    Timberwolves fans long time ago knew that McHale did not know that much of the XOs. Typically, it is the assistant coaches that draw plays.

    There are lots of young players on this team, you have to wonder if it is better to bring a system coach in.

    A good coach? try saying that to any basketball fans in MN. You could get punch in the face. He ruin a franchise.

    Chandler had a great game but he isn't a play maker. Terrible play call but McHale, as he has stated so many times, really doesn't have that many plays. Another big part of tonight's game is that Howard and Harden didn't play well enough to give Chandler some help. Bev was really off too.

    Sad that Dwight can't challenge shots because of fear of foul trouble

    Yea, even on his worst shooting nights he can still get to the line, rack up steals or make plays for others. That's one of the reasons why I am such a big fan, he always contributes.

    Everybody could get a bad night. PB is just a role player and when he is open, he got to shoot. It is the coaching what cost us the game.

    He may deserve to start, but on a night like this, he doesn't really deserve to finish.

    LOF's be trolling.

    Here, you should check this article out, it explains why Beverley deserves to start. It was written by Clutch.

    Anyway, I came home late and saw the Rockets down by 11 at halftime, and decided not to watch. I'm glad I didn't. Not having seen this game, it's clear to me the Rockets just didn't bring it tonight.

    Very disappointed in James Harden tonight, only 10 shots? I don't care if he missed all 10 of them, only 10 shots shows he wasn't being aggressive.

    Same for Dwight. You aren't gonna win many games if your star players can only muster 10 shot attempts.

    Rockets still have yet to turn that corner this season and figure things out.

    Only problem is Lin has played better defense than Bev this season.

    Lin should of never been taken out with 3 and a half minutes in the 4th Q if Lin played like Bev did 2nite he would of been benched the entire 4th

    Chandler can be a playmaker, just not at the end of the game when the defense is geared specifically to shut him down. He's better as the guy you want to take the final shot after receiving a good pass. In tonight's situation, Harden or Lin should've tried to create by driving it in and kicking it out to Chandler or Bev.

    You also forgot to mention that most of those 24 points was when Lin was guarding him, Pbev only played around 25 minutes that game. As soon as Lillard saw that Lin was guarding him his eyes lit up.

    PB is a bench player. He can't pass. All he's good for on offense is spot up threes.

    Yes, but the likelihood of success is better than taking a contested 3.
