    Rox have the appearance of an organization going nowhere. My interest in this team has never been lower.

    This is how I am Feeling

    How can this retread who could not win it all
    with TWO MVP seasons from Nash
    and
    AIN'T WON A D*MN THING AT ALL without Nash
    Gets yet ANOTHER FRICKING CHANCE

    but Mario and Sam cannot get a sniff

    His record without Nash is MIKE BROWN-ISH!!!

    When you think about it though, it's not entirely surprising. The last Rockets head coaches have been, McHale, Adelman, Van Gundy. All big names with major flaws in their coaching.

    We just need some bombshell to secretly record Les saying racist things or lure Pringles into a sex scandal.

    I'm just relieved we finally picked a coach....strangely enough it's gets me wondering? Why for the love of God did we not keep Rick the Ruler Adelman? That stubborn old man was the best coach in the Morey era.

    Oh well

    Go rockets?

    I can see Harden will be strongly bashed by no defense...

    Dark day in Rockets history. D'Antoni is in, Howard is out.

    One interesting thing is that the Rockets will now have 2 of the 3 most influential people in how the NBA is today.

    D'Antoni is the reason why offenses play the way they do today.

    Morey is the reason why teams play the way they do today and GM's use analytics the way they do today.


    The third guy is Tom Thibodeau, who is the reason why teams play defense the way they do today.

    And interestingly enough, Thobodeau has also coached in Houston when he was an assistant with JVG.


    So the 3 most influential people in basketball have all come through Houston.

    I think this marks the era where we are like franchises such as NOLA, Charlotte, Milwaukee, and other very mediocre teams that stay mediocre for decades.

    No one has said if D'Antoni buys into the Morey-approved, analytic-verified 3s/layups/FTs offense.

    Has to because the team has only one midrange shooter in Beasley. Harden will be outraged that he has to move inside the 3pt line without the ball in Pringles offense
