Rockets to hire Mike D'Antoni

Who? The bald white guy?

 

After having one of the worst defenses in Rocket(maybe NBA) history they go out and sign NDA. Lol

 

Usually I'm calling for patience and see how this plays out, but damn... les hiring pringles is a big FU to all Rocket fans. We do not have the personnel of PHX big 3... and he fails at adapting to personnel he has aka Lakers...

 

breh, I'm getting old

but even worse, I'll have to watch turruble D next season.

 

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

Harden Era is finished!

 

I for one am excited for this new season. At least when we lose it wont be boring. Here's scoring 125ppg and allowing 130ppg. opcorn:

 

SEE YA HARDEN. You'll look terrible in a Lakers uniform, but im sure you will be happy being home.

 

So we going to sign midgets who can run and chuck?

welll....at the very least, we'll see harden put up video game numbers and start at point guard....

 

Our D will be worse than the play actor's on last week's episode of Game of Thrones

 

So....Dwight's gone now for sure right?

 

Nobody cares about his "strong" ****ing staff.

Yeah, and you were gonna put great Xs and Os around McHale. We ended up with John ****ing Blair Bickerstaff coaching this team.

Media & fans keep excusing his failed stints in New York & Los Angeles. Get the **** outta here with that bull****.

He had defensive guru Steve Clifford in LA. It didn't ****ing matter.

Enjoy your 140-130 games. b**** ass owner.

 

I wonder if the hiring of D'Antoni means that Morey will have a diminished role. The reports sound like Les likes him more than Morey does. Also, being a "veteran coach" it likely means D'Antoni has his own thoughts on personnel matters and probably asked for more control than a newcomer like Stephen Silas would have.

 

I've been speaking out against this move for weeks, but at the end of the day I'm still a Rockets fans.

What's the alternative? Are you going to stop watching games because you're butt-hurt you didn't get the coach you wanted? GTFO.

 

well, clearly it's not about the defense. :grin:

 

Love it

 

Defense is the problem, it's really, really bad.

Les Alexander 2015: Let's promote the defensive coordinator
Les Alexander 2016: Let's hire a coach who has proven time and again that he knows nothing about defense
