    I agree. Just don’t like seeing the way it’s happening all the time. We run Harden down all game, we blow leads and then hope for the best with him down the stretch. We really have no other option right now.

    You're right we don't. EG and GG have hit buzzer beaters for us, but they can be secondary options at best. Tuc from the corner can be another option to go down the stretch.

    So, MDA is now expected not to just get 'W's, but to be 'impressive' in doing so?
    Give me a break.
    Were you disappointed that he didn't suit up at halftime and start knocking down 3's?

    MDA called timely TO's when the Spurs went on runs?

    What? Are you kidding me? Lmao.
    You need to rewatch the game.
    Let me replay 4th quarter for you:

    8 mins 41 seconds left, MDA called first timeout to bring up Harden, We lead with 90-80.

    3 mins 1 second left, MDA called second timeout when we lost Spurs 1 pt with 96-97.

    Harden saved us and game over.

    So this is what you are talking about timely calling timeout? Lol.

    Harden has saved us multiple times this season and he's had to because guys cant hit open shots and play defense, guess what, calling time outs doesnt mean crap if your squad continues to have sub par defense. That first one was with a 10 point lead so I dont know why you even brought that one up. We are a top 5(and climbing) offense in the league, the roster needs to get a better bench and more adequate defenders.

    Admit it or not, We lost lead many times because MDA has no adjustment.

    We started 4th quarter with 17 pts lead last game against Spurs.

    Anyway, Remlap said MDA timely calling TO last game is BS.

    We lost leads because we have no defense(no rebounds) and dudes miss open shots(also bench needs work) thats not on Dantoni.

    Yea, I know, defense man, defense and missed shots and no one being able to create outside of Harden and Gordon.

    You know what, I feel like ive been stanning for Dantoni lately and you know im just leave that last sentence, we won the game, its all i care about.

    You can say that every game we lost - no defense, no rebounds, missing open shots...

    But our head coach has to do better job. You just cant sit there doing nothing when our guys were bricking and turnover all the time.

    Even McHale knows clapping hands.

    He's stating facts. I don't know why you're being so defensive. Do you think D'Antoni is doing a good job? One of the jobs coaches have is to rally the troops or make adjustments when teams go on runs. Calling a timeout after you've blown a 10 point lead and are down by 1 with a few minutes remaining is beyond moronic.

    This was a win dude. Your hate for both MDA and Harden are well known around here. You will spit this bile win or lose.

    What,..missing open shots happen, but no defense and no rebounds, definetly is a roster problem as well something Bzdellick has to work on. And if that happens every game no amount of timeouts is going to fix anythimg.

    What? What do you even mean by this? Do you want him to suit up himself?

    And how do you know what Dantoni says in the huddle, stop comparing him to Mchale.
