    I don't think George Karl would be a great fit. Someone once posted an article where Karl was asked if he would like a low post center like Bynum on his team an he was quoted as saying he's "not a big man coach".

    It would be like another dantoni situation for Dwight. Do not want.

    Besides, all I really want is a coach that has an offensive system, someone that knows how to run plays, good X's and O's.

    Perhaps someone like Hollins, Sloan?

    SVG? Some are you guys are really clueless..

    It wasn't long ago SVG was literally ran out of town by Dwight, there's no fixing that. That scenario was one of the worst ways a coach can go out, if you really think Dwight and SVG are reuniting in Houston then wow. Stop throwing names out there of random coaches and actually speculate who would fit here.

    I think a Corey freakin Brewer scoring 51 on us is the tipping point. There has to be something wrong when players not know for their scoring keep getting ridiculous career highs against us. PJ Tucker, James Anderson, now this guy. Come on!

    I would give one of my balls (or maybe not) if it would mean we could pry Pop from the Spurs. Or at least one of his disciples! No more to George Karl or any offensive minded coach. We need great D, good O. We don't have to be an offensive juggernaut to succeed. This team right now is great O, terrible D.

    Speaking of Finch, has anyone heard him talk? It seemed that half time interviews were done with either Sampson or Bickerstaff. And it rarely seemed that Finch did anything on the bench. If he is being groomed, you'd think they would have him at least talk occasionally...

    Dwight and SVG have actually repaired their relationship.

    But, I agree with the poster who said Morey isn't going to hire a coach that is going to want to run their own system.

    If and when a head coaching change needs to be made, here's Kevin Durant on Kevin Ollie at the 7:58 mark.

    I feel like Hollins emphasis on defense would be really beneficiary, I mean our offensive talent is good enough already

    when an opponent gets 51 on you (and he's not even Lebron or Durant or Melo), then you know the coach has lost the team.

    yeah, SVG would be good as long as he can get along with DH. we are trying to run his Magic offense anyway.

    and it was not McHale who was responsible for Dwight's post moves, it was his time with Carroll Dawson and the Dream.
