The right coach for this team is about to be available.

No. Larry Brown was good for Francis and Yao. Bad for Tmac and Yao.

Adelman is better for Tmac and Yao.

 

larry brown does everything that you people b**** about in van gundy. after listening to an entire season of crap i find it hard to believe that some of you guys want to bring in larry brown. i'm convinced most people don't have any idea what the hell they want in a coach but for some reason it CAN'T be van gundy.

adelman i at least understand, he's totally different from jvg, but larry brown?

 

i don't even want to list the reasons why larry brown is the WRONG coach for the rockets. i just think that $50 million dollars for 23 wins is one hell of a contract for LB, way to go larry!!! it never ceases to amaze me how much money the knicks throw away.....

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

Brown is over-rated.. all the wins he got were because of AI, Reggie Miller, and the crazy 5 in detroit.. we've seen his true abilities in NY.. they have the biggest payroll in the NBA and they are the 2nd worst team..he sucks.. forget about Larry Brown..same story for Phil Jackson.. the only coaches I'd take IF AVAILABLE (and I know they are not) are Mike D'Antoni, G-pop, or PJ Carliesmo (I dont know how to spell it. )

 

Just get Adelman. He could make more use of Yao and our small guys with all that back door cutting and running off screens. T-Mac will run the offense and be the enforcer, Yao will be the go to guy outside of the pick and rolls and backdoor cuts.

 

Per Big M:

" larry brown does everything that you people b**** about in van gundy. after listening to an entire season of crap i find it hard to believe that some of you guys want to bring in larry brown. i'm convinced most people don't have any idea what the hell they want in a coach but for some reason it CAN'T be van gundy."

BAck at ya Big M. I'm wanting to dance with the one I came with. JVG stays. He is under contract another year. Brown is over rated-though his teams almost always improve in the beginning, he will alienate those around him and bale out. Brown would leave us in tears.

We know what we have now in JVG- let him coach out his contract and then decide. If we are injury free-or at least not war wounded next season- I expect we will make the playoffs. With the chemistry we will develop, we can make it to the second round.

At this point Adelman looks like a better Rockets coach to me than Brown. I wished we would have hired Dunleavy. We have Van Gundy under contract.

Keep Van Gundy- we will be better off for it.-I am a Rockets fan first.

 

Gucci888 is right. We need some stability on this team. Brown doesn't bring that. Adelman or Don Nelson is better than JVG.

 

LB plays the media like no other coach; look at the spin job he pulled to leave the Pistons. In fact, I would argue that he uses the media against his players, unlike JVG who is merely being honest. For evidence, look no further than the 2004 Olympics debacle and the 2006 NY Knicks. We blame Marbury for being a jerk, while probably Larry Brown is just as bad.

 

Ha, they just mentioned in this Net-Heat playoff game how Van Gundy mentioned that Jason Collins deserves mention to be Defensive Player of the Year. And the Nets front office has been echoing that spreading the word around. Apparently Van Gundy still has some respect around the league of his observations

Please no to Larry Brown. Dont think the players on this team would immediately warm up to a Van Gundy firing and a Brown hire. Give it at least one more year with the current group. Let this Daryl Morey guy compute the numbers, make his assessments first then go for drastic moves. Van Gundy's only missed the playoffs once. Maybe that won't sit in well with him and even his stubborn self can learn something from last year. Larry Brown can't heal Tmac's back and Yao's foot. And yeah hearing Larry Brown during the Olympics was reeaaally annoying.

 

No, no, no, no....and a FIRM....NO !!!

The guy is a ME only coach, there is a reason he left a championship level Detroit team, and never stays more than 3ish years.

I know him from my days covering the Spurs for KSat 12 in San Antonio, he is an arrogant a$$ !!

JVG reincarnate - I would rather have Adelman.

DD

 

Brown isn't available. He hasn't made the powerplay for GM or Presidential powers yet.

 

I thought you guys wanted a coach who could adapt to his players?

 

I never said they wouldn't. I just said that Brown and Jackson are not the type of coaches at their age and mental disposition to coach a team made up with many young players. Larry Brown just quits when he realizes that he just cant coach a team that need to be coached. His recent history is very well documented.

 

I thought Van Gundy is critisized because he publicaly disses his players, Larry Brown is just worse in that regard and that part of the reason he's being released.

 

nod, any coach not jvg is ok

 

The right coach for this team is coaching in LA right now. And his name ain't Phil.

 

JVG reincarnated?

You guys obviously need to let go of Gundy hate and rationalize for one sec about Brown.

He is a GREAT coach.

But, name me ONE player who loved playing for him. Name me ONE organization that loved having him and said so publicly. Even Dumars would just say that he got us a championship and we will be forever grateful.

Please. Guys, I am in NYC. I see LB. I read all about LB. If he ever came to the Rockets I guarantee you within ONE YEAR he will say something to piss off Yao and T-Mac. The man is a ME coach. ME ME ME. He doesn't have the loyalty of his players nor will he ever and nor did he ever.

Gundy has the respect of everyone he comes in contact with. Even the Knicks would hire him back in a minute. The fans around here still adore him. He is well respected in the NBA not because he is a championship coach, but because he is a COACH. Larry think its about him. Second, he thinks its about him. Third, he thinks its about him and lets not forget the most important reason NOT to hire this man...he thinks its about him.

You guys might be right in the end Van Gundy might not be the right fit for this team. I still think he is. But I could be wrong in the end. But LARRY BROWN? OMG!!

Don't make me puke. He got his "dream job" since he is from this area. And what he did with it? He thinks in one year he can turn around probably the worst franchise in sports right now? What an idiot.

I understand Adelman. Even though we won't ever play a lick of defense. I can understand Dunleavy. Again. A nice team to look at but no D.

But the Rockets and the fans will hate the day Larry comes to Houston. The guy is a LOSER no matter what he wins on the court. He is a drama queen if I ever saw one. You guys hate Gundy his personality? Man, wait to you see the drama queen in action. His illnesses. His stress. His open doubts about his players. His remarks about his love for what he does right before he leaves the Rockets hanging like he does every one else he coaches. And GOD FORBID we don't win a championship! Oh! it will be Dallas in the 70's with all the lines this man will spew out. Oh man. At least for you guys that want the spotlight on Houston, with Brown, you will definitely have it nice and bright.

Put that in Clutch Classics!

 

AAAAAUUUUUUUGRGGGGGGGGG, SPutter, Splitz, . THE DUMBEST POST IN HISTORY. No to Brown, No to thinking about Brown as a Rocket. The worst coach of the last few years. Larry Brown is to coaching what Darius Miles, or TIm Thomas, or Derek Anderson, or any other overpaid, undermotivated, all me, its not my fault, no heart, no effort pro basketball hack is. What a dumb idea

 

It's amazing how the stink of losing has infected Brown in one year. He won a championship what, 2 years ago? He's been successful everywhere he went (even the Clippers), but all of a sudden he's a chump? I guess Stephon Marbury really is a coachkiller.
