    It doesn't matter how long each of the threads are. The point is, people criticize the coach for every little thing that goes wrong, and most of the time ignore the things he does well.

    I'm far from a McHale apologist, and he definitely is not a good game manager at times, but when people say McHale is one of the 2 or 3 worst coaches in the league, it's very hard to take such opinions seriously.

    Hey listen I will always defend Tracy, I was his biggest fan. But the way he came back and the evidence put up on the site about him not working hard including him quitting on the play in Toronto it was hard to root for him after that. It's not like he got injured and left it was him saying I feel fine and I'm coming back stronger than ever and then nothing.

    No, I do not think so, people know he is a very good coach, and he led the team going to the second round playoffs. His decision making on the court was good too. Only a few people would say "Fire him".

    I know that people would have thought of it as an upset but I think we were more prepared and just better. The Lakers had no idea what was going on.

    Basketball ignorance and hatred for McHale are inversely proportional.

    I've been thinking in possible available coaches in case the Rockets get eliminaetd again at the 1st round and Les & Daryl fire McHale.

    - Tom Thibodeau
    - Monty Williams

    - Mike Malone
    - David Blatt
    - Jeff Van Gundy
    - Scott Skiles
    - Lionel Hollins
    - Alvin Gentry
    ...

    There were people that wanted to fire adelman, but it wasn't because he was a bad coach.

    It was more because many fans were tired of being mediocre and just wanted a fresh start. Yao/Tmac were gone and Adelman was bough in to coach those guys.

    Again...McHale wouldn't be here if the front office didn't hire him and then extend him 3 more years. All blame at this point should directly be on the front office. McHale is just an extension of the FO's ineptness.

    McHale is a puppet who let's Morey run personnel while keeping his mouth shut. Very hard to bring in another coach that will let Morey run the show.

    Anyway, our version of the Read and React is horse**** compared to other teams that run a Read and React. Ours version is a No Read No React Give It To The Beard.

    Would you trust anyone on this team besides Harden with the ball in crunch time?
