Rockets aren't going ANYWHERE with Kevin McHale

[Smook A.]

Literally during EVERY timeout this is what he says: Shoot the ball guys (claps hands 3 times), we need to get going c'mon (claps hands 3 more times), we need to score more points than them and play better (clap clap clap)

Not ONCE does he mention play better defense. When our players play bad this guy doesnt motivate them at all! All he says is "Play better guys"... wtf man!! And he says it in the nicest way. You're not supposed to say it in a nice way!!! Get in their faces! Motivate them to play better! This idiot runs nothing but isos. He draws ponys, and unicorns on his play board. I literally have not seen ONE play on the court. This idiot has the worst rotations ever and his leadership is TERRIBLE! Are you kidding me? With the guys we have we can be better! Down the stretch there are literally no plays drawn!!!! Only isos. ISOS!!!!!!

Fire this clueless moron, I don't fvcking want him on this team!!!! He may have been a good player but holy sh*t this guy is one of the stupidest coaches of all time.


Take a look at this thread made in late 2012. Almost 7000 posts with rockets fans saying he needs to be fired. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=218754&page=332

It's just the way it is. I remember back in the mid-late 90s everyone had an Elway and Terrell Davis jersey. Then after Elway retired and they were relevant anymore you didn't see that shit anymore. People just like rooting for the best pretending they've been through the pain and glory of losing and winning.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

are u all retarded??? howard has nothing to do with it. yes he could hit more post ups but overall hes doing his job well.
this is ALL on McHale and Harden.
Harden is the worst cancer in the league. kills ANY offensive flow every game by ball stopping. he either doesnt pass an entire game and chucks away three pointers or overpasses and doesnt shoot at all. never anything in the flow of the game. when his countless flops dont get rewarded hes USELESS like today( even tho he got some strange calls even today). he is a has a negative impact on the rockets most of the time as he plays absolutely ZERO defense:facepalm

McFail is the most clueless coach EVER. hes ruining Houston just like he did to Minny.he has only two plays. Howard post up, which barely ever works against good defenses and Harden iso, which doesnt work often either and kills any flow of the offense. the rest is senseless passing on the perimeter till someone randomly chucks up a contested 3.
he also has 5 guys at least that play PG. He HATES Jeremy Lin there is no other explanation. Everytime the rockets as a team look great its when Lin dominates the ball and gets everyone involved especially with Howard on PnR. If that works for two games they suddenly completely go away from it and Lin is used as a spot up shooter in the corner again:biggums: :biggums:
u think thats on Lin?? heck no those are mcfails stupid coaching order.

also Rockets are 16-5 with lin playing more than 30 minutes and 9-10 with Beverley playing more than 30 minutes, yet he prefers beverley who rivals Rubio as the worst shooter in the world:biggums: :biggums: :facepalm

oh he also never drew up a good play out of a timeout.
This guy is a complete JOKE and Morey the fat stat nerd isnt much better either.
Rockets will fail to win a Championship because they will hold on to McFail to long:facepalm

Yeah I really hate how Mchale doesn't use the Lin and Howard PnR. Lin is a great finisher and usually always can get the ball to Dwight inside. I can't remember what game it was, but Lin and Howard were both beasting and they looked like they had been running it for years.

that was only two weeks ago against both boston and wizards two games in a row. lin also owned wall and shut him down in the clutch. Lin and Howard absolutely OWNED. Lin completeled absolutely insane passes and lobs and got everyone not only howard involved. Howard had insane finished and was grinning all game.
then right after that Lin parked the entire next game in the corner and since then did so every game and is now a bench scrub again having to fight for every minute while beverley plays 35 minute per game and has 9 PPG on 38% shooting:biggums: :biggums:
Also Lin is now a WAY better defender than beverley so there zero reason to not start him.
i think tho its hardens call who doesnt want to share the ball with lin too and beverley is his biggest lap dog.
really crazy how the rockets are actively trying to destroy lins career and look like idiots in the process:facepalm

[YouGotServed]

Lin sucks. Trade that scrub. He can't shoot, can't play defense, doesn't have a left hand and he can't finish at the rim.

What can this guy do? He's also one of the softest players I've ever seen. He's a soft guard and mentally fragile.

He'll be having an excellent game but gets down on himself after a couple of missed shots or bad turnovers. He plays tentative and that hurts the Rockets offense.

He's a TO machine and has a low basketball IQ. His TOs aren't 'good' TOs either. Most of his TOs come as result of him not knowing what to do when he drives in.

You're supposed to drive in knowing what to do. Either finish with a dunk, layup, floater, tear drop, etc....kick the ball out to the shooters or throw it up so your center/pf can catch it at the rim.

Lin always drives in and jumps with no where to go so ends up turning the ball over. I literally facepalmed not too long ago watching Lin play. The other team's center switched up on a pick so Lin had a mismatch. He drove in but couldn't get by his man lol....he was stuck in the paint trying to pump fake and got called for a 3 second violation.

:facepalm :roll:

This guy is mentally weak. Houston doesn't need him but they're stuck with him because of his contract. lol

[KungFuJoe]

Lin's got obvious weaknesses, but his upside is very high.

The guy can flat out take over a game when everything is clicking. Yeah, he's inconsistent (he's a young player in terms of experience) but let's face it...he already has MULTIPLE 30+ point games and even a couple 30/10 games, I believe. Beverley hasn't even cracked 20 points in a game and I think 8 assists is his career high.

There is no way Bev should be starting over Lin.

Lin is the kind of player that needs support from his team and coach. He had it in NY with D'Antoni and guys like Chandler, Fields, Jeffries, NOVAK, feeding off him.

But, in Houston...he's a red headed stepchild/scapegoat. He's Sampson (**** this guy he's worse than McHale) and McHale's whipping boy.

Today, Lin entered the game with about a minute and a half left in the first. That was enough time to let Harden run about 2 isos before the quarter ended. He started the 2nd and played about 4 minutes. Then he sits the entire quarter and Mchale puts him back in with :36 left? WTF? It's like they're just ****ing with him.

I'm not gonna lie...Lin has looked like shit lately. But who wouldn't? Lost starting job FOR NO APPARENT REASON (remember, he lost it in PRESEASON), gets benched for making defensive mistakes (when guys like Harden play matador defense all game long). Gets benched for bad TOs (when Parsons does the same jump up in the air with nowhere to go and makes at least one or two bad passes a game). Gets benched for shooting badly (Mavs game) when Beverly can go 1-10 and still get 40 minutes.

Dude can't get a fair shake and people just say "Lin sucks". Yeah, I know he's making millions and should be laughing all the way to the bank...but this guy loves playing the game. He's a good guy who just wants to win and do the best he can and his own coaching staff probably wishes he would get hit by a bus, so they don't have to listen about some asian kid getting the spotlight.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

lin has checked out of houston. he improved soooo much in theoffseason again and was one of the best 3 pt shooter in the nba in nove,ber and one of the best PG too. then McFail randomly started to fck with his minutes again and benched him for entire halfs for missing 2 shots while other player are allowed to chuck awayeven when they are 1/7 leven scrubs like casspi.
at this point lin isnt even trying anymore and i cant blame him. he will start to be great again under a normal coach or with another team:facepalm

Don't bother making a logical post, YouGotServed is unable to see past his hate for Lin.

Sampson and McHale need to go. Bring in George Karl or someone, anyone is better than this joke of a coaching duo. Although somehow you guys have our number, but luckily it doesn't look like we'll meet in the 1st round of the playoffs.

[themurph]

The problem with McHale goes beyond his defensive coaching...

He doesn't make adjustments in games...I mean that literally...Houston has to get a real X and O's coach..

[moe94]

This post is so bad it might give you cancer.

[YouGotServed]

I don't 'hate' Lin. You're the self admitted Jeremy Lin stan. It's you who can't be objective about this.

Lin is below average, almost bottom tier, and anyone with common sense can see that.

[Mr Exlax]

Lin has been valuable to the Rockets this season for sure. Back on topic, yes please fire McHale. I only been saying it for 2 years now.

[oarabbus]

I don't 'hate' Lin. You're the self admitted Jeremy Lin stan. It's you who can't be objective about this.

Lin is below average, almost bottom tier, and anyone with common sense can see that.

Lin is below average, almost bottom tier, he has no upside and can't cut it in D1. Not worthy of recruitment/guaranteed spot on a college team. Lin is bottom tier, below average, not even worthy of a 3rd string PG, not worthy of a draft pick. Lin not worthy of being an NBA player, he's a D-League player, send him down there. They've said this for 10 years now and counting :rolleyes:

Correct, I admitted being a stan. I suppose I should have said "fan" because "stan" around here means insane homer. I said he can one day be a 16/7 player and he has the talent to do so. Tell me how Lin does when Harden has sat (and he gets full control of the team and support from McHale, begrudgingly). Hint: The team has a winning record and he averages >20/7. Anyone with common sense can see he's better than Beverley.

I guess that's being an unobjective stan :facepalm

12 and 6 sounds about right for Lin.

:oldlol: He's averaging 13/4 while barely being allowed to touch the ball.

Anyway, so let me get this straight: The problem is NOT Kevin "we don't really run plays" McHale, it is Jeremy Lin sucking being a scrub, holding the team back from greatness and a finals appearance? If they trade Lin for a non-bottom-of-the-barrel PG then the Rockets are in business?

Beverly injured 2 players on accident. Stop acting like he injured the whole NBA you ignorant moron

[SmackOrH.A.K]

He's actually right tho. My biggest problem is that McHale does not know how to draw up plays for Harden. This guy is our superstar and i have never seen McHale draw up a play for him late game situation like spolestra, doc rivers, terry stotts, or george karl.

i wish we had this roster when rick adelman was here, we'd be legit contenders

I know you're upset right now, but you don't really mean this.

Lol nah man. I would. Mike at least preaches defense. We're so skilled offensively that we could get away with him as our coach. He'd hold players accountable and all that. We'd just be lacking in like last second plays.

:lol Cavs are out of the playoffs in the East man, I really don't think you want Brown

[KungFuJoe]

I'd take Brown over Mchale any day of the week.

Mchale is the worst coach in the NBA. He doesn't even try. He's pretty much checked out already anyways. He doesn't even seem like he enjoys coaching. Sampson just seems like a bitter dude...like he really has something against Lin.

The only good thing about Houston underachieving is that it will most likely mean McHale getting shipped out.

Mchale is the worst coach in the NBA. He doesn't even try. He's pretty much checked out already anyways. He doesn't even seem like he enjoys coaching. Sampson just seems like a bitter dude...like he really has something against Lin.

The only good thing about Houston underachieving is that it will most likely mean McHale getting shipped out.
This is so true. McFail doesn't give a fuq

[YouGotServed]

lol

The coaches don't have a vendetta against Lin, thats ridiculous. He simply isn't that good.

lol

If only this could happen in real life.

So Toney Douglas is better than Lin? Because Lin was benched for TD by Sampson. Also Aaron Brooks this year.

[Smook A.]

When we lost to the Thunder in the playoffs this is what McHale said: Those guys just made more shots than us.

In 3 of those 6 games we played against the Thunder the game came down to the final 2 possessions. Thunder won all those 3. We didn't run a single play at the end..smh

KD to Houston is bigger possibility cause him and Harden have love for eachother lol. Not saying it'll happen but there's a chance for anything

That's because Lin was playing like shit.

And why aren't the other starters benched when they are playing like shit?

[oh the horror]

When there are more capable coaches that are currently unemployed then it would be in the rockets best interests to get rid of McHale

[MiseryCityTexas]

Rockets might just fire Mchale if they can't use Mchale to land Kevin Love in the off season.

[oarabbus]

Like who?

Harden vs. LAC (L) 15/5
vs. LAC (L) 12/3TO on 4-15 shooting
vs. PHX (L) 14/5TO on 3-17 shooting (wtf)
vs IND (L) 12/5TO on 4-13
vs OKC (L) 8pts on 22% shooting
vs BOS (W) 15/7TO (clearly 7TO is unacceptable for Lin, just fine for Harden)
vs. MEM (L) 10 points on 18% shooting


Parsons vs. OKC (L) 14/4TO on 30%
vs. GS (W) 8 points on 23% shooting
vs. MIL (W) 8pts on 30% shooting

Pat Bev vs. Lakers (L) 3pts on 10% shooting
Vs. Sac (L) 6pts on 28% shooting
Vs. Mem (L) 3pts on 9.1% shooting
vs. Mem (L) 9pts on 27% shooting

In the first Memphis game Lin (66% shooting,1 more ast than Bev, 2steals vs Bev 0, ) gets benched for Beverley shooting 9.1% :roll:


Just to name a few.

[MiseryCityTexas]

The problem is Daryl the moron Morey.


Morey is the only reason why Howard, Harden, Jones, and Parsons are all on the same team. You're the real moron.

[InfiniteBaskets]

Lin is a great playmaker, but Harden is a better one. When Harden plays alongside Lin, he turns Lin into a spot up shooter, that's IF Harden hasn't drawn a foul.

Last year I think Lin and Harden were able to mesh together all right, but this year Dwight's demanding more touches, and Harden's usage isn't going to be the one that suffers.

I understand the reasoning for starting Beverly, to cover to Harden's defensive deficiencies. However, that essentially means Lin will either have to play alongside Harden at certain points during the game, or he'll literally only play 5-10 mins a game.

What the Rockets need is either a revamp in offensive system that allows Harden to be the cutter and spot up shooter. Or get a PG that plays great D and is a solid 3 point shooter.

[YouGotServed]

lol Harden is the franchise player. Of course he's not getting benched for having a bad game.


You're comparing Lin to Harden.
Are you really this dense?

:oldlol:

Too bad your franchise player lays an egg any time there is a big game... 2x vs OKC, 2x vs LAC, 1x vs IND...
Obviously Lin isn't as good as Harden. But you might want to send a message to your franchise guy when he's getting lit up by Redick (or Stephenson) and turning the ball over and bricking 70% of his shots while not playing defense. Some of those are bench worthy performance. Even Kobe was benched by Mike Brown the season before last. In any case, I was never suggesting benching Harden for Lin. Don't try to make it look like I think Lin is as good as Harden.

Anyway you didn't answer my question. Why aren't Parsons, Jones, or Beverley ever benched? Even when Beverley is shooting 9.1% and Lin is shooting 66% and moving the ball around? :oldlol: Ride the hot hand right?

Rockets basically should have just kept Dragic. Rockets could have kept Dragic for pretty much the same amount of money they used to overpay for Jeremy Lin.

[oarabbus]

Didn't Dragic not want to play because of McHale? Or was that Lowry? Or both?

He left because of McHale.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Didn't Dragic not want to play because of McHale? Or was that Lowry? Or both?


It was Lowry that didn't get along with Mchale on the Court and in the lockeroom. Dragic and Mchale's relationship was great but turned sour, and became disappointed at Mchale and Morey because they decided to sign Lin instead of signing him to another deal.

[InfiniteBaskets]

Didn't Dragic not want to play because of McHale? Or was that Lowry? Or both?

I think Lowry was upset b/c Dragic was going Linsanity to his Baron Davis for a while. Lowry wasn't going to come back to Houston no matter what. Not sure why Houston didn't re-sign Dragic though, maybe thought they weren't going to go anywhere with just Dragic and Kevin Martin?

But then they went out and paid $$$ to both Asik and Lin, so I dunno. But to be honest, even Dragic wouldn't be doing well in this current system where Harden would relegate him to spot-up shooter.

[MiseryCityTexas]

He left because of McHale.

Dragic wanted to stay in Houston, but Mchale and Morey was like that's alright.

[ronnymac]

He left because of McHale.
Why do you have to talk out of rear end. Dragic LOVED PLAYING FOR McHale. The issue was he wanted a 4th year PLAYER OPTION AND MOREY SAID NO. That's a mistake that will haunt him forever. As Lin is a scrub and Dragic is getting better and better.

BTW, you are a lin ony fan and stop pertending to be a Rockets fan. We used to have the same problem with this retard called Rocketsgreatness who was a yao stan.

[YouGotServed]

lol You're right. im surprised the other rocket fans didn't know that.

Dragic wanted a players option and a guaranteed starting role.

morey wasn't having it so they let him go. Lowry was mad because dragic took his spot as the starting PG so we traded him. the Toronto pick was used in the harden deal.

and yes Lin is a below average PG, he should be glad morey was the one who threw all that money at him.

How mad are you right now bro? :oldlol: Beverley gets benched, in fact he came off the bench for a whole season. I don't recall Beverley ever getting down on himself for playing behind Lin. Parsons doesn't become a useless spot up shooter like Lin when his shot is off. He finds other ways to contribute.

Until Lin shows some consistency and some heart, he's not getting any minutes. He needs to stop playing like a bitch and let the pair drop.

[MiseryCityTexas]

i wish like hell that the Rockets can make a asik and lin for rondo trade. hell, an asik and lin for green trade even sounds nice right now.

I honestly never understood why we wouldn't give him one. He showed he had skills. I just can't wrap my head around it.

Oh I dunno. I'm sure he did though.

[ABfor3]

Spo preached defense though. That's why he was ok. We don't need a really good offensive coach. We need one that preaches defense. Fuggit give me Mike Brown right now.
This. Defense has been a major concern all year, McHale obviously hasn't seemed to enforce that into the teams priorities. Jeff Van Gundy would make Harden play some defense because he did that with TMac except TMac actually cared about defense somewhat. Also, McHale needs to stop letting Harden play hero ball and get his teammates more involved..get plays setup and run behind some screens. There's so much potential with this team it just needs to be utilized correctly.

[KungFuJoe]

Problem with Houston is a simply the coaching squad. Not that the current squad has any chance of winning it all...but this is a team that is supposed to get out of the first round and MAYBE make it to the conf finals. As it stands, this team is getting booted in the first round. They are playing WORSE as the seasons goes on, which you shouldn't be seeing on a team this young with this much talent.

And in what ****ing universe does Beverley start over Lin? Oh...in Houston, I guess. :facepalm

[KungFuJoe]

And YouGotServed...I know you're trolling, but I'm gonna reply anyways.

Lin already has multiple 30+ point games and has posted lines of:

34/12
28/14
27/11
38/7
28/8
38/7
28/9
29/7

I don't care who you are...no scrub puts up those stats. And it wasn't all just during Linsanity. He put up a few of those lines last year and the 34/12 was this year.

Yeah, he looks awkward at times...but goddamn look at his upside. Any coach would be dying to have this kid and try and turn him into a good, solid 18/8 player. Except McHale. You know why? Because McHale already cut him before. Every good game Lin has is like a slap in his face.

[wakencdukest]

When our players play bad this guy doesnt motivate them at all! All he says is "Play better guys"... wtf man!! And he says it in the nicest way. You're not supposed to say it in a nice way!!! Get in their faces! Motivate them to play better!





C'mon, a coach can't even look at a player wrong anymore, and you think Dwight will respond to this?

[Mr. Jabbar]

You guys are going nowhere when your two best players are proven cancers and betas, I'd like to add Dwight's defense is overrated as phuck pretty much a myth at this point. Mchale doesn't help either. Consider yourselves lucky if you make the playoffs.

Most disappointing team last season: Lakers
Most disappointing team this season: Houston

Common denominator? Clownward

[YouGotServed]

Lol at kids on a message board thinking they know more than an NBA coach.

Lin is definitely playing like a scrub right now. Perhaps if you take off your Lin homer glasses you might be able to see that.

[imnew09]

Lin is good but the problems are Dwight and Harden. They can't coexists.

[I.R.Beast]

I still can't believe the idiot starts Beverley over Lin. Smh :facepalm :facepalm
the rockets are one of the worst defensive teams in the league....that's why he starts beverly ...his defense on opposing PGs is crucial especially with harden not playing any defense... As far as the offense goes.. Chandler parson should be getting more shots....he's very efficient and skill and is the most consistent player on the team.

[oarabbus]

He's a pretty damn good player, surprised it took people this long to realize he is better than Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler. But he's taking 13 shots/game, how many do you want him to take? I don't think he should be averaging more than 15.

[ronnymac]

Lin is good but the problems are Dwight and Harden. They can't coexists.
Now that Is a comment coming from an idiot who has clearly not watched many Houston games. Harden and Howard are actually looking pretty good together as a combo. Harden has been finding Howard regulary off the high pick and roll for a lot of easy ally oops and Harden is probably the Rockets best post entery feed passer to Dwight.Right now that is not the problem.


Houstons current issues stem mostly from key injuries to multipale key players. Houston has no backup Center, no backup SG and the backup PF is a tweener who shoots a lot of threes.Once Dwight sits Houstons interior D crumbles.

Another issue is that Houston has two below average PG's and until Morey decides to either trade Asik and pray someone is foolish enough to take Lin, this wont change.

[Micku]

I haven't been watching a lot of Houston games lately. So, what's up with them? Do they look better or worse from the start of the season?

I think they have talent, but they can't manage them property. They seem to be destine to face the Clippers in the first round, unless Portland or the Spurs fall off. I don't think they could beat the Clippers since they are better offensively and improved defensively now and they have CP3.

imo coachin is OVER rated in the pros. think about it.

when has a GREAT coach won an nba championship with a team full of mediocre players?

we see it all the time in college but never in the pros.

bottom line u gotta have talent...and whn I say talent I don't necessarily mean Jordan,bron, or kobe talent but u need talent that can mesh with other talent. kinda like its been wit timmy in san Antonio.

believe it or not coach pop aint winnin shit if u give him that Milwaukee bucks roster. he might get them to the playoffs....but don't bet on it.

is McHale a top tier coach? nope

but in all honesty he shouldn't have to be to lead this team to at least the wcf.

harden has top sg in league potential

u got 3 solid pgs

parsons is a white scottie pippen....he just stuffs the stat sheet and can play with the ball and off it effortlessly.

Dwight who is still a nightmare for any center in the league even tho he lacks any skill.

if anything blame Dwight...if he was a balanced center who could put his back to the basket...they would be pretty unstoppable but at times the rocket rely on jumpers too much because howard cant give u an easy 16 a night by just posting up and getting. harden should be able to walk the ball up court and just dump it low to Dwight for an easy 2 at least on 8 possessions every night and on some nights even more.

[Sharmer]

Their talented and can score a heap.

Wouldn't write them off yet.

IMO coaching matters when the two teams are almost equally talented. Like deep in the playoffs, when the individual matchups favour neither of the teams, it comes down to what rotations the coach decides and which lineups to put out there that wins or loses the games. Of course, if your team is crap (Doc Rivers with Orlando) it hardly matters how good the coach is, but if the team is facing an equally good opponent, then those little things, when to call timeouts, what plays to draw out of hte timeout, the inbound plays, those htings start to matter.

They don't give free throws for throwing yourself into the defense. And if you flop, you get a technical foul.

In fact, he would probably be suspended by the league within 2-3 games.

Other than that, he has no offensive skills to be able to score in Euroleague. NONE. NONE. NONE.
