Has McHale lost the Team & is he the right person to coach them to the next level?

Not sure he's lost the team yet, but he sure isn't doing anything a good head coach would right now. There's a better coaching option on our bench in JET and plenty of high IQ guys available that could do a really good job (college guys, Nash, Billups, etc). McHale needs to go and it's been quite apparent for awhile if you watch this team when they struggle.

 

1. Yes
2. Never ever

He literally brings nothing out there besides "play hard" "play harder" "play hardest" "clap clap" FFS he can't call a timeout when needed. His rotations are all over the place. Guys get hot and he pulls them to have a seat on the bench while Harden can brick away all night long. He holds no players accountable and that is the reason players "love" to play for him. They can do whatever the **** they want and they know they can get away with it.

 

This is the exact same line of thinking I (I'm assuming with a ton of others) have. Golden State is a clear example, hell, we even play a similar style in terms of what shots we take.

 

I'd love to see this Rockets roster run Adleman's offense .... and Van Grumpy's defense.

Make it happen Muray.

 

Didn't Adelman retire for health reasons?

 

I voted championship just cus Murica!

 

The team isn't ready to play. That is Kevin fault. If they lose to okc tonight the locker room might start falling apart.

 

They were up 20 vs Heat.

 

as average fans and w/o inside info., there's no way to tell if he has lost the players already or not. but i dont feel he's a championship level coach to begin with. but i am not a sponsor of the firing mchale band either. he's ok and has been doing just fine. until we have a realistic chance of getting someone significantly better, its ok to have him in the hc chair imo. plus, les probably in no hurry to fire anyone...

 

We had those coaches and ClutchFans wanted them fired. ClutchFans.

I miss Rick.

 

It's not the coach causing this terrible start to the season. This one is on the players (particularly Harden) I'm sorry, but Harden's shooting and shot selection have been terrible in the first 3 games (FG 38%). Ariza 25% FG, Lawson 28% FG The guys are getting out hustled to loose balls. Playing bad defense. Giving up LAYUPS over and over. Offense boards. Teams are getting whatever they want to. Lawson is unsure out there. It will just take some time for them to figure it out since they did not have a lot of time together in camp. It's a process. Right not it is just plan ugly. When your shooting is off you need to do something else, like make a effort on defense.

Golden state is a much better shooting team than we are. So they make the system look a lot better. Curry, Thompson, Green can all handle it, pass it and shoot it very well. They have a rhythm together that our guys dont (right now anyway). So Kerr has helped, but that's more about the players.

 

Mchale should've been fired last year. I wish he didn't get along with management like Jackson.

The Warriors have talent spread out on their team similar to the rockets. Granted they have much better shooting, but I believe we should be better inside and defensively as a team.

Golden state was just another team like us until they got a new coach. Their new coach took them to a completely new level.

It's a shame if we keep Mchale because this team as currently constructed has 0 chance of winning a ring with him as head coach.

 

Where's the the option for "He never had the team in the first place"?

I'm choosing that one. Regardless of how far they got last year, they've never had consistent chemistry, nor have they solved the issue of free throws and turnovers. I don't think his players respect him. They may like him because he's easy on them or whatever, but I don't see the spark of "I want to do better" or "I'd better do better or I'm sitting." That's why every Rockets game is a mystery waiting to be unraveled.

 

He never had the team to begin with to lose it. It was always Harden team with how Harden can do whatever he want without consequences.

And for that, he's was never the right Coach once Harden arrived in HOU.

 

It ain't just Rick, that's just a video of guys making shots. Right now, we have 3 of our main guys shooting under 40% and they are taking a lot of the shots. They missing open looks. That's not coaching, that's SHOOTING.
