    Bring in Phil Jackson, he knows how to run an offense, unlike JVG. With the triangle offense we won't need a point guard. TMAC can bring up the ball, we will only need a point guard like Antonio Daniels. Phil Jackson will be an excellent fit, but I don't see it happening atleast this year. There is one thing working in our favor, we have a big man; and Phil enjoyed coaching Shaq. Hopefully, Les will realize that JVG isn't working out. How do we score more than the other opponent when our possesions are limited. It's like we have to play a perfect game each time on the court if the Rockets are going to pull out a win. Fire JVG and bring in an offensive minded coach, who knows defense.

    Go Rockets

    I second that notion! JVG sucks the ****. Bring on Phil Jackson!
    If I had it my way, I would Fire JVG, trade/cut Charlie Ward, trade/cut Juwon Howard and Weatherspoon.

    We need a quicker point guard, a more athletic, rebounding type power forward and a coach who won't ruin the career of T-Mac and Yao.

    I'm getting tired of seeing scores like 77-85 and we're on the losing side! This is a boring team right now!

    With all his talk about how something needs to be done now, I think JVG will step down. He's got 2 huge stars on his roster, so he can't expect that Les and CD will turnover the roster to fit his style of play. Del Harris to the rescue.

    As much as it pains me, I can sacrifice the O if we play great D and win games, but when you don't have either and you have the caliber of players we have, heads have to roll, I think think that maybe its time to start with the shiny one on top of van Gundy's shoulders.

    I THINK WE AS A BOARD SHOULD NOT JUDGE EMOTIONALLY ON THE WAY THIS TEAM IS PLAYING RIGHT NOW THE FACT IS VAN GUNDY IS ARGUABLY THE BEST DEFENSIVE COACH IN THE NBA. HOWEVER, THATS OFFSET BY HIM BEING THE WORST OFFENSIVE COACH IN THE LEAGUE BY FAR. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE TWO SUPERSTARS AND STRUGGLE TO SCORE LIKE WE ARE RIGHT NOW. THE ENTIRE OFFENSE IS BASED ON YAO AND BECAUSE HE IS SO CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT, OUR ENTIRE OFFENSE STRUGGLES when he struggles. THE NAME GEORGE KARL COMES TO MIND HE IS A TREMENDOUS OFFENSIVE COACH SINCE THE DAYS HE HAD PAYTON AND KEMP and is not by any stretch a soft coach
