new teammate". It was Tim Ohlbrecht. Meh, what they showed on the news, seemed minor. Robinson just threw/hit Ohlbrecht with the ball.

    McHale is absolutely pissed, talking about how bad his team playing, and someone asked him what he thought of "Demetrius" Jordan's dunk last night?

    Oh man, I would have cringed if I had been there at that moment.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Brooks and Ohlbrecht get some minutes in the near future. Of course McHale will get slammed by Clutchfans for trying something different, but I think he will want to see what they can do before the end of the season. It wouldn't shock me to see Brooks or Ohlbrecht in the rotation by the time the playoffs start.

    It did not work for me either.

    I had to select all videos and look for the ones posted "today", and then click it from the thumbnails below for it to play. It doesn't work as a direct link for me.

    On the bit about Omer that is actually something that I noticed recently. He is looking a lot more cut lately than he did early in the year. You can tell the guy has really gotten himself into shape.

    I'd like to see them both. I'm really interested in Ohlbrecht. While DMo and Jones were doing well in D-League, the coach thought of Ohlbrecht as the star player and the guy he couldn't afford to have get in foul trouble, etc. I got the impression that he does all the little things, and takes care of business defensively and on the boards and is a good passer. Of course, it was D-League, but it was D-League for Motiejunas also.

    So...the 4 guys who didn't get a defensive rebound among them in 90 minutes?

    Lin, Parsons, Beverley and Smith

    They got some offensive rebounds but no defensive ones.

    Mchale genuinely believes all the shame should be on the players.

    And most of Clutchfans seem to believe all the shame should be on McHale.

    Both are wrong.

    It was on ABC13 here in Houston. Robinson basically lost his cool, got frustrated going against Ohlbrecht.

    Frustrated against Ohlbrecht, a DLeague call up?

    Bright future indeed.

    McHale is so out of touch.

    Didn't even watch the Demetrius Dunk.

    I actually like McHale and his interviews but it is true that he never seems to take any responsibility or blame for the losses or the team playing poorly, at least not publicly.

    Whether you think he should or not, it is in stark contrast to the Knicks' Coach Woodson who never seems to say anything negative about his players without taking at least some of the responsibility for the team's play, preparation, whatever. Different styles, for sure.

    Or you can look at it as T-Rob cares enough to get frustrated and just needs to harness that intensity within the game. Hate to take a blow at Pat, but that guy looked indifferent for much of his career here, mabye why he didn't get rebounds.

    I don't think of T-Rob as a protoype offensive forward, I'm hoping he becomes more of a rebounder,defender,banger enforcer for this finesse starting lineup.
