    I was super impressed with the coaching from the gecko. Ball movement nice, Harden not pissing me off jacking up three pointer from the woodlands. GSW offense looked terrible out there

    I would not call the team tied for 8th best in a conference of 15 teams excellent. Especially one missing their second all-star and best wing defender in the league who they really could have used to check Harden.

    I have a feeling this team will give us and the rest of the leauge some trouble once Iggy returns.

    The Rockets also have injuries. They are missing their 2nd or 3rd best player, Omer Asik. Jeremy Lin is also out.

    Clearly, McHale was more motivated to beat a fellow contender, so this time he remembered to tell the players to work hard on defense.

    I'm starting to think he should do that every game.

    I know, he wrote: COY

    Beating an excellent team without 2 of our top 6 players.


    So I said they were missing one of their all stars and their backup PG, Iggy and Douglas. I think not having Iggy to check Harden hurt them more than us not having Asik and Lin. Especially when we have Dwight who is the same player as Asik but better along with D-Mo, Beverley and Brooks. We still had 2 PGs who can start while they had no one to backup Curry.

    It looks like you're getting totally sick of the super bipolar schizophrenic crowd that vacates the BBS. This same crowd is the one that takes certain password privileges *ah hem* and chases insiders from the board...:rolleyes::mad:

    Morey needs to bench McHale for his inconsistent effort

    He's not just inconsistent from game to game either. Sometimes from quarter to quarter. He can be one of the best coaches in the NBA, and then suddenly he's a scrub. Every single play, offense or defense, I'm looking to see "Are we getting the good McHale this play, or the bad McHale."

    McHale made Morey expendable. We can trade him for 2 2nd rounders.

    He promised to buy everyone ice cream if they play defense the next game.

    LOL..
    Mchale is mediocre. Though there aren't many good ones around that are available.
    So for the time being, we're stuck with him. If he can somehow turn out to be good, then good for all parties involved.

    Hahaa, Morey is not physically fit for all tasks. Let him do his old job.

    McHale seems to give a consistent effort with developing Terrence. Kudos

    McHale commits a ton of turnover, which you'd think he would've outgrown by now. He's a spazz with clubs for fingers.

    LOL unbelievable

    I think it is more because of huge number of critiques about Harden's effort

    I think he's been doing a pretty good job. We still have a really young team. Mchale has had some good moments this season. He's also a pretty inexperienced coach. He's a smart guy who knows basketball. If we stick with him, i think he will only get better

    What do you think this is, a team full of children?

    He promised to take them all to a strip club if they play defense.

    Harden need Parsons, only Parsons can motivate him.
