    Mchale seems to be such a kool guy and well liked by the players, but at this point he's got to be gone. You can place all the blame on the refs...and rightfully so, but all he did was help the refs bring us down. Only way I'm happy after this outcome is if they fire him TOMORROW.

    With such a stacked team, how do you lose against Portland in the 1st round.

    I want to hear the reasons he shouldn't be fired.

    I'm tired of Harden ISO. I'm tired of Dwight in the post. I'm tired of crap plays out of timeouts, and crap defensive sets.

    We need a coach that milks the hell out of a Harden-Howard PnR.

    Yes - I would ask for double on Lillard and try force 2pt shot.

    Like Jack Ramsey said: A better team will beat a superiorly talented team, if that team plays like a bunch of individuals.

    If we gave a qualified coach our talent, and he made them a team than we could win a title.

    He's history. Next in line will be Asik. Lin, sadly, isn't going anywhere. Then comes the draft and free agency. Lastly, what to do about Parsons. Yep, it's gonna be a busy offseason for Mr Calculator.

    Yes. Whether that was a Chandler Parsons mistake or a Kevin McHale mistake that cost us the game doesn't even matter. The fact that his players are making such huge mental blunders at the end of crucial playoff games BY ITSELF reflects poorly on McHale.

    It's not just about his failure to cross his t's and dot his i's. It's about the fact that he is utterly failing to get the best out of his players. If he was a good motivator and great at managing his locker room and pushing his players to give their best effort and lock down their mistakes, I could forgive him being horrible at gameplanning.

    But he's bad at BOTH. So the players like him, so f***ing what? Children like parents who give them a pound of candy and a new toy every day, that doesn't mean the parents did a good job.

    Get rid of Mcfail. I'm sick and tired of his hand drawn duck play.

    I'm sure Morey values his position that little that'd he ignore this team's biggest problem in favor of intellectual hubris... and deliberately waste Howard's last two years of athleticism and quickness.... and Harden's developmental years....


    I thought we all hailed him for being brighter than that...?

    Next year isn't guaranteed... all this team has to do is not pick up his option and voila... gone...

    I'm curious why anyone would think this. It's his option year and he's definitely not getting an extension, so it's more likely than not that the Rockets simply don't pick up his option rather than both parties suffering through a lame duck year.
