    Les is bumbling, stumbling fool. Good thing he doesn't speak out very much.

    Mike is collecting a paycheck before retirement.

    Daryl just riding shotgun with ol' Les. :rolleyes:

    The competitive advantage of D'Antoni's system doesn't exist when every other team can easily implement it.

    Gee, that ended suddenly. I recon that while they anticipated challenging questions, the number and depth of those questions caused Rockets PR to pull the plug.

    Les is dumb. San Antonio was the slowest team in the league this year.

    I didn't catch it all, but I'm pretty sure no reporter followed up to note that "playing this way" doesn't seem to always work for MDA. Not all of his teams have been offensive juggernauts.

    Let's copy what other teams do rather than establish their own identity is what I go from that press conference.

    And people acting like Houston media was hard on the team, Houston has possibly some of the softest media I have seen covering any organization.

    The correlation between pace and winning is very weak.

    This could have been such a positive event with the right coach answering the questions. Instead it's like a prologue to a Mad Max movie.
