    LOL

    I am a troll now?

    No one can deny my love for the Houston Rockets.

    Only the morons are asserting that.

    Why do you have to take everything to the extreme?

    We are just dialoging here.

    And you can't deny mine

    except I know my history very well to think Mike D'Antoni suddenly became
    JVG or Tom Thib on defense

    I want Sam Cassell as our next coach.
    He belongs in Houston

    That's not the right criteria for hiring your head coach.

    As an assistant coach, sure why not.

    He's been an assistant coach for many years

    Nick Nurse was an assistant coach

    My criteria is not your criteria

    The last time we won 2 championships and the only time we did was because we promoted an assistant coach

    or did you forget ?

    I never forget Clutch City

    I think we already have a coach from the next game through to the end of the playoffs, don’t we? What happens after that, we’ll have to wait and see. Personally, I think there’s lots of time to talk about who’s going to coach the Rocks next season after we win every series and end up with trophy #3. Meanwhile, Coach D’Antoni will be available to curse and yell at right there on my TV. Heck, my 75 pound Labradoodle barks at him sometimes. She thinks he should have kept the mustache. So do I!

    Just a thought. I’m getting pumped up about this series against the team that’s from that sorry state across the Red River. I’m hoping that they use single coverage against James. If they do, I take the Rockets in 5. I want blood!

    Since MDA is still here. I'm rooting for the team that we're going to Prom with.

    But if MDA leaves. I'd take a Cassell or a Nate McMillan over the likes of Lue. Nate just extended his contract though; he's off the market. Nate's is a good coach often escapegoated when with lesser players.

    Nate was just extended.

    Lue is mediocre.

    I'm riding with D'Antoni until we don't.

    Talking about coaches right now is stupidity incarnate.

    Last time we got a rockets legend as coach we won two championships
    Bring back Sam If the position is open
    He would work great with Russ and Harden
    And he would bring back the mid range

    That team use to be the SuperSonics
    I actually preferred that rivalry

    Put poll out now since you think it's more important than the playoffs.

    I think defensive adjustments are important in the playoffs
    And I think your Homer Simpson act is boring

    some people here realize what’s has happened the last few playoffs
    You don’t have to acknowledge history

    don’t even try to test my fandom
    People want who want the best for their team understand criticism when it’s obvious

    I’m rooting for the team if we had a mannequin as a coach
    But if he keeps failing in the playoffs and does nothing to fix existing problems then I don’t want a mannequin as our coach
    I’m sure the smiling mannequin population is offended
    But not the rockets fans who want coaches that win championships

    Because I believe Rockets are contenders does not make me a homer.

    Just because I disagree with you does not make me a homer.

    But i would rather be a homer than to be a miserable living ONLY in the past crank like you.

    You are completely unable to discuss basketball on any level unless it relates to 90's championship teams.

    Your act is tired.

    You can put your this what you think act
    On other people but people can read

    Lol I go to games and sit in the lower bowl when I can

    but you can try to discredit any one of the original members If you want

    and you can hate on the championships too
    I at least learn why those teams worked from watching teams that didn’t make it

    And please DO CARE what bill Simmons says about the Rockets
    @J.R.
    Because insecure fans care what professional writers think
