    No not upset at all. Just saying you don't know why McHale Benched Parsons. Your numbers don't prove anything. Don't pretend they do. Have a nice day and go watch the super bowl. That's what I am doing. Ciao.

    Except it's impossible for Parsons to have been thrown in the doghouse for speaking out against Harden because he never spoke out against Harden. If anything, the actual interview showed Parsons praising the versatility of Harden on this team.

    http://www.csnhouston.com/rockets/parsons-ive-never-won-here

    The Yahoo article completely misrepresents what he said. In fact, the Yahoo article practically made up Parsons' quotes.

    So unless McHale's only source of personnel information is a yahoo article, I highly doubt McHale would punish Parsons based on something he read over the internet. Heck, I don't even think McHale uses the internet.

    The defensive game plan is to hide Harden isn't it?

    I am. Furious to be exact.

    30 minutes of preparation in the half and this what the Broncos do. Really this what they thought to do coming out. This stupid Broncos special teams is pathetic. Somebody needs to go in McHale's dog house for this.

    nothing wrong with benching a Parsons... even chewing him out...

    but you need to put him back in the game... give him a chance to redeem himself...

    if he suck it up again then you pull him...

    what Mchale does is just undermines his players confidence...

    They are grown-ass men, not children. If they can't handle having their "confidence undermined" by being benched when they play poorly then they have no business playing pro ball.

    McHale is their coach, not their ******* babysitter.

    Parsons was playing like he was hung over. I mean, it was really bad. It wasn't missed shots, it was a missing brain.

    It was clear he wasn't mentally there for whatever reasons and the coach pulled him out. I doubt it will change anything.

    Now this I agree with. Don't know if it's true but he looked out of sync and McHale looked annoyed before he subbed him out.

    btw how did this thread have so many post about Lin minutes...

    I am pretty sure most LOFs dont care how many minutes Lin gets...

    rather how he is being used...

    I for one do not want to see a Lin running to the 3 point line waiting to launch 3s

    because I know chances are he is going to stink up a game or play average

    if Rox fans are fine with him running to the 3 point line...

    then all the power too you...

    just dont complain when he sucks at it

    McGenius with another genius coaching move.

    After benching Parsons for his poor play, Parsons came back with a 19/7/6 performance with 0 TOs.

    You act like cp hasnt been putting up those kind of numbers on a consistent basis. If he had dropped 20 and 10 then we can talk

    If our SF is dropping 20/10, I would be concerned with WTH our front court is doing. :p

    19/7/6 is more impressive than 20/10

    Just freakin get rid of McHale already. He is a poor in game coach and especially poor at managing player minutes and line-ups, adjustments...etc. Give him a role as player de elopement trainer or something but just make sure he's in the stands and nowhere near the bench during games.

    Uhhhhhhhhhhh... you are surprised by how much talk there is about Lin's minutes in this thread, but somehow you still state that most of his fans don't care about his minutes....

    As Ayn Rand would say, "check your premises."
