I thought McHale did a great job with Houston in his rookie year, he got Houston whose leading scorer was Kevin Martin to a 34-32 record.
Results 31 to 39 of 39

In what world are the Rockets stacked?

The Rockets are so stacked that they have ancient Jason Terry playing 21 mpg.

Harden is the MVP, that much is true. But, the roster is, and has been all season, full of below average individuals who have morphed into a top 4 team in the league record wise. Harden didn't do that. It was McHale.

Re: Turns out McHale is actually a good coach?
Ariza, Bev, D-Mo, Brewer, TJones, etc are not below average. That's a solid group of role players, centered around a ball-dominant guard that puts it all together. They defend, they shoot, they play hard, they play together. Just because they're not star offensive players doesn't mean they're scrubs. They fit the identity of the team. Originally Posted by UK2K

Let's not sit here and act like you don't change your mind every once in a while.

Re: Turns out McHale is actually a good coach?
Not even as good as Nate McMillan was as Blazer's head coach. All he knew was ISO Brandon Roy to end every game. Same thing going on in Houston. It's Harden every time and everyone knows it. He's too predictable.
