jtr, I've been through all this before with you. You sounding incredulous at anyone who disagrees with you is so tiresome. "Wow...just wow!" As if it's asking too much to have a coach actually make in-game decisions based on what he sees. I don't care what the numbers show about past performance...if you see a guy on the court who that day, for whatever reason, looks lost..or timid...you get him out of there, because he's not giving you your best chance to win. The most flexible component of any system is generally the strongest component. Flexibility is a strength. Being rigid is typically a weakness. Relying on numbers above all else and in every situation is ridiculously dogmatic and limited. I simply disagree with your opinion. It's ok. None of that makes me right..or wrong..or important...or anything. I simply disagree.
Can't argue with your attitude and life philosophy haha, though I still disagree with your coaching premise and your last conclusion because technically, in most situations, someone is right and someone is wrong -- we just don't often initially know which is which
Of course Morey would say that. Do you think he'll say, "Lin sucks. We drastically overpaid him and are now praying we could actually trade him."
yeah man it's not like he was 4th in WS last year behind harden/parsons/Asik in his first year as a starting PG coming off an injury that made chris paul look like cliff paul morey is obviously just pulling the wool over us so that we can trade him away with a 1st rounder/unicorn horn attached. I've no doubt Morey could've puled the trigger on some shump/etc trade at the deadline but unlike some here actually sorta values what Lin brings to the team despite his contract/inferior yet at times effective skillset overlap with Harden
Wow....just wow...the Clown ur talking to had helped the Rockets win a lot more than u can think of...unlike "some" genius keyboard coach/analyst that lurks here in the GARM... Your post lost its credit at the second sentence...the main problem of Lin is not him getting blown by the opponent "regularly" but his over-helping in their defense which sometimes leaves his man open..plus, he is the type of player who watches the ball movement instead of focusing in his defensive assignment..sometimes it's beneficial to the Rockets sometimes it's not..Lin is a good on-ball defender if he will just focus on it..his defense is underrated in this forum...
Some of you hating fans sure are experts at the game of basketball (experts I tell you). Let's see if your thought process changes when "McFail" takes the team on a good stretch (your thought processes won't change though...).... Be thankful. 1 star thread is 1 star.
To answer OP's question, spoelstra made adjustment to rox big and heat went small, spoes strategy was working and so mchale went small to match adjustment. We just couldn't adjust to the refs calls. Check twitter posts.
