Well apparently you should have used reading comprehension when you and FTWROCKETTROLL agreed to this statement
For all the milk hair apologists that say, "Mchale knows more about basketball then anybody here". I agree and say back, so does Clyde Drexler but it doesnt make him a great commentator and it sure as hell didnt even make him a decent coach. Milk hair = mark jackson
I have noticed that all of the arguments in defense of McHale are either straw man or total logical failures. Harden has only had McHale as a coach in his time here. There is no telling what he could do with someone else at the helm. Look at Golden State, they were great with Mark Jackson weren't they. But yet somehow they are even better under Kerr. No one is saying that it's all Mchales fault. I think you guys are forgetting the big picture. WE ARE TRYING TO WIN A CHIP. We trade players all the time so the idea that we are only blaming McHale for loses is ridiculous. If anything McHale gets away with far too much.
Clyde was terrible at UH level college bball.... Give McHale a bit more credit or find a better analogy. Fact of the matter is, McHale hasn't run out of time in Morey's eyes. Thibs and Scott Brooks ran out of time and got replaced.
The Golden State thing.... McHale lovers just don't get. Even though it's staring them right in the face. You honestly can't even defend McHale at this point. 'It's just one game' Actually no it's been years of this incompetence. And it hurts much more now because we're at the door of greatness. But coach McHale won't open it for us.
How many championship teams have lost the season opener at home against a team like the Nuggets by 20? I'll wait..
Also in reply to dmoneybangbang, this thread is not only up during losses, go back through the thread and do your research.
That's the kettle calling the pot black. That's right, there is no telling; it could better with another coach or worse. Here's the deal, you need to ask Morey what he sees in McHale and why he hasn't ditched him when he could have done so after Portland. I stand by Morey and his decision making. Is Morey infallible, hell no, but he's much smarter and has greater resources to make a better decision. I think YOU guys are forgetting how well our front office is being run.
Take it up with Morey then. I stand by that dude and his decision making over folks who don't have an ounce of the same amount of resources at their disposal. All I know is that had a FIRE ADELMAN thread too and that dude is a HOF level coach so you'll excuse if I side with our FO over the folks at the FIRE MCHALE thread.
Like I said, all that basketball knowledge didnt even make him a decent head coach. He was hired by a college to coach, therefore making the transition easier in my opinion as a player to coach. I dont get your point but here goes Spoiler Isiah Thomas as NBA Coach Hubie Brown as tv analyst/commentator Clyde as a commentator Kurt Rambis as a NBA coach Jordan as an owner/GM Bart Starr as an NFL coach Maradona as a soccer coach Mike Singletary as a NFL coach Wayne Gretzky as a NHL coach Just because youre skilled/knowledgable in a certain area doesnt make you a great teacher of that area.
Right. And how much success have those men had post player days? But I'm sure with how Morey built the coaching staff around McHale, all the team's success is in spite of the entire coaching staff Morey assembled.
So how about y'all email Morey and ask him what's the deal? One loss and the typical folks are in the streets yelling how we can't win a championship.
I said those teams seemed hungrier than the Rockets. I'm not seeing how that's slope fallacy. Are you telling me that's false? Did the Rockets look hungry for a championship yesterday? Did you watch the SA OKC game. Your straw man BTW is that you think we think it's totally Mchale's fault and we never blame the players, that's a flat out lie and no one in here has argued that it's all on Mchale. That's like saying we blamed only Pablo Prigioni for the losses last year because we let him go in the offseason. It's also a flat out lie that Daryll Morey can't find a more competent coach than Mchale. Your defenses of Mchale argue against an extreme version of what anyone has said against him because that's the only way you can win the argument. Call us stupid, attack our character and try to paint anyone who argues against Mchale as an extremist, it's ridiculous.
Hey Brewer missed 5 point blank layups, that's clearly on the Coach. Get him out of here ASAP Morey. McHale needs to teach Brewer the fundamentals of making a layup.
