    This game was firmly in hand, then 3 fouls in 1 minute and its over.

    Harden is going to have to find the inner superstar... when they game isnt going your way the superstar has to take the game...

    If you don't understand basketball, don't post. We all know what happened, and why people were complaining.

    Right? No TJones since god knows how long, and the only one we can rely on for interior defense is Asik, who currently has 5 fouls.

    If anything, this loss is on the piss poor rotations and playing small ball for the first 4 minutes of the 4th quarter.

    Iso-play and mid range jumpshots are not helping. Play like a team.

    Don't care how Lin and Harden are playing, this one is all on Mchale. He just doesn't know how to utilize his stars and ride their momentum. Terrible rotations, just obviously not a good coach.
    We will get swept in the first round, but hopefully that means we will fire Mchale.

    Lets be honest, Asik fumbled so many of Harden's passes that we could blame it on him.

    What is terrible is McHale's coaching this game. Lin had it going early in the third and McHale let him sit on the bench forever. It is impossible to get any rhythm when that happens. Waiting till the 6 min mark then asking a cold player to bail you out is ridiculous.

    I know a lot of people were yelling for Lin to come back but he really hasn't played well this game. This was a game McHale should have stayed with Beverly.The biggest mistake in this game was going small. If Rox loss, it's on McHale for poor game management and recognition.

    McHale lost all the momentum we had with his ****ing stupid substitution. Small ball lineup against Howard and Gasol, icing Lin on the bench...good job McHale, coach of the year

    Even if we win this game, McHale should be blamed for it being so close!!

    McHale needs to be fired. They brought him in to be a transitional coach, because the outlook for the team was not great. They were expecting 25 win seasons, in an attempt to rebuild.

    2011 was okay, but then Harden landed here with Lin. This is a legit team, and I think it is painfully obvious that McHale needs to be let go.
    HE IS NOT HEAD COACHING MATERIAL!
