    idiot coach. make all the lineup changes you want. if you don't run plays or emphasize D, what's the point of all this?

    kevin mchale is a mercenary sent from danny ainge to ruin the rockets organization

    Only change I see McHale making is starting Asik with Dwight, which means D-Mo will be getting some PT off the bench with Jones!

    If he does the he's an idiot. Asik did nothing to slow down Aldridge in Game 2.

    He should have start Asik + Howard already. What took him so long. Asik is the ONLY person along w/ Howard at least can bother him. And by starting Asik, you don't give up 2nd chance shots. It's a WIN-WIN...wake up!!!

    Harden off the bench. Troy Daniels starts. I doubt he could play worse than Harden

    Let's say we go small, with Howard, Parsons, Harden, Lin and Bev. Who guards Lopez? Harden did guard Lopez for a while in the 2nd game, and he did alright.

    I be Mchale wishes he had Rondo about right now instead of Parsons and Lin. If the rumors were true back at the trade deadline and they didn't go for Rondo only for the account of Parsons then it was a serious mistake. Rondo would actually be setting up Dwight and Harden for easy shots instead of 48 minutes of hero ball.

    the only lineup that worked for him last playoffs was smallball and he's been b****ing about ball movement and stagnation…..so a smallball lineup wouldn't be out of the question

    At this point though, nothing short of a miracle would save McHale's ass, I mean job.

    Can't agree more. I don't think Parsons will be back next season. Asik either.

    But on topic, I'm all for Dmo getting minutes. Just no three pointers, please.
