    It´s pretty dumb because he's punishing the only starter that actually bought it tonight lol.

    You can't simply rest your starters in this stretch. Even if they are giving you a **** effort. EVERY game in this stretch is important and to play your reserves that long while resting your starters for a ****ing lesson is disgusting.

    We HAVE to try and win every game. Not playing your starters the final quarter isn't trying to win.

    This was just a stupid move by McHale and I've generally supported him. No excuse for this dumb move.

    The Rockets bench has been very impressive.

    didnt watch the game tonight but it looks like a good example of what this team is without james harden on his game.

    Not really, Grizz are playing the youngest team in the NBA with no playoff experience. But congrats on taking advantage of that tonight, too bad the Grizz will get bounced early in the playoffs like they always do.

    Interesting move to basically give up. When the bench brought it to 9 or so I would have thought the starters would come in. The Grizzlies announcers are befuddled

    Starters deserved to be benched...their defense have been horrendous the past few games...no way we can win games without playing defense especially when we are missing 3s

    Whatever, I like the move. Starters weren't playing well enough to win anyway. Good lesson/ wake up call for them.

    Hes resting them tomorrow.

    Take the positives from this game. It took the Grizzlies starters to kill our bench. I daresay if they had left their bench out there we could have won with our bench.

    Not bad considering we lost Toney, PPat and Morris.

    T-Rob is so raw. I start having doubts ... Morey might be wrong on this one.

    it may actually go both ways. the players are pretty much saying the similar thing to the coach as well.
