McHale is still the coach.
/thread
I pondered how close we were to a "deconstructing" of James. But to be fair many of our hoop heroes legacy is tied to the success of role players hitting key shots in desperate moments.
MJ owes Kerr & Paxson ...
Shaqobe owes: Horry & fisher
Duncan owes: Elliott & horry
McHale is still the coach.

Benefactor I have said that all season and he does get the blame for Rox fans ...
But I still dont buy this team ...
But, James owes Pop. That's fresh.
The Rockets remind me of last year's Clippers, tbh.... a flawed regular-season team with a clueless coach....
The problem for Rocketsfan is that Morey practically has a mancrush on McFail....
Plus the media would kill Morey for firing McHale after his mother and daughter died within a year
3-0 vs Pop

People keep complaining about consistency...wtf do you expect when you have Jeremy Lin, Garcia, and Casspi playing big minutes? Lin and Casspi don't even belong in the NBA. Hamilton seems like a nice decision, and without Parson having the flu I think we may have had a chance?
Championship caliber?
I don't think so, that is going to come with time and more of a supporting cast. (Replacing Eremy Lin)
Garcia and Casspi aren't playing big minutes anymore.
Pop still has the 4>0 stick...

This discussion is about the current Rockets team...not past .

Rockets can beat anyone in the West that isn't OKC and maybe the Clippers. Unfortunately they'd have to get through either or both to win the West so their chances are slim.
You know you would take Pop over McHale in an instant, even after 6![]()
Don't tell me you actually think McHale is a good coach...
He's a player's coach but horrible playbook guy, even with that I'd roll the dice and see what he does this year in the playoffs. You s underrate him...
A moron, if he was black he would get murdered on here constantly.
A lot of coaches are player coaches, yet almost none of them ever win anything unless they have a good system or are good with Xs and Os. Doc Rivers is the only recent example yet he had Thibs backing him.
Morey: makes league-changing moves, puts together a roster capable of contending for a le, leaves McHale in charge.
yep but Doc is actually good at set plays and inbounds plays. his defense is not as good without Tibbs and KG to lead it ...
McHale rauns some ok stuff I think he has a sound basketball mind, just not a very good coach.
Doc is a good motivator and I'd rather have him than McHale, but he doesn't have a good system nor would I consider him an elite basketball mind.
Cannot disagree with you here.
True, Doc doesn't have his own system per se, but he has Gentry to run the offense and he's using the same defensive schemes that he and Thibs used in Boston.... our inconsistency on defense this year has mainly been on the personnel, not really the schemes....
He's not Pop or Phil, but replace McFail with Doc and the Rockets would be a better team, tbh....
I actually really like Gentry as a coach tbh. Might be the best black coach in the game.
And his ability to run quick hiitter sets and inbounds plays pre-dates Gentry.
I know the narrartive here is t o knock black coaches and I dont even like Doc's arrogant ass but he is a fine coach.
After Pop, RC, Tibss and Maybe Spo I would take Doc. Vogel is also good so is Hollins but Doc has a ring and that matters to me.
Casey, Budenholzer are unproven when it matters most.
No Rick Carlisle?
Oh wait, missed the RC...
