[Blinebury] McHale takes the fall for team lacking cohesion and trust

I'm not bothered by McHale firing. I am bothered that they are not hiring a championship caliber coach.

 

It's not unusual for a Rockets HC to gather a hate following. The McHale hate was exacerbated by salty LOFs.

It's gotten to a point where people are thinking straight. Giving the reason that's he wasting a championship roster... This lot is far removed from that. They're still one or two trades away as they were beginning of last season.

 

This isn't our year, I'm betting we let D12 and Morey walk after the end of this season and we get back to getting players who have more chemistry than analytics.

 

Blinebury is a loser, forever

 

Did cyberx post something that Howard and Harden even did not go out for a dinner? Also Durant made a very bad comment on Howard too since we all know that Harden and Durant are friend. Taken together, there is a high possibility that those two do not like each other, but it is ok as long as you have a good coach to make that two are in the same page on court.

 

This article and many other national medias bullcraps are all the same.

Either they failed to truly understand the current status of the Rockets or they have their own agenda when writing or saying such craps.

Guys like SAS and MANY OTHERS obviously just hate Dwight, and this article as I said, because the writer's history with Harden, he afraid that if he will blame this on Harde, it will only make him look bad, so he just went with the usual route - which is the Dwight is a bad guy route.

During this hot mess of the Rockets season, our GM Morey had openly mentioned : Dwight is the best Rocket so far in this season, not only his performance and numbers speak for himself but his effort level also.

As we all know, Dwight is a superstar pass his prime and his health issue is a real concern, his future with this team still remains a HUGE question mark.

On the other hand, Harden is a young superstar and will be staying here long term.

But still, the GM choose to speak the truth and called out Harden (indirectly) and praised Dwight.

Only a few national beat writers actually aware of this simple fact, and obviously either linebury isn't one of them, or he simply did this on purpose because of the Harden history.

Either way, this article is weak and no much different than watch 10 minutes of garbage from the First Take.

 

This x100

scott brooks really

he was just fired for the same stuff mchale was fired for

 

The so called "Rockets lacking of leadership" or "Harden and Dwight is not having a good communication or relationship" are just laughable craps.

This same forking team went to the WCF with the same group of players and this is the 3 forking years these 2 played together.

Use some forking common sense.

 

I don't think that was a bad point. can you truly say who is the unquestioned leader after all this time still and has the biggest voice people will respond to? Is it Dwight? harden? Terry since he has arrived? I'm not sure anyone can. You look at any of the other true contenders and can point out who the leaders are and who players listen to.

 

Leadership is the most overrated crap in most sports.

Especially when people always like to link leadership to someone because of their age and number of years of service.

Terry and Chuck Hayes must be the leader of this team? Please stop it.

Ed Reed is not a leader, and Vince Wilfork now is not a leader, JJ Watt is. OK JJ Watt is the kind of person who would like to talk more and more emotional than Harden and Dwight, but the main reason for him being the leader is because he is the best player and worked the hardest in the team.

Just because someone is an old fart, he ain't necessary to be the leader. Harden and Dwight are the leader of this team, they may not be some smart asses but they are the best players and they have the respects from their teammates.

What is the problem on the leadership this year?

James Harden - he maybe the best player on offense, but he is a lazy ass this year, so when your leader is acting like that, of course there will be issues.

But its not like we do not have a leader, yes we do, but he is just failing on his job now.

 

Leadership is overrated? I 100% disagree with that. You have to have leadership to win in organized sports. Players need someone to follow and trust if they want to win at the highest level and succeed. There's no overrating that. it's the truth. If there's no one to follow then everyone is doing things on their own and that never results in anything positive.

 

That's the job of the coaches.

And just let you know before someone will make another "Mcfail" posting, even though the Rockets are playing a free style offense, it does not mean that we do not have a coach, he does give out orders and responsibilities and instructions to players to follow.

That's the plan before the game started.

Now after the game started, the players will look up at the one whose perform the best on the floor to be the leader to dictate the offense and defense.

Even James Harden is a lazy ass this year, but he still has the respect to some extent from his teammates, that's why when he missed a guy for a back door layup, and then he turned and yell at Capela and Harrel and others, those players will just say nothing.

Think about it, if Chuck Hayes will do the same, you really think Capela will take it like that? WHO THE FORK YOU THINK YOU ARE OLD FART?

Your best players should always lead your team's flow on the floor/field, and your coaches are the one who should guide you for preparation.

Locker room leaders are just overrated craps, these are all adults.

 

Leaders are not the job of the coaches. Believe it or not, at the end of the day the players are the ones that make everything go. They are the ones who decide if they want to give it their all or not. The coaches are there for guidance. It really doesn't sound like you are quite understanding the importance of this in organized sports whether that's because you've not experienced it or just aren't familiar with it. Whether you want to believe having leaders is overrated is on you but the simple truth is you need leaders if you want to win at the highest level of all organized sports. You want to mention they are all adults which means they're all humans. Well not all humans know how to win but eventually with unquestioned leadership they become winners.
