He's not afraid to shoot. It's just when he shoots and miss (twice in a row) that McHale takes him out of the game. McHale is a ****ty ass coach. McHale sat him in the final minute against the Wizards.

Stupid.

Lin is a superb defensive player. Why the hell would you take out your top defensive player and replaced him with a freaking 2nd string player.

Especially when your go-to-guy is Harden. McHale is a lousy coach.

Yup. McHale is an idiot. In the 1st quarter he took him out when Lin missed 2 shots, he totally ignored that the offense was flowing and Lin already had 3 assists. Lin did look a little gassed but as Breen would say, he is just one of those guys that always looked spent.

McHale also did not give Harden a break in the 2nd half. Unbelievable.

Here is a quote from McHale after the Net game. Now we know why he stopped shooting in the Wizards game.

Kevin McHale won’t make the same proclamation about Lin. Not yet. The Houston coach calls his playmaker “a home run hitter,” and doesn’t mean that in a good way.
“Sometimes he’d rather have 29 points and nine turnovers and I tell him, ‘Jeremy, we’re trying to win,’ ” McHale said.

I love that from McHale...Mchale is part of the reason Boston has 17chips he knows the game. He's trying to TEACH Lin. You gotta stop being so overly sensitive in how he deals with him. You act like a bully walked up to you during lunch time and took what he wanted off your tray, every time things aren't to Lin's advantage... get a grip.

We know you like Lin, we get it.... but try to be objective if you it's even possible you can be

Big Lin fan and I can't refute that, but is that overly sensitive? Lin detractors claim he is afraid to shoot or he is this and that. Just pointing out that the coaching staff is the reason Lin sometimes does not produce.

Also, have you ever seen a good coach do this to one of his players? Popovich was extremely hard on Tony Parker. This was well documented, but in interviews he will never rip Parker. He always took the blame.

Also, I critique Lin when he is not doing good. If you think I am not doing that enough then my apologies. I will a little better next time.

Pop doesn't wait for papers to be written....instead during in game ESPN interviews he'll Rip them or the player during in game interviews will fess to him ripping them or when he subs them out he'll make them have a seat right next to them a rip their face off.

Does it really matter? Like I said get a grip, you act like you're waiting any day now for Lin to call and ask you out but he hasn't yet.

Alright. You are getting a little childish here. Thanks for the reply and have a nice day.

Anybody catch the Rockets/Wizards game? Bradley Beal is the truth. Damn. He is having a great run the past few weeks. I think if he didn't get hurt earlier he would be in contention for ROY. In the Rocket game, he reminded me a little of Joe Dumars.

ahah. Too funny. Great quote from the head coach.

Yeah. McHale is getting blasted in Houston right now for that one. Lin actually shot .545 in that game and only had 3 TOs to go with 8 assists and 6 rebounds. McHale throws Lin under the bus anytime he gets a chance. Never seen a head coach single out a player as much as McHale does with Lin this year.

Pops with Tony Parker. You never know what the team is supposed to run and what McHale expects versus what the PG is doing, in spite of points and TOs and assists.

Beal is great. Reminds me of Joe Dumars

Yeah he's hurt but Denver has on their track shoes tonight....lol

Gay played like pure trash too. Everyone is a superstar versus the Knicks.

Speaks volumes about this team more than anything else....

No. It's because we were blowing teams out early on. So guys bring their "A" game against us. Same thing happens with Miami.
