Hope everything is ok...
I would of thought Chris Finch would take over in McHales absense but guess he not ready yet...
Kelvin Sampson will be the head.
Maybe jones, moju, & macahdo see minutes!!

Any word on what's so serious as to take him away from the team? (I'm at work & can't stay online for long. Otherwise I'd find out for myself.)

Rockets McHale to Take Leave of Absence
Kelvin Sampson to Handle Head Coaching Duties
HOUSTON – Houston Rockets Head Coach Kevin McHale will be taking an immediate leave of absence from the team to attend to a personal family matter. Assistant Coach Kelvin Sampson will handle head coaching duties during McHale’s time away. No return date has been set for McHale at this time.
“Kevin is a devoted family man who is needed back home in Minnesota at the moment,” said Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey. “The Rockets organization will keep Kevin and his family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”

In a pre-game interview Carlos Delfino said the following: "We're going to use it as motivation, to do it for him, for his daughter."
...that's not good.
