Usually I'm calling for patience and see how this plays out, but damn... les hiring pringles is a big FU to all Rocket fans. We do not have the personnel of PHX big 3... and he fails at adapting to personnel he has aka Lakers...
I for one am excited for this new season. At least when we lose it wont be boring. Here's scoring 125ppg and allowing 130ppg. opcorn:

Nobody cares about his "strong" ****ing staff. Yeah, and you were gonna put great Xs and Os around McHale. We ended up with John ****ing Blair Bickerstaff coaching this team. Media & fans keep excusing his failed stints in New York & Los Angeles. Get the **** outta here with that bull****. He had defensive guru Steve Clifford in LA. It didn't ****ing matter. Enjoy your 140-130 games. b**** ass owner.
I wonder if the hiring of D'Antoni means that Morey will have a diminished role. The reports sound like Les likes him more than Morey does. Also, being a "veteran coach" it likely means D'Antoni has his own thoughts on personnel matters and probably asked for more control than a newcomer like Stephen Silas would have.
I've been speaking out against this move for weeks, but at the end of the day I'm still a Rockets fans. What's the alternative? Are you going to stop watching games because you're butt-hurt you didn't get the coach you wanted? GTFO.
Defense is the problem, it's really, really bad. Les Alexander 2015: Let's promote the defensive coordinator Les Alexander 2016: Let's hire a coach who has proven time and again that he knows nothing about defense FACEPALM TIMES 10000000000
