I just wanna say you were right. I believed you when you said your source said McHale was gone if we lose to the Mavs... Anyways, thanks for not coming on here and floating out some bull. Repped.
waaaaaaaaaaaay too early and this is coming from a mchale critic. way too early for this. its not on the coach if players keep misisng wide open shots or take dumb ass shot. the bricks are on the players too, cmon now.

But the shot selection is. If he's not able to get it through their thick skulls that settling for long jumpers without any ball movement, then they need to bring in someone who can. Why wait for this to get worse?? What good is that going to do?
How about the bad defense? How about small ball when we are getting out rebounded? How about minutes allocation and player rotation? How about time out usage? How about in game adjustments? Do those count against Mchale?
I will gladly take George Carl. Great coach, and might be available soon. He would be option number two after JVG/THIBS
In all honesty, Rockets had no choice but to go small. Most of the bigs were hurt. McHale's rotations were awful though and maybe he didn't have to go quite that small. There were no in game adjustments.
15-20 games. remembe rlast season cavs were barely a 500 team through nov/dec then went on to the 2nd best record in the east and made the finals. and lets not forget mchale has a winning record in each season he's coached here. coached two over achieving teams, the first harden playoff team and last season's team.
Let me explain something to you. The rockets were lucky last year. They got the right matchup with Dallas and the clippers ran out of gas. If they've played the clippers in the first round it would have been a lost. Yeah this team is talented, but it's not the right mix of talent. They will always come short because they don't have the right mix and right coach. My opinion, I don't think the Rockets can win a championship with Howard and Harden.
injuries! and season is young. give him a chance to see what he can do with a healthy roster. they did re-sign his fast as hell. they owed it to him to break out of this slump.
Yea but didn't we give up like 20+ offensive rebounds against the Nets by going small? Dwight, Capela, and jones were all available that day
Wooow. Although I wanted this to happen, I never imagined it would happen this fast. Who do we get though ? Jvg has already said he has no ambitions to coach anymore. Scott brooks ? No thank you. Bring in Thibs.
Step 1 to fixing this problem is simple: give an honest effort. Last year's Rockets thrived because they charged at opponents with waves of raw, frantic energy. Those same players are now standing wide-eyed as opponents fly past them in transition. Transition defense is indeed Houston's biggest problem. Teams score 15.5 percent on the Rockets on the break, per Synergy Sports Technology. Only the lowly Sixers and Jekyll-and-Hyde Kings have surrendered more total points on the break than Houston this season, and no team has actually stopped a lower percentage of transition opportunities. The sheer number of transition chances the Rockets give up is the biggest issue. Houston is allowing teams to get 17.5 transition possessions per game this season. The Hornets are second-worst in opponent transition conversion percentage, but have surrendered just 11.3 transition possessions per game, lowest in the league. The Hornets have unheralded players that get back because they know they lack the athleticism to compensate without meticulous planning. The Rockets have stars that think they can take shortcuts and be fine. It's no accident that Charlotte has overachieved as Houston has floundered. http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2015/11/18/9755956/houston-rockets-kevin-mchale-fired-not-his-fault
