    Sad to see they all say the same thing....except only a few actually have to results to show for it.

    Who needs sticky balls when we have superstars like Lin and Parsons (he's so hot).

    NBA coaches: Hmm... if McHale could get away by blaming sticky ball, I certainly can.

    Move the ball or die. Pop possibly meant that literally about his players.

    If Spurs call their ball sticky...Perhaps McHale should say "The ball cannot be super glued"?

    Difference is Kevin McHale just shrugs when Harden ignores him. Pop would bench the **** out of his players.

    SAS and MIA select high character players who listen to coaches, play team ball and work hard on defense.

    Seriously bro, are you insane?

    Popvich has a advanced offensive system in place, Mchale does not. Mchale just says move the ball, Popovich has an actual system in place.

    Big difference.

    Is this tread dedicated to Mr. Harden?

    Just so wrong in so many ways, and I LIKE Morey... I almost can't believe he meant what it sounded like he was saying... maybe he could claim he misremembered...

    “You ISO it,” McHail said, “Or you die.”

    Who cares if he has a system in place? McHale could be the greatest coach on Earth strategy-wise, but when Harden decides to veto a play McHale just shrugs his shoulders, says "THE BALL IS TOO STICKY" into the Wired mic and let's Harden do whatever the **** he wants.

    Popovich doesn't play that ****. If you cross Pop you get benched, if you cross him again, you get traded.

    Does Morey have the guts to trade Harden?

    It is a maturation process, Hakeem took years to trust his teammates -we will get there.
