    Whomever or whoever got him fired thank you very much. Had they not got him canned there would be no MDA right now.We got out of his 3 year deal which is a blessing.

    Reading the rest of her twitter feed, I would take anything she says with a gigantic mound of salt.

    Honestly, Out of anyone on our team, KJ has the right to be pissed. Imagine watching Brewer get minutes over you again and again when you CLEARLY have played better this season.

    KJ has not gotten consistent minutes with multiple coaches, and was traded from the 76ers.

    He is lackadasical on rotations, and still has an unproven jumper. He doesn't give 100% effort; he doesn't deserve minutes. He had his opportunities, and blew them.

    I wonder what McHale's wife thinks about the Rockets now.

    This is all just conjecture, man. Nobody really knows if Harden liked McHale, or if Harden and Dwight were getting along.

    Fact is, our team started the year 0-4 last season and we lost all four games by 20 points, games were not even close. This is not acceptable for a team that made the WCF the year prior and the head coach is going to be the fall guy in such situation.

    Personally, dude is happy we fired McHale but dude would not have fired him that early in the season. I would have let him finish the year and then fire his ass. He was a horrible coach, could not draw up a play to save his life, played the same 8 man rotations and never developed our youth. McHale set the Rockets back 2 or 3 years with his bullshit, man.

    Offense = KJ
    Defense = KJ
    Finishing = KJ
    Rebounding = KJ
    Productivity = KJ

    Deserves minutes = Corey Brewer...

    Is KJ the new Squid...?

    Honestly, this current team has the chemistry feels that the team had before they signed Dwight. They play for each other and don't care what anyone says. They're fun to watch again.

    And we won't have to worry his minutes after the trade deadline, because KJ will be some other fanbase's potential-laden curiosity.

    I still want to know why McHale got extended the year before, before the surprisingly good regular season with all the injuries and before the WCF appearance.

    I think Codman was referring to Dmo as the disgruntled one

    He pretty much confirmed that it's KJ in a subsequent post.

    Wow. Kid needs to work his ace of first before blaming others. He did not even dominate in D league.

    You know who was ultimately responsible for getting Mchale fired? It was Mchale himself, because he had a horrible training camp which resulted in players playing out of shape esp. Harden. Mchale was fired in like ~10 games, and a big part of the firing probably resulted from the first 3 games being 20 pt blow out losses. On the court Harden seemed like the biggest offender because he was out of shape and couldn't hit anything, but the reality is that's just a symptom of the ineptitude of Mchale and his staff to work out a training regimen and get the entire team to work on their game during the summer. I guess the discord is a part of it too, but honestly Kobe and Shaq hated each other more thank Dwight and Harden did and they were still able to accomplish great things in the season so I think it really was due to bad offseason preparation.

    It's funny because Morey hired Mchale because he thought Mchale would be great at "personality management" and be able to get the team to unite. But it's really hard to lead when everyone knows you are incompetent (at coaching, not in general), people may respect Mchale when it comes to his playing history but I don't know if they took his words to heart because he doesn't have legit coaching experience.

    What you see on the court is just the end product of everything that isn't seen by the audience. Unless the player is like Lebron level or something if he's a locker room problem or doesn't listen to me as the coach I ain't playing him. Brewer is a consummate team player and he is always positive and always listens to the coaches. If your goal is to win then a team player who isn't as talented is way more valuable than someone talented but is a loose cannon.

    What does Dan Toni's wife think about the Lakers and the Knickerbockers?
