    Double the offense, half the defense. We still win.

    We'll see how the Rockets play in the playoffs. An early exit or disappointing loss to GSW and Morey might be looking around.

    He should. Coaching is the easiest way to upgrade the team without getting over the salary cap.

    For business purpose, here is the reason I'd give MDA extension.
    State of Texas:
    If Pop's market value is $12 million/year,
    If Rick Carlisle's market value is $8 million/year,
    MDA's market value is $4 million.

    Highly likely, this year will stop at Conference Finals.

    Careful what you wish for, you could end up with a Kevin McHale again.

    I don't understand how people have problems with Mike. Sure we haven't won a championship, but so far under him we've been a top team and been considered a contender. What else do you want? You guys really think there is a coach available that will instantly propel us to win a championship?

    According to some of the clutchfans brain trust...

    With the right rotations, game plan, timeouts and strategic resting it’s possible to go 98-0 every year.

    Luke Walton? Yikes. Might as well trade Harden for Lance Stephenson while we’re at it.

    Rockets long term goals in order of priority:

    1. Be first team to attempt 100 threes per game.
    2. Championship?

    Good.

    The Rockets have a good alignment with Ownership + GM + Coach + Star Player. Honestly, that alignment is rare. It is conducive to winning.

    His lack of coaching adjustments troubles me. He is a top coach, but he is stubborn with his rotations.

    Who do you suggest we get that is going to make us instantly win the championship?

    We have done extremely well with him as our coach and even though we haven't won a championship, our franchise has been successful under his leadership thus far. We are championship contenders again this year even with all the roster turnover.

    Honestly, what else do you want? Who is available that gets us over the top?

    This will definitely be his last coaching job. Notice how few Rockets head coaches go on to have successful careers with other teams after coaching here. This is where you come to end your career.
