Bet you could get John Wall for him. I'm not sure who else would bite. He's here for two more years. You might be able to dump him as the Mother Of All Expiring Contracts at the deadline of his last year. I guess you can see what a Capela/Gordon package will bring you.
I can't write about the Xs and Os where MDA screws up. Not something I know. I can though point out when a team looks confused, unmotivated, listless, and otherwise mentally unprepared for an elimination game. Like the Rockets mostly did tonight and for a lot of this series. That is unquestionably on the coach and his performance there was largely unacceptable this series, and at other points this year and prior years It's time for a change. Maybe Messina is the answer, maybe Kelvin Sampson, maybe someone else. I cant see Bzedlik getting the job.
That's exactly what we need too. A smart basketball mind that isn't married to moreyball and just wants to win games.
so...this guy fired yet? I need to know so i can start watching the rockets again next season. If not, same crap going to be over and over again.
LOL. Let's put this knee jerk reaction into perspective - Before D'Antoni came along, the Rockets only made it out of the first round 2X in 20 YEARS!!! - He's done that AND more since he's been here - D"Antoni's record is 173-73 so far with the Rox; A 70% WINNING PERCENTAGE That's OUTSTANDING for ANY coach in the league - He turned James into a Superstar and MVP - His system helped the Rockets set franchise AND league records - Led our team to the BEST RECORD IN THE NBA last year (yes, even better than GSW) (He wasn't responsible for the Melo experiment and terrible start this year) - Named Coach of the Year last year - ONLY TEAM in the NBA to take a playoff lead against GSW during Durant era (3-2 last year before CP went down) - ONLY TEAM in the NBA to take GSW to 7 games during Durant era - ONLY TEAM in NBA to tie series with GSW during Durant era (this year) - Arguably had G1 rigged by referees this year to dampen our start But BOY, you go toe to toe with the best team ever assembled and don't quite take them down and fans want your head in a basket. If ALL teams fired their coaches for not getting as far as GSW then there would be 'hiring' signs all over the league
Some unknown out there is apparently going to solve all the issues. Can I add @amaru says melo over mda any day That’s the quality level of takes were forced to see around here
Yep. I mean D'Antoni/ Harden versus 4 All Starts future hall of famers ( two of which might be the best shooters that ever played in the NBA), you get what you get. Fans expecting a miracle outcome rarely happens in cases like this
Don’t be so cruel.....you don’t only lose one job by firing MDA, you also lose Shumpert and his bird rights. He is the only coach who would give playing time to this scrub. Shump would likely follow him to his next job. We would be stuck with Faried, as any other coach would likely play the double double machine.
Yep Shumpert would lose all that 4th quarter playing time he got in Game 6 when Curry was going supernova on us lol.
Coach Mda is good enough to get us to the dance. But we are not losing because of x and o's we are loosing because he has not addreSSED THE LEADERSHIP,DISCIPLINE AND ACCOUNTABILITY ON THIS TEAM. The Team we had ended this season would play a lot better if we started camp with the team and that's on Daryl. You can't put a team together on the fly and takedown the Warriors or any other contender. USA basketball tried that and they got trounced by inferior competition. We need out team ready to go by October so it can gel and also where rolls can be established and a consistent foundation built.
Absolutely. And basically the team that beat us 'without Durant' is still basically the SAME TEAM that won a record 73 games just a few years ago. It's not like Durant was their only weapon and they don't know what to do without him. Over the past 2 years, we've given them the best run for the money so far. Blow for blow. This series this year was less than 10 pt point differential throughout 6 games And just because we come up short, heads should roll?
unfortunately, someone has to take the fall. I mean we have people like @amaru talking about melo over mda would just be awesome. A guy who still couldn't adjust himself, yet is believed to be able to make adjustments for others. LMAO. oh cf's never ceases to make me laugh
