    Who do you think is going to get fired first this season?

    My top 3 candidates.

    1. Van Gundy
    2. Brown
    3. McMillan

    Westphal, Saunders, D'Antoni, Silas, Avery Johnson, Larry Drew, Van Gundy.

    My top 3 to get fired earliest are Saunders, Van Gundy and Silas.

    Clippers and Blazers are going to win a lot of games this year. Vinny just needs to stay out of the way and McMillan knows what he's doing. Nobody is talking about the Blazers and they may surprise people.

    McMillan won't be fired, why would he be?

    Why would McMillan be fired? The Blazers are going to tear it up. Matthews is better than Roy. Crawford ensures they're not losing any offensive strike with Roy retiring.

    Meh.
    Rockets won't do anything of importance regarding any coach.
    Even Rick can't catapult us into the playoffs.

    I liked Rick, but he squandered his chance at a good team over petty differences. McHale has inherited a good team.

    Good team?
    How so...
    Two of our key players are over 30 and aging.
    We're rebuilding.

    Who would even want to replace McHale on a team aiming for the lottery?

    Y'all serious, McHale's gonna get the Jerry Tarkanian treatment?

    Going way back, but even Dick Vitale coached a full first season.

    Pringles. NY fans are demanding, and when they underperform again, he's gone.

    We fell a few games short last year with a injury plagued roster. I'd disagree

    If the Blazers are even close to thinking about firing Nate McMillan, then they are idiots, plain and simple.

    Whoa, Brandon Roy in a wheel chair is still better than Matthews. However, Blazers are only gunna go as far as Aldridge takes them.
