There is two reasons why we lost this game and why we didn't have a higher seed in the playoffs: 1. The worst system in the league thanks to Mchale- There is absolutely no plays at all. All the Rockets do is shoot threes. If we won't do that, the game is over. When we are stopped at the three, we look lost and can't do anything. As a result of the system: 2. Harden playing hero ball way to much. This goes back to Mchale because the only play we see on Harden is ISO ball which is literally 99.9999% percent of the calls. This loss had absolutely nothing to do with Lin, so please don't blame it on him. We have the worst offense in the league, we just have shooters than can make basketballs. We need to fire McHale and get a coach like Stan Van Gundy. Absolutely terrible offense. I really like Lin, but he had no business playing in this game. He is not fully healthy and there was no reason to allow him to play at 10%.
1. What do you expect? 10 new players right before te season starts and you expect us to have a system? Did you not know that we won over 50 games this season&playoffs? 2. Are you blind? We ran plays 30% of the time. C'mon man! You're right Lin wasn't the probably.. But Greg freakin smith was!! Dude was lolly gagging and tickling ibaka down low!! Did you know OKC is the #1 team out in the west? Yes that means they play offense and hard D!! What do you expect!! McHale won us 50+ games this year how the heck do you fire a coach with 50+ win with the youngest roster and an injuried 6th man and injuried starting PG!! Are you kidding me? Lin was the best PG of the 3 this game!! C'mon man. Pat bev had ZERO assists in over 20 mins and went 4-11. AB0 had a dumb turnover.. Now that uncounted 3 was awesome though!! Whatever you do.. You sir need to stop making threads sit back and start reading them! Thank you and have a good night!
If we're courting Dwight Howard, we're keeping McHale as our coach. He sorta redeemed himself in this series. Maybe the playoffs get his juices flowing. He hit all the right buttons, and gave the right amount of confidence to the guys and deflected any criticisms as well. Except for Games 1 and maybe tonight, he outcoached Brooks.
The reason we lost? IGNORING PARSONS WHEN HE GOT HOT IN THE 3RD AND GOT US A 10 POINT LEAD. He was absolutely on fire (finished 6-8 from 3 I think). We just completely went away from him and as a result got blown out.
we didn't ignore Parson, anyone with a brain for basketball could see that he was being played like we play Durant
I saw him wide open multiple times but was ignored when Harden went ISO. Even if they are playing tough defense on him, you have to find a way to get him the ball.
