Phil Jackson is the best coach available for Yao/TMac

I do.

 

Even though you're going to get bashed for starting a new thread, I agree with you.

JVG's offense isn't going to get us anywhere, period. You're right, PJ's triangle offense makes the ball go through Yao and TMac everytime. JVG just passes the ball around the perimeter for 20 seconds and then looks for someone to jack it up at the end.

 

9 games with a 4-5 record = major overhaul of coaching staff

 

Isn't there already one JVG bashing thread wasting space on the first page?

 

I dont want to jump on the bandwagon but I wonder if JVG can take the next step to the championship.

In his days with the Knicks he had Ewing/Starks/Spree/Houston (pre injury I might add)/Johnson.. and he couldnt get it done.

Right now we are looking like Spurs Lite or Lakers Lite (pretrade) without the supporting cast.

im starting to have doubts if JVG is the guy that can take us their.. It doesnt have to be PJ since im not really a fan of his (though I believe he would do a better job than Alcohol Fetal Syndrome Baby)

I agree with you 110%!!!

Do you Houston built the great big Toyota Center for nothing!?!? So they can only fill it only to half capacity?!?! So people can see Rox score only 80pts a game, and play catch-up every night, or barely squeak by with a win only when the opposing team makes mistakes??

I think we should all write emails to Les Alexander and phone the front office to demand they get rid of Van Grumpy and his low scoring zero-domination offense!!

I want to see Rox score 100pts every night, Toyota Center packed every night, Yao and T-Mac making double doubles every night, Yao and T-Mac on Sports Center every night!!! Anyone who think that's gonna happen under Van Grumpy, has been drinking Van Grump's coolaid!!

The Rockets Yao and T-Mac and Toyota Center DESERVE a coach a THOUSAND times better than Van Grumpy!!!!!

 

Cool it off, will you. Every team in this league loses to bad teams once a while in a season. I bet Gundy will stay put in the coach's seat till the end of his contract.
It will be funny that we have Phil.J as our coach and Lakers has Rudy.T as theirs.
I do agree Sura might not be the answer.

 

Is it just me, or does the offense look like it's starting to come around??

Last night was the first time TMac and Yao were both in the 20's, they each took over for stretches, and the passing has was never more crisp. All this while still trying to incorporate a bunch of new guys.

IMHO, our main problem lies in that this team needs more time to gel...we have an offense that is fairly intricate compared to other teams like, say the Magic, that just do the run and gun freelance thing. Our offense looks to get the ball inside as often as possible, which, given the zone rules, requires everyone being on the same page. This team's offense looks to be improving slowly as the season progresses...I think we will be in fine shape by season's end.

And believe me, if we get everything down and do not suffer any major injuries, this is not a team that ANYONE will want to face.

We still have a long way to go, but it may be coming...

 

Great point! I am totally with you. This team is not going to crush teams by 30 points, but is going to be tough to beat by any teams. We did ok agaisnt Kings ,Wolves and even Pistons. I cant wait to see how we do against Dallas, San Anton, Indy, Miami.

 

how much better are we since the preseason?

still at stage 1 or have we gone to square two now?

 

Yao scored 33 and T-Mac scored 23 (56 out of 104pts) against SAC.

This team is inconsitent due to BAD coaching.

 

How much time and games have past since pre-season. Spurs lost to Seattle badly this season already. Kings and Griz are doing horrible. T-Wolves isnt doing well either. It's not the time to panic and calling for firing your head coach.

 

JVG will not be fired for the simple reason that Les will not eat another marquee coaches contract. He already bought out Rudy's contract that was a huge hit financially, now if he has to pay another ten million to get Phil Jackson, he's not gonna do it.

 

AMEN!

 

I don't think they're gonna fire JVG any time soon. Would Phil Jackson be willing to coach our team anyways? Yao isn't exactly a dominating force like Shaq was, and McGrady could be another Kobe to him. He'd have some real work to do with this team, especially since our supporting cast is looking like garbage. They don't even know how to pass the ball properly to Yao.

 

I don't think PJ would even want to coach here if he was offered the job. This team is not on the verge of winning a championship or even close to it. It's not the right situation for him to come in. Yao/TMac are not even close to becoming like Shaq/Kobe. I'd say it'll probably take at least 2-3 years before we're a team good enough to be coached by PJ.

 

I think the Lakers' hiring Rudy decreased the financial hit to Les. Rudy was only out of the game for 1 season. JVG will be in the same situation. He'll get a coaching position after 1 season off with TNT or something. That'll take some of the financial burden off Les.

 

Why not just hire Tex, the man who brought the triangle in the first place....
