    It will be interesting with Love's future there , will Rubio improve shooting which will make the team more dangerous.

    The bulls were a better team and had MJ, he didn't deserve it that year, but he was the best coach, PJ had the goat in his prime. He was Ref Robbed with the Kings, he deserved it those years.

    I'd love him back, so much better than mcHale, robbed of multiple championships. HOFer in my book

    Too bad minny is a joke and love isn't close to being a superstar that wimple make him out to be

    He should go coach UCLA or something and relax.

    Hey, if McHale leads this team to a title, I'll have nothing but good words to say about the man. My concern is that the Rockets' window to win a championship might not be that big(remember, Dwight can opt out after another 2 years) and we don't want to waste the prime of our superstars because we had a mediocre coach. I hope McHale proves me wrong this postseason though.

    I think the bigger question is....does this make Love expendable?

    I remember the days we try to convince ourselves that Brad Miller was the perfect center since he could run Adelman's system lol

    Adelman's injury luck actually started in Sacramento. Webber blew his knee and that team was never the same.

    I would slap you right in the mouth if you said that in my presence.

    Rudolph Tomjanovich, Jr. begs to differ

    (Sighs, when emotional fan needs a reality check:()
    Rudolph was a great coach and a Rockets legend. He also had the best center of all time starting center most of the season


    Adelman had Chuck Hayes and still had the best winning% of all time. Facts

    He ranks just ahead of George Karl as the best coach never to have won a title. My heart goes out to the guy--from the outset it feels like David Stern and his rigged NBA just never had a handout ready for Adelman. Everything Adelman did he did against the grain, and never in the league office's good graces. He was the foil to Phil Jackson, the NBA's golden boy.

    Goodnight sweet prince. May the rest of your days be happy and healthy.

    Also, Paul Westphal is underrated and in the same boat as Adelman and Karl. His demise was much overblown, because he really had that Phoenix Suns ship of the early 90's running extremely well.

    Another guy who belongs on that list despite his lone NBA championship (with the no-star Pistons, how perfect) is Larry Brown. All these guys are the behind-the-scenes geniuses that make the NBA interesting. JVG is there too. As long as Stern-Silver are in power, a van Gundy will never win a championship. They have done too much already to burn their bridges with that bunch.

    I think they just need a new black coach since they have a lot of white players than other team in the NBA.

    Exactly. If ppl read the article they would realize that it had a lot to do with the health of his wife.
