    Obviously you are smarter than an NBA coach with 900+ career victories...

    RA is clearly the better coach than JVG. However, I'm sure their are better coaches who know how to coach this team better.

    RA has the correct tools, just has absolutely no clue how to use them. Somebody needs to give him a directions kit.

    My point is people complain about RA a lot when in fact the team has overachieved, sure he has faults but so does a lot of teams.

    People complained about JVG while he was here when he didn't have a real talented team outside of Yao and T-mac.

    Point is fans keep blaming the coach when it is clear neither Coach has had the talent as the elite teams in the NBA has.

    Yeah, just a little bit healthier T-mac, with back problem not the knee, witch still keep him away from penetration. You might remember how many injury we had that year. And Jowan Howard was our best PF.

    Morey doesn't make all the decisions. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Morey who advised Brooks to look to score after a rebound before setting up the offense, that was Adelman.

    Adelman deserves some blame no matter what. when you have certain mistakes happening over and over or lack of execution on plays game after game, the coach isn't getting across to the players. If that's because he's not trying enough or not doing it correctly then it's on him too. You dont call a play asking Brooks, who's undersized to shoot a 3 off a pick from Yao, in which a great defender like TD is going to switch off and come after Brooks. Maybe it would work if we were down by 1-2 points since then TD has to back off incase Brooks drives, but down 3 that benefits TD because he can come up as close as possible and shadow him and not worry about Brooks' speed.

    No doubt, and I believe the Rockets will determine he isn't the PG of the future. If we still want to win now, we have to get a veteran to start at PG, and thus, my hopes of signing Bibby and trading Brooks for a more true backup SG like Barbosa. Lowry will backup Bibby.

    I did not see today's game, but I saw Brook's game before.
    A player of Brook's calibre with such a low basket ball IQ, together with poor judgment and decision-making ability, should not start in any NBA or even NCAA team. Pathetic Coach RA still trust him(I am pretty concerned about coach's judgment) and let him do whatever he likes to.
    We need change, seriously :D Or we will pay :mad:

    My view is that we don't have a team to go all the way... or even to the WCF. However there have been numerous games where i think RA's decision making has lost games. Now this isn't so bad over the course of the season as we have seen with a healthy team his system does tend to get the most out of everyone he puts on(with the exception of Yao).. by this I mean it allows Von Wafer to come in and take shots... where as other teams he would probably be told 'don't screw up and only take a wide open shot... you're only on to give someone a rest'.

    His style is probably the reason he has always been a good W/L regular season coach...without the T-Mac crap early Rockets would probably be sitting as the 2nd seed. However you cannot deny that this team far too often has failed when it comes to the crunch in close games... some of this is on the players not stepping up but a lot is also on the coach. We are going to make the playoffs thankfully and the problem is playoff series get decided by who gets the better of the close finishes, there will be plenty and I can just seeing this as being where we go down. Think of the amount of time Pop has drawn up an excellent play in the dying seconds in playoffs. If we could somehow clone a combination of RA, JVG and Pop I think we could be onto a winner!

    "I dont know" Coach,what are you doing?

    I dont know ,why the "I dont know" Coach is so addicted to aron brooks,are you buliding the team on this guy?

    aron brooks can score ,but he cost Rocket more in the defence.
    I dont know if the "I dont know" Coach can know it .It is so evident in loss to bull,to jazz ,to spur.

    I don't know. I'd like to see what JVG's teams could do under Morey's guidance and genius.

    Aaron Brooks had a +/- of +1 playing against Tony Parker most of the night.

    Kyle Lowry had a +/- of -6 playing against the second team most of the night.

    You're right, Kyle Lowry really outplayed Aaron Brooks...

    Give me a break, Lowry was given a line-up of Hayes, Barry, Wafer, and Landry to work with. Barry is useless when Yao is not in the game to kick the ball out from the post. He is too old to create his own shot. That leaves Hayes and Wafer and Landry. Hayes has no offense so that leaves Wafer and Landry. Landry was nonexistent tonight. That leaves Wafer. Yet Lowry still managed to make a few assists with such a scrubby line-up. Plus you overlook the fact, that Battier and Artest had to leave Finely because Brooks was 3 steps behind Parker all night. Those stats are misleading at best.

    To be fair, he is not a moron.
    He just does not know that he is not smart.

    Learn what the +/- stat means before you start using it.
