We NEED him here at the Rockets ASAP We automatically become heavy favorites. Imagine what he could do with our Defense and guys like Bev, Ariza, Brewer, Smith, Howard
With the level of talent on defense they have on that team even Pringles could coach them to be the team they are on that side of the court.
This guy is a real coach. He holds his players accountable and screams at them like a real coach should.
McHale's strength is player development. I used to be concerned about TT's grind out approach, but I have changed my mind after seeing our deficiencies. His game prep on defense is great. His players learn from their mistakes. Will he come back to Houston? I don't think so, but I would be interested in seeing him work with our players.
at least we wouldn't have to wait until 5 mins left in the 4th for Mchale to sub Harden into playoff games.
Let's keep in mind that this is the man who turned James Harden into an NBA MVP level stud this off-season. Too bad Morey ****ing gave McHale that c extension.
A contract extension won't stop the Rockets from getting another coach if they implode this round. This is all dependent on Les's pocketbook and whether Morey thinks a new coach is needed.
We HAD him on the Rockets and his mentor JVG. Everyone on here hated on them and Morey brought in Adelman because we needed more entertaining basketball.
Under Thibs the Rockets offense would get worse and they don't have players to play the kind of defense the Bulls do. If people are complaining about McHale's management of minutes now...
Has a team fired the coach after winning the championship? The Bulls are a long shot to win the chip but not inconceivable.
