Hey it's not my fault you people can't understand basic facts, you act like I'm giving you some advanced analytics or something. Being allergic to facts...I guess that's on me too?
JVG did not even win one playoff series with two superstars. That's got to be a record in the league. impressive.
Why is Don Chaney not in the conversation ? To me, he is the winningest coach in Rockets history. He did the best he could with the roster and had them playing great defense. In 88-89: 4th 89-90: #1 !! and 90-91: 2nd Without Olajuwon he did a great job, just like Adelman in 07-08 and I think had he stayed longer, he would've the same if not better than what Rudy T did. Yes, Rudy T won the rings, but Chaney layed the groundwork. Rudy T though famous for his move of using a PF as a perimeter player and a different inside-outside game, it only worked really worked during the 2nd championship run. Rudy didn't do much with the team after that though he never had the roster to make things work. I voted Don Chaney.
The best two coaches to compare against are JVG & Adelman. Both shared similar lineups and coached the same number of reg season games. What's telling here is what RA did with the roster he had compared to JVG for the same number of games. Plus RA had no losing seasons with the Rockets. He's been the best at squeezing blood from a turnip. Let's not forget the front office effect on these coaches - I'm sure that played a part in their winning %.
False. Outside of Yao and McGrady, JVG's Rockets were made up with a bunch of washed-up role players. Adelman's first year on the job coincided with Luis Scola, Aaron Brooks and Carl Landry joining the team. That is a major talent infusion. The flip side of the argument is that Yao/McGrady were hurt more often for Adelman than JVG. But on paper, Adelman had more overall talent to work with.
Yeah, another propagandist for the Rockets' organization. I'm a little disappointed that he already has the ability to start threads.
