    Our board has become very divided, especially concerning the head coaching position.

    There have been numerous arguments about JVG and Adelman, whether one is better than the other, offense vs. defense etc..etc....etc....

    I propose we stop the bickering about JVG, as the decision has been made, and as all of us are Rocket fans we should support our new coach, and see what he brings to the table.

    Lateral move, or upgrade? It doesn't matter now, the deal is done.....let's give Rick and Morey some time to see what they are going to do for us passionate Rocket fans next year.

    I think at the end of the day, we all just want a good quality basketball team that competes deep into the playoffs.

    Whomever the coach is..........


    Olive branch extended, forget the bickering.....let's all get on the bus and root for the Rockets.

    GO ROCKETS !!!

    I'm underwhelmed, but I'm hoping he's the guy to take these Rockets to the next level.

    Hopefully, Yao and T-mac will stay healthy and the team will add some more quality pieces around them. Regardless, Adelman is the guy now, and he's got my support. Here's to a long run of playoff success and maybe another banner for Toyota Center.

    Time? They got one year to get us to the second round in the playoffs or they should be shown to the nearest exit.

    Pipe dream!!! They both have shown that they can't stay healthy for the entire season. Despite how much I enjoy watching them when they are healthy, I say trade them both!!!

    Edit: This probably deserves its own thread.

    Apparently you thought an "Olive branch" was meant to be used as a bludgeoning tool.

    :)

    I would appreciate it if this thread could be about "going forward" together.

    Sing it with me .....

    Someone's passing team.....cumbayaaaa
    Someone's passing team.....cumbayaaa
    Someone's passing team......Cumbayaaa

    Oh team.....Cumbayaaaa......

    Someone's scoring team....cumbayaaaa....

    Wash, rinse, repeat.....


    GO ROCKETS !!

    Yeah! What fun! We will all agree and march forward all together. Hey, we only need one thread, the "Everything is Wonderful thread". Clutch make it happen. Shut down all discussion and disagreement. God forbid sports fans disagree about their team.

    No doubt about it, sports fans are gonna disagree. But this is an agreement thread.........what is done is done........

    Let's concentrate on what can make the team better next year......

    A place for haters to put aside their differences and remember why we are all here in the first place.

    Our love for the Houston Rockets .......not the owner, or coach, or any particular player....but the HOUSTON ROCKETS !!

    OK, Rick has been around a day or so AND No Championship Rings! I say fire the putz.

    BTW just smart is Rick Adelman anyway? The team he wants to coach appears to have decided to fire it old coach before the playoffs and perhaps before the start of the year. Is it any coincidence this has been the last year for both JVG and CD? Does any coach in his right mind think that they can do better than JVG did last year, given the injuries to the Big Two that the team had to play through?

    JVG is our new Clutch the Bear as shown on photoshop the joy/pain and I'm happy. It's easy to go forward when you're not a JVG supporter and I suspect DD is not.

    Change is tough but sometimes it's necessary. JVG is gone off to ruin some poor High School teams offensive game.

    DD,

    Its easy for you to say since you (and me) got what you wanted short of Adelman naming Vspan the starting PG. :D

    Fixed it for you.

    I am already behind Adelman.
    I would rather have kept Van Gundy, but that's over.

    So get Adelman some players! I really don't care who coaches as long as he doesn't have to coach any of the following:

    Snyder
    Alston
    Hayes
    J Howard
    Deke
    Head
    J Lucas III

    I will give VSpan and Novak some slack although moving them would be nice also.

    might as well keep Battier to back up TMac at the 3.

    There GO ROCKETS- get rid of the trash so we don't have to go through another coaching change in 3-4 seasons.

    Thanks for the olive branch, now let's also extend it to JVG and let's all stop posting like we fired him because he was a bad coach. He wasn't. ;)

    this is pretty weak in light of all of your jvg bashing over the years.

    now you want to stop the bickering and arguing about coaches?

    WAR JVG!!!

    epic, im out, rack me!

    DaDa sounds like a politician who just got elected to office and is trying to mend fences after he ran a campaign to tear down the other side.

    Blah whatever.

    I am fine with Adelman.

    JVG couldn't get it done past the 1st round so it was time for a change.

    Go Rockets!

    Yes, I realize that.

    And, IMO, if Adelman starts doing a poor job, I will be all over him as well.

    All I care about is the Rockets team and their success....nothing else matters.

    GO ROCKETS !
