    So much negative energy about this hire. But there is a chance for things to work better, no? It's not like things can get worse.

    The Rockets might score over 150 points a game. Harden might break Wilt's record. The Rockets will still lose games by 30 points.

    So there's that.

    Everyone loved the Lawson trade and that became a dumpster fire.

    Everyone hates the D antoni deal so maybe it will somehow workout ?

    The "D" in D'Antoni stands for Defense right?

    Right??

    Positives

    1. Offensive structure
    2. ATO genius
    3. Space galore for James to work

    *all contingent on having legitimate floor spacers tho.

    We won't have to worry about Free Agency much any more. We also won't have to watch games past April. It gives us more time to enjoy the outdoors! Hopefully the Rockets are offering refunds on season tickets because this is a bait and switch.

    I think he'll be fine. I do not think he's the type of coach you need to truly excel. The Rockets standards are not high enough.

    Coach: Guys, you know what to do right once we cross half-court?
    Team: Pass to Harden and watch.

    Coach: I'm glad we cleared that up.

    you KNOW this had to have Harden's seal of approval on it. Which automatically makes it a Good Thing. :grin:
