    These types of comments are getting annoying. While I agree that McHale isn't a great coach, what exactly do people expect him to say during timeouts?

    All this 'c'mon guys, pick up the pace' talk that you hear from McHale from TNT wired during time outs is exactly the same thing other coaches say in their timeouts also.

    When have you guys actually seen on camera coach Pop or Spo or whoever for that matter, sit their players down with the drawing board and run plays during those 5 seconds of airtime they get during a nationally broadcasted game?

    All I'm saying is, if you're going to base McHales coaching merits on the 5 seconds of 'NBA wired' that you get to see, then you'd have to do the same for all the 'I want some nasty!' speeches that Coach Pop does during timeouts also.

    Bill, Matt and Clyde are talking about Brewer dropping 51 pts on us last night but conveniently left out the name Harden.

    I like our D in the second half, but Pelicans offense just not cooling off.

    If the Rockets lose tonight, McHale's winning percentage as a Rocket will be:

    October through March: .594
    April: .452

    Not a single player from the team that choked out of the playoffs 2 years ago remains except Parsons. Has to be on McHale.

    I like how Bill sounded so genuinely pissed off that Brewer got 51 points, muttering 'Well Corey brewer getting 51, are you kiddin' me....'

    So, I guess Kelvin Sampson was more important than we thought.

    Why would anyone be scared of the rockets in the first place? Did you not see the last blazers game? We barely eat them in ot. Did the blazers not blow us out on national television as well? Why would the warriors who were one of two teams to eat us in february be scared of us? That was the only time they played us with iggy as well.

    You guys act like the rockets were a championship contender before. They've been doing this all season.
