    With the complete joke the Rockets were on defense last year it would seem that D'Antoni is the absolute worst candidate for head coach. For all their bellyaching about winning, it appears Les is more worried about money, and Morey is more worried about power. Pathetic.

    You must have missed the last two seasons of JVG here.

    Remember T-mac and his BS rants about Budwiesers and Heinekens?

    You guys give JVG way too much credit for NOTHING. Adelman came in here and turned his team into a second round team.

    What a crap owner. Thank Les for screwing us over and over again. You run JVG and Adelman out of town, then you hire McHale and now you want to bring in Pringle?

    I guess he hasn't watched how horrible he was with the Knicks and Lakers after he left the Suns.

    Is this some kind of joke? If so, the joke is on us, the fans. The people that shell out the bucks, Alexander.

    Change the roster in a couple of spots and that will help the defense and offense regardless of who the coach is. Change the culture of the team and that will fix a lot of issues. Bottom line is, we just need more capable players on the roster. These one dimensional players are not working. MDA is a very good, experienced coach. He has had success in the NBA and I think can get guys to buy into his system. Bring in an assistant to help with defense and upgrade the roster and we are set to go.

    People are already blaming Morey for this even though the Stein report (which proved to be correct) indicated pringles is Les' preference while Morey is pushing JVG.

    On one of Zach lowes podcast from earlier in the season he said he wanted dantoni to get one more shot as a head coach. So if it is Mike dantoni, jVg should be happy that he gets this shot.

    Too much calm reasoning in this post for this thread. God forbid we get a clearer picture of what MDA will do will his assistants to address the defense!!

    And yet former players (Yao, Battier, Tmac) highly supported/still support/keep in touch JVG, while Adelman never developed a real connection with anybody other than Brad Miller.

    Certainly don't hear much positive frok D'antoni's former players.

    This team currently has inmates running the asylum. They need a commanding/severe culture change. Mike freakin D'antoni is considered as a joke amongst his peers and former players.

    Doesn't D'Antoni's offense require players who can shoot? Or Steve Nash?

    HIRE GUNDY!!!
