This. All season long McHale would rather run Parsons with the bench instead of Lin. Makes zero frickin' sense.
To be fair, Harden wasn't getting the calls he usually gets when driving through the lane. Either Wayne blew this one big time.
No point in getting hopes with this team in playoffs. Harden just throws s h it shots everywhere and hopes for whistles while the other team goes on fast break runs. You know in playoffs they are not going to call anything for Harden. We are going to get swept no matter which seed we get. We just aren't a playoff team. If you really want a winning team here than go get a real defensive coach and play defense. This high offense never worked out for anyone playing without defense. With McHale, you will never play better defense. Bring back JVG.
Harden gave up. He clearly didn't even try tonight. Worrell's making excuses for him but Harden just laid down like last years finals
I think Harden was hurt tonight. But, we need a coach that will take him out so that he won't get injured, and one that will take him out if he is consistently forcing up bad shots when could pass to open teammates. I think that is demoralizing for the teammates. Also, the Rockets have invested a lot of money in Harden, why risk an injury?
You know, clearly its because McHale got a memo from Stern. "Houston will play OKC in the first round. P.S. lose to the Suns so that the game with the Lakers becomes ratings gold."
