Why is the media making McHale such a big sympathetic figure in all this?

So now you're in favor of the isolation thing and not ball movement?

Harden chokes in the playoffs, so move the fukking ball around before he chokes the entire game away.

Mchale was basically this guy:

The only reason he lasted this long is because of the tragedy with his daughter.
It's not about being in favor of that type of style, the point is that it gave them the best chance at winning games. They didn't have another ballhandler that could split near-equal duties with Harden, like they previously did with Parsons and Lin. Harden may come crashing back down to earth in the playoffs, but it's not like they have a better option.

And it's not about isos, it's about him working off the PnR and finding open teammates behind the arc or finding his big men when the defense collapses. It's certainly not the most effective offensive scheme, but it's the most they can do with the personnel they have.

Not every team can move the ball like the Spurs [who have a handful of shot creators], you have to work with what you've got.

Like people said..because he is one of the best from that era, and he is a nice guy. Other nba players respect him. + when you have probably two of the biggest no fukks given stars, people will side with the coach

McHale my dude....but you right as hell on this homie all day and twice on Sunday.

:rudy: at the monty williams thing. The team is hot garbage with an extremely talented young player. It took the Spurs tanking a game for them to get in and get swept like punk bytches.

Monty williams is a retard and so is Mark Jackson

Cuz his game isnt as flashy as currys or explosive as lebrons. Or because he took the sg throne from kobe. Or because of how he like to spend his time off-court in his own personal life.
no no no

its because he flops. drives to the basket throws up his hands looking for a foul. he flops

plays zero defense. fukkign flops
