    Beasley, our only bright spot lately gets less than 10 minutes while Brewer has proven to be an inadequate basketball player lately and gets the start and more than 20. Let JVG say he's still good now..

    Starting Corey Brewer and at the 4 tells how horrible JBB is. Bye, bye JBB and take Brewer with you.

    The first couple minutes was promising with great defense, but then I saw the offense trying to outscore the Warriors. We ain't winning trying to play run and gun. Somehow Bickerstaff sees adjustment is not needed, he is hoping the Warriors shoot themselves in the foot.

    No. He failed to keep the same game plan that was working in the first half. Instead he thought switching on D would work. We were doing fine trapping curry and etc.

    So curry is out the second half. You would think a coach would trap Thompson, green, etc.... But no. Let's switch and give iggy and green wide open 3s the entire 3rd quarter. ****ing pathetic

    It's weird seeing the media ripping apart everyone including Morey, Harden and Howard, but completely lets this incompetent human being that calls himself a basketball coach off the hook, when he is probably the most responsible for our current situation.

    No doubt, Harden and Howard took it all year unfairly.

    Don't be so harsh. Switching on the picks has been FANTASTIC for us as a defensive strategy all year long. :rolleyes:

    I'm quite surprised we actually did something different in the first half

    McHale sucked but nothing this bad. How could you go away from something that worked so well for something that sucked so bad?

    The firing of McHale was the right move.

    (it should've been done after the Portland series)

    The Rockets organisation could have picked from a pool of so many coaches to be their next head coach - instead they made the only move which made this team worse.

    Appointing the guy who has only learnt in a professional environment from Kevin McHale.

    You think your head coach is doing a pathetic job - so your next move is to replace him with his protege?

    Of course it's going to backfire.

    Idiotic decision by this organisation. Absolutely idiotic.

    Can we fire this guy now? I'm pretty sure a blank clipboard could coach better than him.

    Good Lawd. 53/54 pages to this thread?

    Well, don't worry, Clutchfans. JB won't be fired, but he certainly won't be offered a new contract for next season. He is the final remnant of McHale, but IMO, he has a better future in this league than Kevin did as a coach/GM.

    I just hope fans are happy with whomever Les decides to go with for the next few years.

    I remember being FURIOUS with the McHale signing, considering the names of guys we interviewed. I'm sure some fans are equally angry with JB.

    Prayers to Luke/Mark Jackson/Pringles/Byron *NOT* walking anywhere near the Toyota Center.

    KJ McDaniels is probably our quickest defender on the perimeter. Naturally, our dumbass coach doesn't play him in a game where we're getting absolutely murdered from long range.
