    Yet, the season is not even close to being 2 months old, but more like 1 1/2 months as of now. :(

    Will we see a coaching carousel go on over the course of this season, or teams play musical chairs with the head coaches?

    I don't get all the firings. Mo Cheek did a great job last year, and he is fired immediately?

    Thank God the rockets didn't do that with RA last year when we were below .500

    Expectations.

    Mo Cheek falls into the same category with Sam Mitchell. Both coaches of teams that were expected to maybe contend in the Eastern Conference because of key off-season acquisitions. Both teams are under .500 so I guess the FO felt a move needed to be made. You could make a case for both of these guys being fired.

    I don't agree with Eddie Jordan, P.J. Carlesimo(also a questionable hire), and Randy Wittman. I thought those 3 got the boot too quick.

    come on! They barely had a healthy team the whole year... plus he did a fantastic job last year and AI is playing like crap. This is ridiculous. It's almost like he's getting punished for coaching an excellent job last year.

    Overpaid , I don't see him being a superstar or star type player.
