Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Isn’t the Only Thing Kevin McHale is Ruining
After almost three weeks of an injury keeping him out for most of the time, it would have been wiser to give Jeremy Lin less than 37 minutes in the 111-104 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. A good game from the point guard finally playing in his position was one among a few wasted away by head coach Kevin McHale who simply shows no ability to change, think or react to things during a game.
