    We have a new head coach. Let's hope he does well enough to keep the job, because obvious.

    Mike D'Antoni changed the way offense is played in the NBA. He was years ahead of the curve. He deserves credit for that.

    Having said that, I think there are better coaches out there for this team.

    Mr. Alexander will be in for a rude awakening if the head coach's name is Pringles, Mikey

    If you're not going to get shooters to space the floor....efficient shooters...D'Antoni's system would fold faster than Lynn McHale's twitter account.

    Thanks for the bump.

    Let me be clear, while I am on the fence about Pringles man, Les is the one who calls the shots and the shot he wants is clear: Be the 2007 Phoenix Suns.

    Ask Jeff Van Gundy if you don't believe me, Kwamedashian.

    D'Antoni would be a death sentence without a strong defensive minded assistant... and players are held accountable on both ends.

    Thibodeau might be too without an offensive minded assistant.

    Pringles would have Dmo shooting 3s at a Steph Curry pace.

    After a rough start to last season shooting, DMo was shooting greater than 40% from three. I'd have no problem with him taking 10+ threes a game at that percentage.

    D'Antoni has just 1 flaw as a head coach - that he is very bad at it.

    No, not Mike "No D" Antoni. Harden needs a coach that believes in structure and discipline in order to take his game to the next level. He's inherently lazy and lives on his offensive talent alone.

    He needs a coach not afraid to say:

    "Follow the system or come have a seat."
    "Play hard on D or come have a seat."
    "Stay out of the club before games."
    "Find a real girlfriend."
    "Read some books on leadership."

    The Rockets don't need any coach that'll be afraid to say the above to Harden.

    I knew he must've been drunk...again...when making this thread, lol. I'm still lmao at KJ McDaniels being a young Boris Diaw and Capela being Amare 2.0 pre-microfracture. Thanks for the laughs, but acknowledging you have a problem is the first step :)
