howard 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.
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!
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. 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.
