nice, its good to read about Mchale's coaching philosophy. It looks like the future is bright in houston.
For those of us that do not have access to ESPN (due to work), can someone post a snipit of the article?
Thought this was interesting: If you split the season by 10-game segments, Houston's offensive efficiency failed to increase once. I wonder when it was - right after the trade deadline?
Nicely written, but he's trying to mold the story away from reality. Mchale doesn't like at least some of Morey's moves, and he reluctantly choose to play the style due to the players we have. He also showed very little interest in stat...
The point is though that we found a coach in McHale that is willing to roll with what is given to him, and play them to their strengths, not his system. He understood this after his first interview here: It's Morey's world and we're all just living in it.
Great article. And more importantly, as the perception about Houston's offense spreads across the NBA (it's a fun system, lots of freedom, etc..) more and more players will be attracted to it. I think it takes more than just Harden to recruit and sell the team. It take a whole "culture", and I think we have something very attractive to sell.
It's a blast," says Parsons. A self-described 6-foot-10 forward "with a ratchet" (i.e., 3-point jumper)... LOL :grin:
