    Throw Battier a good offer and have him come in as our defensive analytics dude.

    As much as I would love to see the Van Gundy brothers here, I'm more afraid of star players demanding trades. We do need defensive coach that works with what the offense offers. Tonight was embarrassing. Will need Harden/Westbrook stamp of approval before hiring new coach.

    We need a MAN like Bill O’Brien to run things here. His players love him
    And would do anything for him.

    JVG is my favorite Rockets coach of all time (even over Rudy :eek:)

    I couldn't even fathom the type of joy I'd have if I heard we signed him as head coach

    I don't think can van gundy will make a difference this year. His defense is about attitude and the desire to do a certain things like hedging on a pick and then running back to your guy or having the attitude to be the best at defensive rebounding. You can be teach that stuff midseason. Plus what would be the point of Westbrook with van gundy, he is never going to want to play uptempo

    harden is a top 5 offense by himself. surround him with defensive players, size, and a defensive coach.

    JVG would probably do it just because of how much he loves Houston but scumbag Tilman will never fire Dantoni since then he'll have to pay two head coach salary at the same time!

    Things got reversed a little bit
    JVG' breathless D scared away our fans who looking for fun w/ pop corn, in the mean time frightened our opp
    Now, MDA' run n gun system make most of our games flowing, prolific and beautiful…however this rox team got choked easily other than making our opp breathless and hopeless

    Van Gundy isn't going to mind Westbrook being aggressive and pushing the ball up at a fast pace.

    One reason he was afraid to do that as a Rocket head coach is that Yao couldn't play that style of offense.
