    Right now "off with his head" Im sorry but this game was more important for me then the playoffs. 1 because we play SAS. 2. LA always gets a 1 up on us, and for once I wanted to have the last laugh

    Mchale's inability to find the right rotations. Mchale's inability to form an offensive/defensive scheme. And iso ball with Harden.

    Off topic- If you're going to dribble the clock out then at least have the balls to take the low percentage shot. Don't pass the ball off and throw your teammates under the bus.

    Offensive strategy was absurb...I'm sure most of us could formulate a strategy and diagram more advance plays than Hack McFail...I mean, what the heck makes him a BBall guru? That he had some great post moves, and played tough defense? Last time I checked, those skills don't really involve BBall IQ. I mean, Shaq was a great post player and played tough D...do you want him coaching your team?

    Mcfail is the reason we lost.

    Regardless, we ain't gonna get past first round.

    Calls could have been worse, we didn't play well enough to win, really. 5 fouls early hurt, but we had our chances and made poor decisions with the basketball.

    This is really what I'm sick of most, and he's really been doing it a lot lately...that **** really isn't cool. If you're a superstar, you don't dump it off to a covered perimeter player with 3 seconds left...take the shot yourself or dump it to the post.

    Great coaches call time out: Players execute a play and score majority of time.
    McHale calls time out: Harden comes out ISO and score sometimes.

    It's a young team. But the final 15 or so possessions were almost exclusively perimeter ISOs for Harden, Lin, Parsons. No effective picks and screens. I'd put it on McHale for inability to offer a viable option there.
