The funny thing is how 90% of CF flamed McHale for this, but now "they don't play hard enough, have to play harder, show some passion, etc." are some of the most widely used phrases. I always felt the McHale firing was idiotic and that he was partially correct, especially regarding passion and giving 100% on the court every game. This team has talent, but when the players, especially the franchise guy lack the fire and will to win, it's all for nothing.
