The last game was the final straw for me. The coaching staff is just a joke. I would have expected that half way thru the season and after 1st loss to the Thunder, i figure there would be some new game plan and adjustments. Same old Rox.
If McHale were on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, he'd lose if he were looking at this: Category: Method Employed By Sports Team to Stop Other Team from Scoring D E _ E _ S E Pat Sajak: Okay, Kevin, you have thirty seconds. Kevin McHale: Uh....uuuuuuuuh, gosh; it looks so darn familiar. I know this. Pat Sajak: No help from the audience, please. Kevin McHale: Is it 'THREE-POINTER"'? Pat Sajak: (sotto voce) Holy God. (regular voice) Whoops, sorry about that, Kevin. The correct answer was "defense". Defense. Kevin McHale: Gosh, you gotta be kidding. What fool came up with that? Larry Bird never played defense, look how many rings he has. Pat Sajak: Riiiiiiiiight. Anyway. Let's see what you would have won. (opens folding card) Ooooh, looks like you would have won a Trip to the Finals. That's rough. But we have some lovely consolation gifts for you. Vanna, what did Kevin win? Vanna White: Kevin, we have for you a First Round Flameout. Kevin McHale: I already got one of those a year ago, but at least this one's fresh, right? It won't give me the runs? Pat Sajak: What? Vanna White: Kevin, you also win a recurring visitor's job with TNT Thursdays! Kevin McHale: No, I don't want that, I can't understand what Shaq says. All he does is mumble. Pat Sajak: We'll see everyone tomorrow night with our returning champion George Karl right here on.... Audience: WHEEL.......OF..........FORTUNE!
McHale:"To be honest we really don't run that much plays" OK so why are you here? We could sub in Carl Herrera I'm sure the record would be the same.
To develop our young talent like Dmo. Wait no, Morris. No, Greg Smith. Uh...Lin? Jones. There it is! Only took 1 season in the D-league to figure out Jones should play.
did he really say that? the talent is there guys. This team wins on talent. Tired of hearing we need a player that does this, a player that does that... How about run some ****ing plays for once? We have da lead? We will let them come back.
McHale isn't fit to coach high school basketball. Poor rotation, no play calling, no defensive philosophy to speak of. I can't name a single thing McHale brings to this team in a positive manner.
Dwight came because he was unhappy with his situation in LA. He saw an opportunity to play with Harden and good young team. He may have stated publicly that McHale was a reason why he came, but I doubt it was the only factor. Prior to coming here, he never mentioned wanting to play for McHale in any fashion. Even if McHale help us land Howard, what is he doing with him now? We're stuck in the middle of the pack in a tough Western conference. With McHale at the helm, this team is totally confused and lack any form of identity. This team has the worst chemistry in the entire association. You build chemistry by running plays. That way guys know their spots and role on the team. McHale's system or lack thereof, has turned Harden into a Point shooting guard. Lin into a camping out point guard, PB as a none offensive threat PG. Howard into a Power forward center with unclear moves. Chandler Parson into a male model, and Asik into an big ass bench gnome. Again I stand by my comment that McHale brings NOTHING positive to this team.
5th is the middle of the pack? Clips one game ahead of us with DOC RIVERS as their coach..... With McHale at the helm, this team is totally confused and lack any form of identity. This team has the worst chemistry in the entire association. Based off of what? Top 5 offense and 5th in the West conference? We run sets. Amazing how a lack of system can make you a top ranked offensive team.... Do you even watch the Rockets? I don't think you do because Asik has been injured for over a month. I stand by this comment: You bring NOTHING to this forum and are a reason this forum has gone down hill.
Blames McHale for Chandlers good looks, Asik's poor attitude & bum knee, thinks that Dwight is somehow having a poor season in the paint, and thinks Lin just camps out (really… you get 9 shots and nearly 3 turnovers a game by "camping out") …. Ok I'll take some notes- Note #1- people that post in this thread have no idea what they are talking about, need therapy and are typically delusional. Still working on trying to come up with something else of value to note…. …. still trying…. …..still trying…. ……...
Mchale should be fired for burying dmo at the end of the bench all this time...knowing we need all the big man play we can get
Unlike you, I don't get distracted by a win here and there. The goal of the regular season is to position yourself into the playoffs. If 5th isn't middle of the pack I don't know what is??? I not only watch the game but actually understand what's going on which is much more than I can say about you. Asik has the world deepest bruise in the history of man kind, and has nothing to do with the fact that he's been on the pine since demanding a trade. And to your, "we run sets" comment.....hahahahahaha :grin:
Yeah, that's why every player has thrown McHale under the bus and the team as a whole hates each other... on opposite land. Parsons has come out and said this team is the closest they have ever been, after losses players constantly echo what McHale preaches about effort and playing smart when shots aren't falling, and Dwight seems generally really happy in interviews. Also, this team has had one it's best starts in franchise history. Maybe in your delusional state you're seeing something, but the facts do not support you.
