I have no problem with McHale tonight. Starters deserved the bench (except Parsons). Moreover, game tomorrow against Clips.
good job by mchale tonight: 1. damaging morale 2. possibly splitting the team 3. very likely losing his job 4. losing a statement game
Just like I said earlier. Mchales problem today wasn't benching the starters it was playing Delfino at PF. That's when the game got away from us and even when he had a chance to adjust he didn't. He was a great player ON the court but on the sidelines he has no clue what he's doing.
McHale *****ed up the Wolves and now the Rockets will be next. If his daughter didn't pass away his ass would've been canned by now.
Um that guy has been a Rockets fan for a while I think. He's been pretty hard on Jeremy and even defended him getting benched for whole 4th quarters several times. I wouldn't just write him off just b/c he likes Lin and caters to Lin fans. He can still be honest
If your star player (NOT Lin) is not ashamed of what coach did to him, maybe Rockets are building around the wrong kinda guy. This includes the starters as well. Mchale is a old school hard nose coach, he took pride in his profession and in the game. He did a fine job tonight.
We weren't being out hustled at all. Everyone was competing hard. The issue was that we had no interior defense for the second game in a row. McHale blames his and Morey's incompetence on people that have nothing to do with it. Harden Parsons Asik and Lin are not responsible for the collapse of interior defending.
This type of move is straight out of Popovich's playbook. Greg would have done this to Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili... all three being veterans and more established in the league. On a sidenote, this should actually boost Lin's morale because you at least know that Mchale is not a LOH! He hates all players equally
Nice job, McFail. If you purposely bench your starters to send a message, I don't know what you were doing during practice. You are supposed to prepare your team for the game, both physically and mentally. If you purposely rest your starter just to prepare for next game, then I have some news for you, at this stage of season, you don't mail any game, when your playoffs seat is on the line. It is no chance you will beat Clippers tomorrow because you are basically their bi*ch the last two times you met.
