    I just think that when Lin had it rolling...keep him in there...let him finish off the quarter and give Harden the break earlier...then at the start of the 2nd let Harden and TD go...there is no reason why both Lin and Harden are on the bench at any time

    McHale and the coaching staff are a joke.

    This game was a blow-out by the end of the first and his BAD DECISIONS let the Sixers come back.

    Every shot of theirs was a bad contested jumper. We had good clean looks at the basket and wide open threes that we just happened to miss but were still up in double digits.

    Fair enough he rests Lin early, even though he has a hot hand, but I thought it was a strategic substitution pattern so that he could stagger Lin and Harden's minutes. Instead he pulls both of them for an extended period of time.

    He let's D-Mo get away with WAY too many rookie mistakes, letting Hawes look like Wilt Chamberlain out there.

    Let's Douglas run the offense?!

    McHale sucks.

    This game is going to take forever. Apparently we foul Philly every trip.

    Absolutely. That's part of coaching. Adjustments.

    If your substitution strategy is rest Lin early so you can stagger minutes, fair enough, but if he's got a hot hand you should probably go with him and ride it and let Harden rest for a bit. Instead he fricken subs both of them?!

    He lets D-Mo continue to make Hawes look like Wilt.

    Uhh absolutely incorrect. Rebounding is not some magical phenomenom that only happens in NBA games, its a basketball fundamental that needs to be mastered where games don't matter.

    Dribbling, free throws, boxing out, shooting are all basketball basics. NBA game time is there to teach you tricks and techniques to be effective again the biggest, strongest, fatest, best, not to learn a basic of the game.

    Good to see Lin continuing his aggressive play and it's always nice seeing Harden getting to the basket at will.

    Good to see Morris score by penetrating from 3 pt line. He needs to able to that consistently.

    as long as bot crawfords aren't officiating the game, harden can get to the line any time he wants, so effortlessly.
