    I said this exact thing in another thread and some posters mentioned Harden yelling at Capela during a timeout? I didn't see that but what I did see was the Bucks use Lopez as if he was Hakeem and we did nothing to change it. wow....

    And this is where we really miss Gerald Green. MDA might have been willing to bench an ice cold Gordon for Green, but isn't willing to replace him with House, McLemore, or Sefalosha yet.

    Green would have satisfied the 4/5 part of the equation for sure AND we would me markedly better in our scheme.

    He would play a lot of 5 for us...... it's too bad because solving the 3/4 and 4/5 situation would help us more than the sum of the parts.... we don't need stars or players that are flawless, just good fits.... It also would allow us to utilize Tucker better as well.

    It was basketball 101. Milk the best matchup. Teams often forget to do it.. But this is why Tucker is a championship killer. He's just too small on D, and can't hit the 3 from the top of the key.

    I'm not sure if we'd have this conversation had the Rockets made their shots late in the game.

    We all know this team is not a good defensive team, the only chance they win is by out scoring people.

    Two Things about Mike D'Antoni

    1. He doesn't call time outs
    2. He doesn't make adjustments

    How do you homers not get this: then they're not going to win a championship (without making adjustments when needed)?

    Over reaction ….

    They were up 16 to start the second half and Harden , WB and EG all go ice cold.

    giannis got a triple double and he didn't even play the last minute and some odd 45 seconds on the game!

    Looks like the same article about the end of our season. D'Antoni didn't know how to adjust. Another team ran a play that he never saw before and he stuck with his same play that wasn't working.

    On game adjustments, McHale is even far better than stubborn MDA.

    Still remember how McHale make Rockets beat the Clippers with 3-1 leading in that playoffs. We can call that is the game adjustments. MDA has nothing.

    If MDA could coach the best Warriors, he would still lose the championship.

    No he wouldn't. He had his chance in Game 6 vs GSW and did not. Curry/Green PNR over and over and over again. @Nook knows.

    Sign Darren Erman already.

    Elston Turner does nothing to improve this team, downgrade from Bzdelik.

    They could have told Dantoni the play during the time out and still could have used it to sucess.
