    That was the strangest thing, Lin had Lin under wraps. Why would you take Lin out?

    Genius that is Mchale puts Parsons on Lillard rather than Lin who was doing a decent job. (Golf clap)

    that last defense was so porous that it's jarring

    Thats exactly what happen. Bev is on Lillard and Parson is on Aldridge. And they switch.

    Parsons has height but his defense is slow.

    we deserve to lose. it doesnt matter who was on dame, as long they switched on screens. no one switched. my stomach turned when i realized no one was switching. .9 seconds is not a lot of time. fire this jackoff

    Wasn't a bad move. The thinking is that Parsons length would bother Lillards shot. He just got there to late and he Knocked it down. Props To Lillard! The dude is Special!!! My advice to Morey next time it is a PG coming out Oakland, Ca/Bay Area. Do what you got to do to draft him. Payton, Kidd, now Lillard. Good Series!!! Tip your hat to Portland.

    if you watch the replay, parsons wasn't even ready for the play to begin, this is why he was at least a second too late to lillard

    Horrible move. McHale chose to experiment NOW? Be traditional, stick the player with the same speed and same height on him! ACK.

    Mchale just doesn't trust Lin. Even if Lin defended Lilliard very well down the stretch.

    Guys this is not on McHale. I saw Parsons plain as day tell Beverly to switch on the screen right before the ball was inbounded. This was on Parsons arrogance. he thought he could stay with Lillard and truthfully he was 5ft behind the play. True enough a good coach would not have let him switch but, this is on Parsons.

    Well we'll probably have a coaching change, so that's a positive.

    Mchale did not say switch!!! He said "Stay with your Man" and Pat Bev was holding Mo Williams not Aldridge. Dwight had him.

    All on Parsons. I foresaw Parsons being late to react as soon as I saw that set up. I knew Lillard was going to get a good look, was just hoping he'd miss.

    It was Parsons that called for the switch. Bev was on Lillard initially. What I don't get is why they didn't just switch all picks. Oh man.... I don't get it. Just switch all ******* picks. Wow. Just wow.

    Simple play that we couldn't defend correctly. Fire the useless coach

    They were playing small ball that is why it was matched up like that.

    What you mean don't blame it on McHale!!!!? You have a defensive .9 second possession and you are putting your worst defender in, and Jones!? And let Parsons! PARSONS! Run after Lillard!? I mean, like... are you serious!?

    Even Harden played better defense than Parsons this game.
