    Yea, yea when we win, Dantoni gets no credit. When we lose Dantoni gets all the blame. You gotta stop.

    If D’Antoni took a trip to Disney world the defensive scheme doesn’t change

    No
    I won’t stop criticizing our coach when he has a wile e coyote philosophy on defensive and time outs

    We still haven’t gone to the finals since 1995
    We’re not paying the coach to have a great regular season

    The foul trouble hampered them, too.

    Can you explain to me why we haven’t won a title with our talent ?
    I can
    Coaching
    -low to no rotation off the bench
    -not caring about the bench
    -playing starters too many minutes in the regular season so they tire out in the playoffs
    -no defensive adjustments
    -no time outs

    Etc

    Have you seen a team we've lost to in the playoffs with less talent than us? Do you realize we only lose to GS or San Antonio and both times we've been less talented.

    Also...yall need to cool it with the time out stuff.

    I’ve seen rockets coaches fired before

    there’s no trophy for moral victories
    If you think the teams are significantly better than us then that’s a bigger problem
    @Reeko @Os Trigonum

    I want a championship . But that’s not what the majority of this board wants

    Any true Rockets fan wants a championship first and foremost.

    You are being disingenuous now.

    Name a better HC that is available?

    And MDA had nothing to do with firing Bzdelik - that was all Tilman.

    Be realistic Tin, none of those coaches are available.

    And Brad Stevens has won jack even with all their 1st rounders, all stars, award winning FO and consistent depth.

    C's looked extremely rusty to start game vs. Bucks and did not have enough to pull off win in closing minutes of regulation.

    Maybe he should have played his starters a few minutes in the last scrimmage?

    And mike hasn’t been fired so your hypothetical is countered by mine

    we can come back to this when he gets fired

    The difference is that I'm not advocating firing a HC without any kind plan to hire a better one.

    Hope is not a solution.

    I don’t think I said He’s going to be fired
    I’m saying that’s down the road if we fail to reach for the finals
    We don’t have harden and Russ forever

    Even with the adjustment we still lose to the Cavs in the finals. Our talent didn’t matchup to the warriors after Chris Paul went down. Adjustments or not, we didn’t realistically have a chance.

    You can’t predict something that never happened

    we didn’t make the finals
