    Before Howard works on his post moves with Hakeem and McHale, how about they teach him how to shoot free throws?

    I think that is going to be the most important thing for him to learn because all teams will just foul him at the end of the fourth quarter.

    And who did Jefferson learn a lot of those moves from?

    McHale!

    With a good big man to throw it into, "iso-ball" is actually a legitimate late game strategy, assuming DH can get his FTs above 65%. We have options now people!

    I'm sure Jeremy Lin will improve a little and be better than he was last year.

    All about that footwork. Mchale and Parsons tagged teamed Howard it sounds like.

    As a fan of Lin, I don't remember calling for Mchale's resignation nor called him names. I just didn't like him calling out Jlin in public. :mad: Also, the weird substitutions..hated those.

    Jlin the spot up shooter, I hated it at first but I realized that whatever holes Jlin might have in his game, he would work on it and strive to be better. Look at his stats after the all-stars...vast improvement. According to him, he's working on his left hand. Dude is hard worker.

    Jlin =work ethics = success

    It's the honeymoon phase. McHale still hasn't shown himself to be a great coach and it's rare when a great player becomes a great coach. Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't think McHale is the right coach for this team.

    That was odd, with the 29pt, 9 turnover thing, but the main issue imho was the substitutions and matchups. Deflino on Gasol? Pau hasn't regressed THAT much. But apart from that he did a very good job. Don't get the hate.

    That's great news! Hey, that's why we are not the GM right ;) I totally agree with the comparison to Rudy T in being the type of coaches players like and respect.
