    Chose yes for DAntoni but it is because I am still hopeful that a Defensive coach will be hired that will improve the the D. Maybe Hollins.

    I'm really displeased with this hire. Les being Les and screwing the Rockets again. Keep hiring crappy coaches and demanding to go to the Finals just don't mix.

    Notice the half court sets with the 3 to 4 guys just standing around the perimeter. It's like he's been coaching us this whole time.

    Defenses around the league know how to stop this type of offense now. They will score a lot of points but they won't be able to score consistently against top tier defenses. This offense is designed to lose in the second round and our defense will be...well, you know.

    I wish our fans had some balls. We should be outside Toyota Center rioting.

    This proves we have a front office that's really not very smart. D'antoni has been fired from every HC job he had held ! Damn !!!!!

    I'm sad, very. This was supposed to be exciting, but now it's depressing.

    It's called a job. But yeah if the Rowdies or some group like that organizes it, I'll gladly make my way out there.

    Others have jobs too.

    And the Rowdies wouldn't do it. They suck. They'll be there cheering Les and DAntoni.

    Just don't attend games. Don't buy League Pass. Don't buy Rockets merchandise. Send Les a message.
