Howard has been doing this all season. Is it coaching, or is it just an unwillingness by Dwight to go out and defend bigs who can shoot? Really surprised this hasn't been addressed because it hurts us quite often, particularly last night.
But a good coach KNOWS that he won't come out, so you put Howard on Milsap and Capela or Dmo on Holford. DD
Yes, and then Morey sits down with Harden and asks him who he and Durant want hired as the head coach. Not that I think Durant will come here. But, I think that's what Morey will do.
The switching was so bizarre. I wish we had a real reporter to ask if this was execution or direction
I agree 100% with this statement! BUT, good coaches seem to get the best out of his players, either through charisma (Zen Master) or by actually having a sound game plan that everyone buys into and feels a part of (Pops). Of course you still need the mandatory 1-2 stars on your team and a solid group of players (we have both IMHO) to be a legitimate contender. This team (with the exception JSmoove/Prigioni) is the exact team that went to the conference finals LAST year! All we need is the RIGHT coach!!! Get'r done MOONIES!!!

LMAOOOOO right. 1. Fire McHale! 2. Should have drafted Jerian Grant! 3. Fire McHale! 4. Should have drafted Jerian Grant! 5. Fire McHale! 6. Should have drafted Jerian Grant! Rinse, repeat.
Lol, it'll be great if Durant says JB/McHale, Morey signs one... and then Durant leaves for DC. Then we can just leave this thread going or reopen the McHale one! Let's keep this dumpster fire going!
JBB's terrible defensive philosophy continues. How does Golden State get to their season points per game average despite missing Curry!!?? I was at the game. It was clear the one rotation JBB put out there with TJones and Capela devastated the team and we were never able to recover after that. The +/- says it all. It's so obvious that DMo should be the starting PF yet somehow is getting the fewest minutes. And why is Terry getting DNP-CDs after playing such a crucial role in the win vs the Spurs? Even the little things killed us. Like when Harden shoots too early just before the end of the 2nd quarter, allowing GS to get a free layup. Sure that's on Harden too, but who wants to guess that JBB won't even bring that up to James like he did nothing wrong? That's on coaching too.
Not the best coach, but if you're blaming him for the rocket's woes you're once again ignoring the main problem. The set of players.
Rockets lets a winnable game turn into a loss. We have Dwight going 8 for 9 in the game yet he gets 0 touches at the end of the game. Coach Harden is winning.
I'm all for cleaning house with this coaching staff and letting Jason Terry or something be a player coach until they find someone that knows what they are doing. The team is talented. This product is embarrassing. Jb is a disgrace to the Bickerstaff name. What exactly has this guy been doing all these years as an assistant? It sure as hell wasn't learning how to coach basketball.
Worst coaching I've ever seen at the NBA level. WTF are these rotations? His second team was harden and a bunch of guys who can not shoot. When has that ever worked?
Why fire McHale to keep JB as the head coach? Should have kept McHale if we are to suck. Should have had a commitment lined up from a real coach first.
