If we can't have Larry Brown, why not Larry Smith?

    Hey Larry,

    Don't worry, I think you'll be able to find another gig as an assistant somewhere around the league. Good luck!

    Can someone tell me what game the Rockets lost under Larry Smith that they were supposed to win?

    Larry Smith has the Francis fans on him because Steve choked massively at the end of the year, and the Yao fans on him because Yao choked massively at the end of the year. Some of the numbers these two guys put up at the end of the year were downright pathetic. This is why Larry Smith gets such a bad wrap.

    C'mon Larry had about a 500 record while in charge am I right? Thats about where Rudy had them. Did anybody expect him to do better or an equal job as rudy? He is what he is, hes an "assistant coach" A playoff spot would have been nice but he got pretty darn close to getting in.Do I want him as head coach? Heck no his offense shemes were terrible. And there are alot better options out there. But you guys act like Rudy had them going like the Sacramento Kings.

    The only games we lost that we shouldn't have: Seattle and Milwaukee

    Games we did win but shouldn't have: Philly

    One game swing as I see it.

    Not enough to label Smith as people have been IMO.
