Mike _'Antoni?

[Mawly-G]

Dwight Howard is definitely gone this summer if D'Antoni becomes their head coach.

D'Antoni couldn't figure out how to use Dwight in LA, and I don't see that changing in Houston either.

[bdreason]

Rockets. :facepalm

[Snarky Narc]

:oldlol:

Their defense was bad enough this season.

[StephHamann]

Dwight is gone now for sure. :lol

[imnew09]

Rockets stay winning


:roll: :roll:

[NBAGOAT]

bad fit, D'antoni needs a pass first type primary ball handler which Harden is not. Defense will be awful but the Rockets offense could still be top 5 easily.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Wow, rebuilding through draft I see..

[Optimus Prime]

Of all the coaches they have to choose from...

How 'bout dem analytics doe?

Harden might average 35 next year

Harden might average 35 next year

And the Rockets will struggle to win 35 games. D'Antoni is a terrible coach.

What kind of pants on head "advanced metrics" tell you that D'Antoni is a good coach?!

:kobe:

[ImKobe]

Means Howard is walking, no way is he going to play under Mike again :kobe:

good luck being more than a 6-7 seed in the West

Relax retard, I said Harden might average 35, never mentioned anything about their record, but it is obvious that D'Antoni is an uptempo offense specialist and with Dwight on the verge of leaving he will likely have a major increase in shot attempts.

Seems to me that ditching Dwight could help more than hurt, I doubt they completely fall out of contention next year if he leaves.

Rumors are saying that the Rockets would rather have another center in free agency, or even let Clint Capela be the new starting center.

knowing MDA, he'll start D'MO at center. and beasely at the 4, if he stays

[Meticode]

D'Antoni is definitely the coach Harden would want. No defense, all offense. Bye-bye Howard.
