    Terrible move. I was really hopeful that mchale would be let go in the season and then finally sign a legit HC.

    I really can't see rockets winning a title with Mchale as the HC.

    As much as I dislike Mchale, I gotta say starting Josh Smith is probably Morey's idea, not Mchale. It's possibly the promise he made when he signed Josh Smith in the first place.

    I tend to agree. McHale's coaching philosophy is very much old school, meritocracy driven. I can't picture him handing the starting position to a new player unless Morey suggested it.

    Horrible rotations and total momentum killer. This guy is a joke of a head coach. Smdh

    Why doesn't McHale give these guys a gameplan? The starting unit looks totally inept on offense.

    Howard is dragging ass out there. Mchale needs to ride the hot hand more.

    Shades of the Cato preseason signing.

    A decent W-L record (1/3 into the regular season) does NOT a championship-caliber coach make. Especially not when said coach has shown poorly in consecutive postseasons.

    Murray done goofed.

    i don't really blame the 2013 postseason...we are not beating a #1 OKC team, but 2014 was a terrible showing.

    McHale needs to hold his players accountable

    Yawnn, People were campaigning him for COY just a week ago.

    Playoffs is where he will be ultimately judged.

    mchale's system is not playoff friendly...

    lots of turnovers, no ball movement, no set plays, reckless shots, YOLO 3's, etc... i'm not counting on a sudden improvement come playoffs. although, when the shots are falling this team is a bundle of fun. they need to fall back on passing when the shots are off.

    I was absolutely shocked that he got an extension this early before waiting to see how this year plays out, and 3 yrs at that!

    McHale probably didn't want Josh Smith on the team let alone starting so Morey had to offer him an extension as a bribe to get it done.
