    I've been watching NBA basketball for 52 years and I've never seen a coach as bad as Kevin McHale. I mean I've seen bad coaches in the NBA throughout my days but all of them had some sort of clue. Kevin McHale, on the other hand, has no f***ing clue what he's doing. The fact that Jeremy Lin is getting the minutes he's getting is an absolute travesty. Patrick Beverly is by far the best point guard on this roster and should be getting way more minutes than Jeremy "I don't play a lick of defense" Lin. I think I'm done watching this team until a change is made and if Kevin McHale isn't gone in the next few weeks, that change should probably be Daryl Morey.

    for some odd reason the Rockets (at least some of them) are petrified of the Clippers. Mchale should have started D-Mo in the second Half and let TJ play with the 2nd team.

    we flat lined in the 4th quarter on a b2b, does it really shock anyone when that happens?

    Loss to them without Crawford and Redick. No excuses even with a b2b.

    Funny moment. At first I thought this was going to be another LOF. Then as I continue, it turns out to be complete hate for Lin. LOF and LOH really do annoying say the exact same thing.

    I swear every time Blake Griffin saw that he had Jones on him his eyes lit up and demanded the ball. Jones just bent over backwards today and took it from Blake...

    Stopped reading right there.

    52 years and McHale is the worst coach you've ever seen?

    You obviously have been drunk for 52 of those years.

    he played in an era where the more talented team won games on talent. good coaching didnt matter. who are famous coaches from his era? exactly. but guys like popa and jackson will always be famous.

    also, wasnt he a stop gap coach?

    Since the title of the thread is about the Clippers, I'll say that their interior defense was outstanding. They are very athletic and cover a lot of ground in the paint and in the air. Their athleticism overwhelmed Dwight Howard. Jeremy Lin was one of the few players who dared to go into the teeth of the Clipper defense. He created a lot of nice opportunities and the Rockets could've opened up more space and open shots if they had used him more than 19 minutes. Offensively, it's amazing that the Clippers were able to score with CP3 having a bad shooting night and Crawford out with an injury. They are a very good team that can make it to the western conference finals or the nba finals.

    AND they were short Reddick and Crawford. TJ and DMo won't cut it in the playoffs. Bring in a vet PF and a PG who can orchestrate.

    Bulls fan? I've been a Rockets fan for 51 years so I've seen plenty of bad Rockets teams but this one frustrates me the most because we have the potential to be good but our dumb coach has lost us so many games and has turned a team that should be a championship contender into a probable 2nd round exit and THIS ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!

    his rotation has gotten a little better. he used to pull anyone not named harden dwight or parsons quickly and add pressure to them if they missed a shot. why not put garcia in for a little tonight over parsons? at the end of a long road trip give the man another shot. he played pretty good last time he was in and we havent seen him since. before then he never stopped playing him when he wasnt producing.

    i dont think he is the worst, but he is down there somewhere.

    Pat Beverly is not a PG, he is a defense specialist.
