Mike D'Antoni introductory press conference

it's happening

 

im going just to throw pringles at him.

the ones that will leave stains and embarrassment.

 

Wow can't wait to hear about his half-hour sessions on defense.

 

I'm going to try and take the half full outlook. He is not JBB and...well, that's all I can think of.

 

Hell yeah, we worked half an hour on it. You're starting to piss me off.

:grin:

 

Whichever media member at that press conference that asks this question.....

"Daryl, at the end of the season you mentioned that DEFENSE was going to be a top priority with the next coaching hire. What convinced "you" that D'Antoni's defensive schemes were the perfect fit to elevate the Rockets?"

LOL at not naming the coach in the press release.

 

i want to see how morey spins this.

 

looking spry without the Pringles "stache

 

Cue Morey possibly stating that the city of Houston is lucky to have D'Antoni as a head coach. The Rockets probably had one great coach in Adelman the past 15 years, and it seems like the owner did not like the man, but they will possibly still gloat that who ever they hire is always a great hire along with decision for the team.

 

MDA got the job because of how he looks and his personality. There's something strangely familiar with his demographic profile (notwithstanding a JBB interim stretch)....

 

I was angry about this hire at first but im starting to come around to it....mainly because i have to. That said it was encouraging to read that Steve Kerr had D'Antoni come in and work with the Warriors on their offense a couple years ago before they took off. Cant wait to see Al Horford and Clint Capela setting illegal screens to free Corey Brewer for the 3.

 

Bring back the mustache and let's win rings

Berman should have asked him what it'll be like to work with Dwight again.
