Seems to me the Rockets have a history of firing a coach the season after a 52-win season and awful first-round loss.
12-23. 45 wins, which is still questionable for the playoffs, means going 33-14, or consistently playing over .700 basketball. Right now,...
Of course, that won't matter either. Should the Rockets fail to make the playoffs, Le$ should do the right thing, and bring in a new head coach...
The problem is...they are. Mr. Van Gundy is the head coach, and the buck stops with him. The fact that he prefers and chooses older guys...
Unfortunately Le$ folly will keep Mr. Van Gundy around for at least one more season.
...and should the Rockets miss the playoffs this season (a definite possibility), with Mr. Van Gundy still in place, you won't be able to say that...
Apologies on the Chaney error. He did "take the Rockets to the playoffs every time he was their head coach at the end of the regular season"...
You forgot the words "...in the 2004-2005 season." As Rockets head coach, Mr. Van Gundy has done no better than Johnny Egan, Tom Nissalke, Don...
What if Le$ had a championship-caliber head coach?
Seems to me, that would improve the Rockets! :D
So has every other NBA coach...until they fail to make the playoffs. Mr. Van Gundy has never been eight under .500 more than a third of the way...
...and with nothing to back it up, that "guarantee" is not even worth the electrons being used to display it.
You "BELIVE" wrong. Against their immediate competitors, the two seasons were a draw. Down the stretch, the 2000-2001 team did slightly...
In situations where your team is not 100x more talented than the opponents, International tournament basketball is nothing but adjusting your...
I would call taking non-NBA players to a Bronze medal in a world championship, and taking a strong (but not "Dream Team") NBA team to a gold medal...
Of course, there is the little point that Mr. Van Gundy had an extra NBA-experienced 7-6 center on that roster.
Nonsense. 45 regular season wins in 2000-2001. 45 regular season wins in 2003-2004. Steve Francs was on both of those teams.
At 15-30, the assumption was 90 wins would put the Astros in position to compete for the playoffs. The turnaround would require 75/117 =...
Firing the head coach?
Sure it is just a guess. Short of borrowing Doc Brown's DeLorean, we cannot know the future with any certainty. However, as the old saying...
