Thanks for starting this thread. I love to see updates on the Rockets. I'm hardly on social media (self-imposed ban) so it's nice to have a place where I can get latest news.

 

Coach and Jeremy together hmmmmm

 

The Rockets looked butt tired at the airport. Did they fly to Taipei immediately after finishing the game in Manila?

 

Yeah. McHale is on a serious troll roll...

Perception management... many people are mad.

 

You got it wrong. Taiwan trolled McHale by making him sit next to Jeremy. :grin:

"Keep your enemies in front of you." lol...j/k :grin:

Jeremy could speak Mandarin at the press conference but spoke English instead so that McHale could understand (Coach's decision? )

 

Yes, I believe the commentator mentioned that after the game, they were to fly to Taipei.

 

Yup, lol

 

Sounds like McHale wants to leave Taiwan alive

 

is there a video?

 

He's telling the audience what they want to hear. I do hope he is sincere.

Taiwan wasting no time putting Coach McHale in the hot seat

I love how silly and fun Dwight can be! I hope there's a video of this performance somewhere. Also, I'm still waiting for some Parsons in Taiwan updates!

 

Lol.

I think there was a backlash.
