Depressing and unbelievable. Even if Les doesn't want to hire Gundy based on the past, that's fine, but then Vogel should be the CLEAR cut #1 choice. And everyone would be fine with that. But to add an offensive coach to a team needing defense....SMH...Stay away from the search Les, for God's sake!
If it's D'Antoni, I'm absolutely done. The side benefit will be that I can avoid the GARM, and I won't have to read FTW ROCKETS FTW's ****bag trollposts.
Relieved that JVG is no longer in the running to be the rockets coach. Love him as an analyst and think he would be a great coaching hire for almost any team looking. But aside from the timberwolves job or the Pelicans & thunders job last year, I'd rather listen to him on ABC than follow him coaching a crappy or dysfunctional team.
Are you people seriously talking about quitting the team if they hire D'Antoni? Bad fans around here.
Look at the guys on that team Hayes, Rafer, Juwon, and Head! Those are your key rotation guys outside of yao, t-mac, and battier. No wonder we lost. Man, not having Sura healthy really hurt us.
Nah, I'd watched the Rockets more than last year, because atleast they might be more interesting and if not, then just for the LOLS.
Look at the roster on the 09 playoff team. They won a series without tmac and got to game 7 against eventual champs under Adelman
With an ACTUAL offensive system around a top-5 offensive player in the league. And perhaps a decent defensive coordinator (i.e. Doc's Thibs). People around here are already jumping off the bridge before has even happened, before they see how this is going to play out and before they see what kind of personnel moves the team makes.
Just when i thought the Rockets were done letting us down they go and pull some idiotic **** like this... "I want the Rockets to lower my casket into my grave after I pass, so they can let me down one more time" The depressing part is, that almost everyone.. even the most casual fans recognized that a major part of our ineptitude last season was the drastic fall in our defense, yet we hire a coach who shuns it. **** you Le$ and Morey
if they happen to find a great defensive mind next to Mike, that would maybe ease alot of minds but regardless with his track record that's what has got all this frustration going. The #1 glaring problem is the defensive side of the ball yet the coach getting the most steam as of yet is one that doesn't preach that side of the ball.
