    Wow, Coach Nick from B-ball Breakdown had some great insights in the video above on the Rockets offense.

    "Too often the Rockets offense has no purpose"

    "Wasted movement"

    "Rather than call a play to get a good shot, they put Terrance Jones in position to dribble the ball no less than 14 times out on top. With no time left, Harden is forced to jack up a long three. It's almost as if there is no coach out there."

    I think he would've come here anyway due to the Rockets ability to compensate him and the opportunity to team up with another star in Harden. IMO those were the primary "recruiters". Also, I would think players(extremely talented ones like Howard) would like the idea of having a GM that can wheel-and-deal like Morey and assemble so much talent on a team to surround a superstar with.

    Wow, what an insanely idiotic comparison. Other than actually drafting well, being very knowledgeable of the salary cap, considered a top 3 general manager, one of the primary faces of sports analytics, yeah, he's basically a quieter Jerry Jones. :rolleyes:

    And mission accomplished. Don't forget we were a NBA trade with the head coach being the best asset away from getting Chris Paul along with Dwight.

    I've had enough of this guy. He's clueless out there. I don't get why he still has T Jones out there. No adjustments have been made on Aldridge

    Outcoached again. McHale is a good coach to babysit a young team and impart wisdom, but at some point they need a guy who can help them win basketball games.

    His game plan against Aldridge should get him fired the moment the buzzer sounds...

    Rightly or wrongly, he's going to take the fall if the Rockets get bounced in the first round, especially like this.

    This is the least prepared I've ever seen a team look.

    I hope the McHale apologists like jtr Lars and others would just keep quiet on calling him a good coach. McHale is a garbage coach

    I hate calling people out but McHale apologists are really bad

    At least with the Rockets not making past the first round, Mchale will most likely be fired. No excuse not doubling Aldridge when he's going insane.

    You and me both... this is just sad that with this much talent, McHale may start his playoff career with a 1-6 record. SMH...

    Told everyone McHale is fools gold.

    Playoffs is all about good coaching.
