    Because of Morey we have two superstars while majority of league barely have one. You ungrateful boy.

    Wasn't Adelman a "player's coach," too?

    But he wasn't as open to Morey's philosophy.

    So is McHale the first coach to get an extension from the Rockets since Rudy T?

    Meh. You can indulge in this fail parade. I'll catch a game here and there because this is still my mother ****ing city. This actually makes me a better person since I won't be glued to the TV for 2 hours.

    This is flawed reasoning. Yes he was a champion as a player but great players don't exactly equate to great coaches, in fact for the most part great players fail as coaches. I really hope McHale can work out since we are stuck with him for the foreseeable future now. Sigh...

    So I'm guessing McHale has improved since his infamous "Etch and Sketch" days?

    I am pretty sure that the Rockets front office is qualified enough to make a good head coaching decision.

    This isn't their first rodeo!

    He said "knows what it takes to win a championship...", he didn't say "great player," so that would include:

    1. Larry Bird- obvious- and very good job with Indiana as a coach
    2. Rick Carlisle- champion as a Celtic
    3. Phil Jackson- champion as a Knick
    4. Pat Riley- champion as a Knick (I think??)- no the Lakers, in 1972.
    5. Steve Kerr- champion as a Bull
    6. Larry Brown- champion as a coach with Kansas in 1988

    For starters he allowed the best shooter on Portland to get an open look to end the series. The one thing you can't allow to happen in that situation is for Lillard to get an open look and he did. Having said that, Simmons also did a nice little write up on McHale in that series and he is a McHale fan.

    Not being glued to the TV will not necessarily make you a better person. The meltdown on some of the post went from annoying to absurd.

    It's hard to have confidence in any of the front offices on the sports franchises in this city. In the last two decades and overall sports history, there just isn't a great track record.

    I can already hear Leslie's laugh from reading comments by the fanbase

    Well, I'm glad we're "in it to win it."
