    7 Seconds or Less and 7 Man Rotation or Less.

    Stephen Silas has been carrying the same Philosophy of P.J Tucker at Center

    MDA wanted out because of the person that owned the Rockets.

    And he has always been class, Rockets fans gave him a raw deal.

    All he did was win.

    No one complained about Dantoni's character as a human. We all know he's a awesome dude.

    They could also not call time out and play their starters 120 minutes
    Would that honor him?

    You shoulndt be questioning him as a championship level coach either.
    We do timeouts now dude and guess what THEY DONT DO JACK ****. Lol we had z big rotations with those big men you loved so much and guess what they didnt do crap either. You can honor him by not giving bad takes on his coaching.

    No, you just didn't like the way he coached winning teams.

    You disliked him because he didnt win with your preferred aesthetics.

    Same reason you hated Harden.

    You are just plain ignorant, it's not HOW you win its THAT you win is bottom line.

    He’s won zero nba championships

    If you want to climb to the top of Toyota center and hang a banner you made with a shower curtain and a sharpee pen
    Sure

    I disliked him? Criticism isn't disliking a human.

    Being the second most winning coach in Rockets history doesn't mean he was infallible on the court.

    Great coach, one major flaw: stubborn about the fact that his less practice and more minutes idea has obviously cost him at least 1 ring and has failed.

    It's not good for the players, it's a stupid mistake that he should've learned from after the Suns. No team looks more tired at the end of a series than an MDA team and this can be seen in 3pt shooting droughts and injuries to his Suns and Rockets players at key junctures (the moment the muscles have to endure more). It used to be assumed that the fatigue was from the pace of his teams, but we now know that's not true.

    Otherwise he was excellent and I'm sure he can lead a super team to a championship. Hell, Ty Lue led a team to a ring and he's not a quarter of the coach MDA is.

    Where is your criticism when the Rockets are losing like they've never lost before?

    You're fake AF.

    Dude, it's called expectations. I don't expect this team to compete. I criticize relative to expectations. This is basic common sense.

    Other teams had centers and AD still dominated them.
