it's not that difficult McHale

how does "a hole at PF" and Beverley have anything to do with each other? and if you are implying that Beverley's talent isn't good enough to win a title, then who do you suggest?

Chris Paul? Russell Westbrook? Tony Parker? yeah, we don't have any of those guys.

Lin's played against Miami. They're the team that put the kabob on LINSANITY.
in the words of Stephen A. Smith, "IT WAS LIKE FRIGHT NIGHT." Lin was completely overwhelmed and exposed by the eventual Champs.

Both Lin and Beverley have a lot of growing to do as young players, but to suggest that there is a chasm in terms of talent between the two is incorrect.

 

i am not here for anyones job, i am just here as an impartial observer.

Godspeed, Houston's Rockets.

 

it's going to be a tough call for McHale, if Beverely is really that disruptive on the defensive end, and can hit open shots and space the floor for Harden and Howard, i could see McHale using Beverely a lot in crunch time.

so it really depends on whether you think it's more important to start or to finish.

 

i watched that whole game, there were a lot of possessions where
Chalmer's single covered him, as well as Norris Cole.

On one sequence, Norris Cole stripped him and DUNKED IT. Norris Cole rarely ever dunks, just goes to show you that these guys really wanted to make a point and put the all the hype to shame.

 

there's no confusion here, a Harden/Howard fusion should be the emphasis.

Let the big boys set the table and feed the surrounding role players.

This isn't Mike D'antoni's system, not everyone should have the green light.

 

it's going to be tough, OKC still has the two best players in the west, though, they don't necessarily play well off of each other.

San Antonio is still the best overall team in the West, with the Clippers and Warriors also rising.

we still need another major piece to fill in the gap between Harden and Howard--at PF.

if things go south, in Portland, i could see them ending the Aldridge era and the same goes for the Pelicans if they realize that Antony Davis should play the 4, next to a defensive Center.

Asik is obviously the odd man out, here. he's the last piece that will decide whether Houston will go from one of the 10 best teams, to one of the 5 best teams in the league.

 

he was not really doubled, they just sicked some doberman's on him and he got rattled.

 

na, the drumstick was simple to eat on the drive, it's the thighs that gave me trouble. i'm a thigh man, but man oh man, eating one while driving is a challenge, indeed.

McHale now has some key legitimate championship pieces. we will now see what he's really capable of now that he has more versatility to work with.
