Good. Rocket fans deserve the absolute worst. :oldlol:

[Kidbasketball20]

Does Morey not realize how thoroughly outcoached McHale was in the playoffs last season?


They have the talent to win a ring, but I guarantee on everything they won't win anything the next 3 years with McHale against Carlisle/Pop/even Scott Brooks in a 7 game series.

[FKAri]

He's a terrible coach. Rockets' success is in spite of him.

Josh Smith and McHale.. :lol

The implosion is real

Reminds me of OKC keeping Brooks for so long.

Stupid ass teams.

True entertainment arrives if Dwightmare 3.0 arrives :lol

Morey is a joke of a GM. He might be mentally retarded. He certainly looks it.

[LoneyROY7]

Signing Josh Smith AND extending Kevin McHale?

Hell of a day for Houston fans. :lol

Can the basketball geniuses on ISH explain to me the ways in which McHale is a poor coach?

Poor rotations. No plays out of time outs. Players aren't ready in crunch time. Relies too much on Harden ISOs. Just looks completely lost at times.

He was absolutely out coached in last years playoffs.

Took him three games before he stuck Asik on LMA to slow him down but by then he had already taken the Rockets soul.

all this has improved this year. rotations weren't really poor either. you're just mad bcuz rin didn't play when you wanted him to. Houston all of last year played a tight rotation. He wasn't really outcoached as much as LMA went Godmode and Harden played like shit. In the 4th q Lin made tons of mistakes that lost them like 2 games, and his defensive coaching left a lot to be desired.

He's not as bad as Brooks but this reminds me of people always acting like Brooks is getting even a little bit better and then he always recedes into the same jackass coach come playoff time.

Much like the way Westbrook isos get pinned on Scott Brooks, its impossible to know if McHale is actually calling for an iso or if Harden just doing whatever he wants, knowing he wont get benched. Coaches hands are often tied like that.

Some of what youre saying may be true, but I just think the fact Harden has no heart and Dwight has no maturity are much bigger factors in the Rockets' limitation than what McHale is doing.

well both are playing well at the moment so
i don't think mchale is a good coach but he deserves credit for HOU's turnaround defensively. he might be growing as a coach who knows. imo he's too much of a player coach like brooks in OKC to really clamp down. players like dwight respond to coaches that are up their ass all the time like SVG

They are playing quite well for the time being, tho Ill continue to have doubts about those two in the playoffs until proven otherwise.

Josh smith guaranteed a starting spot over Terrence Jones when he gets back :oldlol:

Mchale on longterm :oldlol:

[Mr Exlax]

McHale will be fired hopefully if we do horrible in the playoffs. Why not do the extension after the playoffs. I am on suicide watch for real.

Honestly if he doesn't use the same "jack up 3s" offense in the playoffs Rockets can get to WCF. If Harden/Howard/Smith play up to their potential they are a scary team. They have legit defense this year, that's the difference.

I feel like this season will be the one with most upsets, doubt OKC/Spurs will make the WCF. Warriors, Rockets, Mavericks, Grizzlies have all improved. Same goes for the East, Cavs are vulnerable and Hawks, Raptors, Wizards, Bulls look better. Can't wait for the playoffs. :bowdown:

To Dwight and Rockets anti-fans, this is Christmas a day early.

To be fair to McHale, last season he had all of four years of starter experience on his team, minus Dwight who was playing his first season in Houston.

For the last few seasons, he's taken hot garbage and done very well.

[Euroleague]

Why would anyone be surprised at this? It's obvious that Morey is the real coach of that team, and the "coach" does nothing but follow whatever Morey's orders are.

I agree 100%. That's why Rick Adelman left, because Morey wouldn't give him the freedom to do what he wanted to do with his team.

[MiseryCityTexas]

yea this true


Morey's really trying to destroy the Rockets by trading for Brewer, Signing J Smith to a locked in starting job, while D-Mo and T jones come off the bench. :rolleyes:

You've gotta be fvcking kidding me. :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm


I feel like the Rockets are like OKC lite. They clearly have the talent, but they keep hanging onto shitty coaches that don't know what the fvck they're doing.

[stalkerforlife]

Great coach.

I don't get the hate.

He can't help Harden shits the bed in the playoffs.

[Rolando]

2-1/2 games out of first place in the West.....Time to make a coaching change! Get this guy out-a there....They could do better.

Pretty sure coaches are judged on their postseason success rather than their impressive ability to be the 4th season a couple of months within the season. :facepalm

Which shitty coaches are you referring to?

[YouGotServed]

The f*ck does Leslie Alexander know about basketball? Let your GM do his job, old man. Morey is too smart to keep McHale for 3 more years. It was pretty obvious this was Leslie's call. He's literally costing Houston a championship title. Old hag should just kill himself.
