Benched in 4th! Just want to note this for the next time somebody wants to complain about their favorite guy not getting minutes. The coach is riding the hot unit. Also, I wonder if Omer feels a little better about his situation now.
In all seriousness, Howard looked like a happy camper on the bench. Cheering for his teammates and happy to get a break.
Seriously, absolutely disgusting move by Kevin McHale. Notice how only Parsons stayed in the game? Vanilla bias by McEvil.
Thank god somebody pointed this out. Look, as a guy who has been following the Rockets since Dwight signed with them three months ago, Omer sucks and has always sucked and will always suck. Sticking with him was a terrible move, as evidenced by our victory tonight. When will McFail learn?
Mchale hates Dwight! Obviously Dwight is a better player than Asik but he keeps playing Asik in the 4th! Time to trade Dwight now! It would be better for both sides. PS. It's a five star thread.
i seriously loved the decision. i am a huge dwight supporter and all for trading asik, but dwight was playing uninspired. He wasnt hustling or trying hard. He was just coasting while we were down. I am really happy about the message mchale is sending. Play motivated ball, or you wont play. NO matter who you are.
Who's going to start a knee jerk thread to trade Dwight, harden, Lin and TJ? Our bench can win without them.
McHale keeping Dwight on the bench must mean McHale thinks Asik is a better player than Dwight. It must mean that.
Notice how it's Asik, Parsons, Casspi, Garcia and BEVERLEY but not LIN? Beverley was the only Chocolate Rocket on the court when McHale goes otherwise all Vanilla. Once again showing how much McHale hates Lin.
Dwight told McHale to do so. In this way Mchale could bench anyone he wants in the near future!!! Smart play by both Dwight and coach!!!
