Coach is to blame here. I know Harden had probably the worst game of his career, but the Rockets were still in the game. Even at Harden's worst, there were situations where a good coach would have put the pieces together to overcome. There was an opportunity in the 4th quarter where the Rockets were down by 4 and they were not settled. They were turning the ball over and making some very bad decisions. A time-out here to MANAGE THE TEAM would have done wonders. This was the opportunity for the coach to call time-out and settle his team in. But you know what McHale does?? He waits until The Warriors' 4 point lead turn into a 13 point lead and then calls a time-out. A Good coach would even sit Harden down. The turnovers were not only on Harden, but the coach too. He let Harden stay in the game vs. making adjustments or motivating him to push through. Harden has probably his worst game, but the team was still in it. There were times in the game where the players look over at the bench and expecting a time-out and McHale does absolutely nothing. Get his arse out of here. Do what you can to get Tibs because as long as McHale is the coach here, this team won't do jack!!!
why are there no videos of playof (coach) McHale? Seriously though. This playoff run cemented his meddle for me. I hope his strict rotation carries into next season to help preserve Harden. Would love to see Brew return and add a sniper to the wing mix. Thank you rockets
Forgot to tell the OP to suck it. If they can staple a hair piece on a cadaver and have it coach it's way to a WCF, surely Frankenstein will have his day...
No double team on defense, and worse, he did not run Curry into screen after screen, the Rockets run some of the worst offense I have ever seen, only surpassed by their lazy defense. If this team had a coach like JVG we would still be playing. DD
It takes a deadly combination to perform this bad, Harem, Coward, and McFail are to blame. One hogged the ball, another one is too lazy to even improve on free throws, and the final one doesn't even know what he was doing.
