    If they drop more than half of those games, McHale needs to go. At that point, we'd be 18 games in which is nearly a quarter of the season. And the schedule is about to get much tougher once X-Mas arrives.

    If the Rockets finish the month at 7-11 or worse, we're looking at a very high probability that this team winds up in the lottery if a change isn't made. Look at the slate of opponents starting on X-Mas with San Antonio and over the following months. They're gonna get slaughtered if these first 10 games are any indication.

    Hey, for all we know Brooks is being lined up to take over and Durant has already been briefed.
    From memory Brooks said he's taking the year off.
    Anyway whilst that might be my fantasy, I need some silver lining.

    Story of Houston FO. It sounds as a sarcastic low blow at the fans. I'm superior and there's nothing you can do about it.

    There you go again..... Dobro and I ask.... who are these coaches.....? Who wants to take a dark horse contender team mid season where the players just aren't giving enough effort and battling injuries?

    It's very easy to talk about it.... but putting words into action when every other team wants the best person every spot is difficult to do.

    So can you answer who these coaches are that are circling McHale like vultures? By all means, exhaust all your inside rockets knowledge.

    Generally CEOs know lots of things that aren't common knowledge in relation to their business and/or industry.

    and generally CEO's are so utterly ignorant about their own business that they do things like corporate stock repurchases for months right before said stock collapse :grin:

    Considering the Rocket's value and revenue, I imagine Tad Brown is relatively component.

    More likely, I'd imagine they got everyone together this weekend and he fells better about the Rockets moving forward.

    Future coach and assistant

    We have one tough player and he's starting to go soft and we have soft coaches. Every single one of our players is playing completely undisciplined. Regardless of what happens this season, and its shaping up to be a giant turd, but just say they find a way to turn it around Mchale doesn't have the basketball IQ to win a championship as a coach. We're wasting James Harden’s prime by spoiling him and coddling him like this and if Dwight can't play back to back get someone that can. Why the **** are they paying him if he can play every night. The team just looks lazy and that's all coaching

    I always wonder how we would look like if Rick Adelman has this squard. Obviously Rick is retired, but wondering why the Princeton System is extinct from the NBA? Does any coach still use the motion offense?

    Look at how Hayes was passing like Vlade Divac and it was fun to watch. http://youtu.be/nL-fGH62NvU

    Great Post! I like the quotes from both guys. I think they both can light a fire that has been missing with the Rockets. Be nice if we had Thibs and Battier, unlikely since they both would want to choose their own assistants, but it would be cool.

    This is one of the reasons I wanted Shane. They used to say he was like a student when he was being coached by Rick he would be a very logical choice as a coach since eh knows the system.

    The bigger question is does Shane and Thibs want us?

    Great. And what have they indicated about potentially coaching for the Rockets? Or should this by in the fantasy thread of "what coach you would pick"?

    Morey and Le$ don't care win or lose, they also don't care championship.

    Why should fans refresh pages everyday... :(
