Disagree. Despite the 20 points Parsons was terrible. Committed some stupid TOs and played badly on D. He was also caught sleeping at the end. Yeah that was a crazy shot by Ellis but Parsons was one step too slow. But loss wasn't on him. The game should have never came down to the last possession. We had a 17 point lead.
So McHale just told Lin not to score 29 pts and 9 TO. Harden just scored 25 pts and 7 TO in today's loss to the Bucks. Keeping in mind that Harden is the shooting guard and not the point guard, shouldn't McHale be saying the same thing to Harden?
I think some are forgetting Harden was hurt a lot of the game, he was pretty efficient before the injury.
he did give enough space for monta to shoot that 3. if he had stayed very close, monta would have had trouble to shoot.
Cstyle, I hate to break it to you but that was James you were watching, it's okay, I imagine your stream was as garbage as James' defense and ball-handling today. Anyway, I blame losing our lead in the first half on TRob (-18). I know, he's a rook, in a new system but he looked like **** out there. His minutes should be given to TJones until he gets more familiar with his new team. The second half was lost thanks to the Beard. Those crucial turnovers just kept killing us (trying a no look pass? are you serious?) 7 TOs are just inexcusable but that's not even what bothered me the most about his game today, it was his dumbass defense. Even the Bucks commentators were calling out his matador defense, and how many times will it take for him to stop getting those stupid fouls from slapping arms because he refuses to move his legs? Well, this team always looks a bit lazy out there when they're off more than 2 days, not sure why Im surprised about the loss. I will say those first 7 or so minutes was some of the most beautiful basketball this young team has played, too bad it didn't last.
but he asked for the ball a lot tonight, and that's one of the big reasons we lost. Wish coach did't give him the permission to handle the ball.
True. But it tonight was a prime opportunity for us to move up the standings and ahve more separation afrom the lakers. Lakers are playing the twolves tomorrow and thats probably an automatic win with the way theyre playing right now.
Parsons gets away with playing bad in games. McHale should have given some minutes to Anderson and Garcia.
No. Parsons usually takes about 1/4th of the responsibility. Today he more along the lines of 1/3rd or even 1/2.
