Sources: Rockets leaning towards D'Antoni is also a way to show Dwight the door

    idiot Les is still stuck in the past and is obsessed with the old school Suns who were a good regular season but **** the bed everytime in the playoffs.

    I'm starting to think about what Les is doing. We scored 91.2 ppg against the Warriors. Les probably sees the big issue as us not being able to score. Last time D'Antoni had a good roster, they should have been in the Finals except that Big Shot Bob got in the way with fight interference followed by Amare-out-for-a-game-7... and they scored in bunches. Put pressure on other offenses to put up points.

    I don't know, maybe this makes sense in a world where OKC and GSW put up all those points this year. They are the ones in the finals. The game no longer lets you play stiff defenses without getting called for fouls. Maybe Les is accepting the league for what it is?

    I just hope we get some high percentage shooters and a distributing pg over here.

    Im ok with d'antoni. For all of the focus on the Rockets bad defense, lost is the fact that the Rockets went long stretches without points. That was exponentially worse when Harden was on the bench. D'antoni can fix this offense. We cant get any worse defensively. Right?

    I predict D'Antonio will be fired at the end of next year.

    so the answer is you don't go about fixing the biggest issue the rockets had this past season which is defensively? doesn't really make sense to be

    D'antoni is not ideal but atleast he's not totally stupid like JB. Rockets biggest problem is not being able to find talented role players anyway.

    If this is true, it's a stupid reason to pick a certain coach.

    i wonder if you wake up each morning and make a conscientious decision to be one of the biggest mouthbreathers on this board or if you simply can't help it.

    I thought about this earlier and thought it was too silly of a thought to consider.....so does this mean they're serious about Pringles or just using him to get Dwight to opt out? They can't wait that long...

    I think he's talking about us because he says the magic are focused on a few...we're the ones with 30 candidates.
