I respect him and his accomplishments. But when it comes to chess games that are part of playoffs (with one coach trying a strategy and other countering and so on) - until I see it -- I am going to be uneasy with McHale. McHale does counter effectively but he delays too long before doing it. It's like he doesn't trust his instincts.
We just need to get a rhythm going. We were one James Harden layup away from taking out the Spurs in game two. I think we are going to be okay. All that said, I think we should give Nick Johnson, KJ and Clint LONG looks before the playoffs start. We are sorely lacking on youthful intensity and effort.
