The Jazz not winning a championship has more to do with Malone being a choke artist than a legit offense that turned the Jazz into perennial contenders.
All these coaching change propositions are maddening, give a lot of people headaches. Point guards thrive in McHale's system, Shooting guards thrive, Shooting 3's and 4's thrive, as do screen and rollers. Our personnel fits McHale, and he fits them. We have one of the best offensive systems in the NBA, and it's 150% sound in theory, and execution. Defense lacks, because we are young, and so many posters just don't get that. We have too many LOF's posting hate, because when u get a game like Dallas, where Beverley plays supreme, and we lose, they go nuts. You guys do not remember the JVG days, where we were the most horrendous team to watch. Nor do u recall watching Jazz games with Sloan, cuz it's in the middle of loserville, where games again ended in the high 80's to low 90's. our coach isn't going anywhere, nor should he. We should have won 30 games last year, and about 35 games this year, he's good, deal with it. Every coach makes mistakes, quit hatin.
It's more like how crazy people on this board overrate him. The Blazers had that one good series against the Mavs and suddenly he's a good coach? McMillan had his team playing at the slowest pace in the NBA. So imagine JVG styled offense but with the current defense of this team. 'Cause he used a similiar D scheme. Same scheme, players, but different coach, = same results on D. That would be Sarge's Rockets
I repped you in my mind. You're absolutely right, and Morey loves McHale and was saying he should be coach of the year, so he's not going anywhere. He's had to deal with an entirely new roster before training camp, the turnover from last season is insane. Then we got Harden the day the season started. Then we signed Patrick Beverly. Then we kind of figured out our rotations and had a certain rhythm. Then midseason, he lost not only his starting PF but the one who backs him up too. Oh, not to mention the backup PG. He's pretty much had to reinvent and figure everything out as the season has gone. All of that on top of losing his daughter in the middle of the season. And with all of those things, we've surprised everyone. Seasons been going well. Everyone is giving the Rockets huge props for what we're doing. Nothing to complain about but people will b**** and moan. I've learned to pretty much not care.
I cannot see McMillan. He plays at a snails pace and the Rockets are not going to go that route with Harden and Parsons on the team.
He has actually, he's a good coach working with what he has. Tpups has had more injuries than anyone. They're so decimated that they had to start to Dleague guys. Too bad he'll never be back here.
What evidence is there that McHale does not get along with Lin or Asik? I haven't heard of McHale having issues with any players other than Lowry, and that was because Lowry wanted his starting job back. McHale is a players coach, I don't think there will be any issues in that regard. If McHale is not back it will be because of performance or because he does not want to be back.
It has been half season past, I did not see any improvement on setting the screen or rotation defense, most of the time. I mean most most of the time. The coach systems looks like simply love the player who just "seems" to stick to current opposition player. No matter how the player shoot, as long as you stood over there and do nothing. And nothing became your fault.
I'd rather watch 88 point wins over 120 point losses. That also tells me you haven't watched Rockets basketball long enough. In that year, JVG's Rockets had the best record in NBA after all-star break, and they went over 100 points regularly.
let me preface this by saying that, although mchale is not my favorite coach, we are in no way going to fire him. he's taking the youngest team in the league to the playoffs. i mean, what more do you want? you want the youngest team in the league to compete for a championship, and if that doesnt happen, you fire the coach? no. this is a process. the players like mchale, and they like playing for him. he may not be the best in-game coach, but it's clear that his work with big men has paid off. although i go to IU, i do have to admit that i like sampson as a coach. i thought he did a good job as interim coach.
There's no evidence that he "does not get along" with those guys. In fact, from what we know of these two guys, they seems to be extremely easy to get along, low maintenance guys. But there is evidence that McHale does not have the same level of confidence he has shown to guys like Parsons, Patterson, and Delfino. Do you disagree? Whether you and me believe that Lina dn Asik deserve the coach's trust is immaterial. If the FO believes those players should be valued, then he has a problem. The subject of this thread is about the possibility of him being fired.
