Intelligent response. I bet most Rockets fans would love to have a season like any of the last few seasons under McHale right now. Not good enough for you, right? Well, now you got your FIRE MCHALE wish! That was a great plan you had.
Im sorry but he runs nothing down the wire. We look the same as under McHale with everyone standing around waiting for Harden to iso save us.
He's a stupid interim coach and Rockets owner gave up this season to save some money. You really can't bash him for being a scrub.. We already knew that from the beginning
under a minute left, knowing that we'll get fouled, he keeps Beverley in and inbounds the ball to him lmao
He refuses to hack-a-Deandre and puts Clippers back into the game. He insists in keeping Brewer on the floor in decisive moments.
McHale Jr. like his mentor will continue to cost the team games in close games. Absolutely awful rotations. TJones was actually playing well and he was benched the entire 2nd half. With the Rockets up a point and just needing a stop, he keeps Ty Lawson in the game and has Capela, DMo, and TJones on the bench. Not surprisingly, Fournier gets the GW layup. F*** this coaching staff
He's worse than Mchale. The players are just playing harder now that's all. At least Mchale knew you ISO James in the clutch always. That's what he did all year for us last year.
Yep. Harden and Dwight never established a bread and butter play and Howard's inability to make a jumpshot ruins any pick and roll possibility. That's what you run for a game winning opportunity. Hope an alley oop works? WTF
His rotation was horrendous tonight. Both Dmo and Jones didn't even see the court in the 2nd half, makes no sense since both we're having solid games.
We started the season with near league worst defense, then rewarded the defensive assistant with the head coaching role
until you factor in the $ les had to eat on mchale's contract. then the public committment to JB starts to make more sense..
The consistently terrible start to so many games is ridiculous. I mean...how many games have we gone down 10-15 points in the first quarter this season?
The front office knows this season is a lost cause, team simply isn't good enough. I'm fine letting a mediocre coach finsh the year with this mediocre team. When we change things up in the offseason, then we can bring in a new coach with a clean slate.
I do not believe this for one second. This team if healthy is still capable of winning it all. It's all about discipline and that chemistry that Bickerstaff has been trying to instill. We have some amazong talent on this team, we just need to guide it right. I still feel like Lawson is a lost cause at this point though. We are a true starting pg or an a good back up pg away. Hopefully we can make that trade to make it happen. We may have lost tonight but we are definitely a good trade away from making us unstoppable.
He is definitely not completely there just yet. He has some things to figure out but the past few games and some of the news about the practices are showing he is at least an upgrade from Mchale. If he can truly get Harden to make Howard a true offensive weapon then we can go places.
