    of course, every time the teams looks bad mchale must be fired, and twice when we don't get stops either

    No doubt:mad:. Down four at half in the middle of an 8 game win streak.


    But "offense looked terrible" for a half.

    Should have used the foul to give during regulation. Can't stand McHale.

    This loss was on coach. Never should have gone to overtime. You had a foul to give

    Yeah it had nothing with some of our players not showing up today and missing FT's.

    Even if we had fouled the Warriors may have won. You don't know what the outcome would have been.

    mark jackson consistently got mismatches for lee down the stretch of the 4th while mchale went hit or miss with ISO harden.

    mchale didn't use the foul to give when up 3 at the end of regulation while jackson did when up 3 at the end of OT.

    and mark jackson is very average. just imagine how a good coach will coach circles around mchale in the playoffs.

    this team has ZERO chance of getting to the finals as long as mchale is head coach.

    These players need direction, leadership, INTELLIGENCE from their head coach.

    They had a foul to give up 2 and just don't use it? McHale coaches with his ego and all it does is make him look stupid. He refuses to think strategically and it will not end.


    McHale is the new Kubiack folks. Let's hope Morey isn't the new Bob McNair.

    You make them run another play at that stage. We have lost quite a few games this season not fouling when that would have been the right thing to do

    why not...? If it's time to hail McHale as the greatest thing since Phil Jackson when the team's winning....?

    ISO ball everywhere, no foul on Curry, Casspi too many minutes, outcoached by Mark Jackson....

    you didn't even watch the game. we were up 2 at the end of regulation, not 3. You're showing how unintelligent your blaming is

    McHale's first quarter technical foul cost us the game. If not for that 1 point, we don't even get into overtime!

    Fire McHale!

    I have no idea why D-Mo and Asik didn't get playing time when they were effective while they were in there.

    Amazing that he allowed Howard to post-up as long as he did considering how crappy he was today.

    thanks for correcting my error. however the point still stands that we had a foul to give and mchale fell sleep at the wheel.

    McHale says he wants to cut parsons and James minutes.... Plays them 41 and 40 minutes respectively in regulation . Michael always talks about wanting guys to push the pace and isn't afraid to go small. This game he let the warriors completely dictate the matchups. Instead of letting jones and especially dmo play through mistakes .. He puts in casspi . The same casspi that is completely useless unless he hits 3's. Guess what he wasn't hitting. He didn't go with Garcia who actually played well last night . I don't get it . We had a good rotation going before the break. We start tinkering with it and don't play bev and Lin together as much until we are left with no options. Instead of forcing opponents to match up with us, we are on the defensive. I like mchales philosophies for the most part, but I find a lot of his in game substitutions lacking.

    Don't be surprised if McHale resigns after this year regardless of how the team performs. It's painful watching him trying to walk -- he really needs to get that addressed and it will be hard to do that as a NBA head coach. That and his recent horrific family tragedies tells me he may want to take a break from coaching and spend time at home.

    Obviously, that will open the door for SVG, JVG, or Thibodeau. Take your pick, Morey.

    Keeping Casspi in when the Warriors were getting offensive rebounds again and again was stupid.
