    Ive had it with this play. We need this to stop. It is time to get a new Coach. You can not play like this, without some sort of defensive minded coach in the way.

    Comon please tell me how much im right. You know you want to...

    Is he willing to take Assist Coach?

    Tilman wastes 4 million dollars if MDA is fired.

    We're at the point where if we can't get a good defensive-minded asst. coach, we consider firing D'Antoni to open up a head coaching spot for them.

    Too late, this team's defense is a dumpster fire, no respectable coach will ruin their name attaching it to this team's defense now.

    I'm down. I don't get the point of Dantoni anyways? Any shmuck can run this offense. It's a very simple scheme that doesn't require much coaching. So why not just get a head coach that instills discipline?

    *Time for a real Head Coach

    Leslie can take Mike back to Florida with him @tinman
    or back to West Virginia to retire.

    Morey can go too.

    Nobody can make a team with zero good perimeter defenders a good defensive team.

    new coach, same game plan......................why are people not seeing this. Every coach we ever get has to play Morey Ball, it won't matter who the coach is, they will have to play Morey's system

    They would have a heart attack trying to get Harden and Westbrook to lessen their bad habits.

    I would pay whatever it took to get both Van Gundy brothers here.

    JVG’s offense was terrible.

    We need a balanced head coach. I’d like to see Kelvin Sampson get a shot. He’s paid his dues and I think the players would respect him.

    What exactly is our offense where JVG can't run it? Is it difficult to coach a scheme of jacking up as many threes as humanly possible with hardly any off ball movement?

    lol. This would be great. Then we'd see all the old people who b****ed about JVG posting again about why he sucks. :D

    I hear you. I don’t like our offense either. It’s a contributing factor as to why our defense is total ****.

    We need Dave Joerger. Not for just defense but to have someone with the ability to create some cohesion. He’s a brilliant coach who won’t be a FA for long.

    I think even if the Rockets were able to get another superstar via trade giving up Capela, etc...their defense still stinks. They are better off finding a defensive coach and fire the current one. Heck, if they go on a 4-5 game losing streak, they likely will fire MDA.
