Once upon a time. Just like players, coaches can become old and washed out. Adleman just doesn't give a flying f** anymore. The Rockets were right to get rid of his ass. JVG blows too. He would ruin this team with slow dribbling, shot clock burning, 7 player rotation, useless offense.
Spot on. McHales main job is to make sure we don't become the Lakers and have an implosion because of ego. Morey and the assitant coaches can handle the strategies. McHale just needs to flash his rings and keep the young bucks focused on the prize. The players respect him, and that's the important thing for roght now. Maybe George Karl would like to come here, that would be great. Otherwise, I don't see any major upside to switching coaches. Anybody who says "JVG or Adleman" should die in a fire.
McHale used to be reeeeallly bad, but so far in the season, he's actually doing ok. I like him ALOT better than Sampson. Oh lawd, i don't ever wanna see Sampson coach us ever again.
His winning percentage is actually 55.55% after tonights (55.3% before). Don't know how you got 59.28%. That would tie him with JVG and put him behind Adelman and RudyT.
Adelman's stint with the rockets was achieved despite the lineup being plagued by injuries. He had either one or both star players injured and rarely had the benefit of a full roster. Still he achieved a historic 22 game winning streak , second round of the playoffs and the team looked like a well-oiled machine. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dwhaW2nVVcg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Mchale on the other hand is the man who lost 4 first round picks in an under the table deal for joe smith. Achieved his record through harden iso's, questionable small ball lineups, twin towers lineups, and lack of cohesiveness from the players as a unit. They won despite the coach's deficiencies. This is how stupid kevin mchale is. http://espn.go.com/columns/ratto_ray/841035.html
Despite injuries, the core personnel were already in place when Adelman took the reigns from JVG. McHale took over this team in rebuild mode. In each of McHales 3 years his roster has been vastly different. Morey likes McHale. The players like McHale. Deal with it. Disrespecting McHale is disrespecting Moreyball and the Rockets entire staff.
Morey likes Mchale . Chris Jent llikes Mchale. But the majority of fans in Houston don't have to like Mchale cause he's a former celtic. Deal with it. Disrespecting Mchale is what any decent fan of the game would do after his the despicable way he ripped off the timberwolves.
