Trade Harden, trade Howard. We don't need them.

30 assists on 39 made baskets. offense wasn't a huge issue. just stopped hitting shots for a little. foul count was 15-5 in the second half. tough to overcome that

Hawks kept getting second chance points too. There was no reason DMo/TJones/Smith shouldn't have been pulling down rebounds instead of giving them that many chances. Can't give up a lead like that, can't turn it over, and can't go cold, but the refs did make sure to stop any momentum we did get going. Brewer brought the energy, but he just didn't make the baskets he usually makes. him, D-Mo, and Ariza's shooting percentage was pretty bad. Terry showed out tonight which was a plus, but we needed more from Bev and Prig as well. Also, what happened to TJones late in the game?? there was a pretty lengthy stretch where he wasn't in the game, had been playing well, and was surely needed. i just don't get that. A fresh Harden tomorrow should do wonders, but I'm curious to see how the rest of the guys play. I wouldn't be mad if Dorsey got SOME king of FT. Some.

Jet and Stompa were balling too
We definitely missed Harden, he would've closed the deal. But then again, we wouldn't have had great ball movement.
On to the next one, Memphis

of course they did. and if we don't stop hitting shots in the 4th, we win that game easily and no one credits mchale at all.
and please tell me by guys on the radio, you don't mean clanton and zierlien. clanton is a fan boy, and zierlien should stick to football for everyone's sake.

Im not saying McHale needs to go. I'm content with him because we could be worse off. I just don't think he deserves any type of special credit.
The only thing that has changed since last year is we have a better supporting cast and we actually try to play defense.
We've seen who McHale is, but it really doesn't matter. This team has enough to win whether we're being coached by Kubiak or James Naismith.

If we don't make it out of the first round, he needs to go. If we don't contend for a ship within the next couple of years, he needs to go.
that extension was silly, but I respect wanting to make your guy feel comfortable in the present

who would you replace him with?
we could very easily lose in the 1st round, same for any team in the west. i think the only team i can comfortable say would advance is golden state, and that's predicated on them not playing OKC. everything is up in the air.

we have the talent to be a bonafide top 4 seed in the west. I really want to say we have the talent to be better, but I'm being conservative. So McHale can't hide behind the "toughness of the west". If he can't give us the push we need to reach our full potential, he needs to go.
Alvin Gentry
Lionell Hollins
JVG?
JB BICKERSTAFF !?!
anybody from the Spurs tree
I haven't thought too hard on it, but there will be some viable options available

Won't blame that loss McHale, but I'll continue to say that McHale = Kubiak, a really cool likable dude that needs everything perfect around him to win, or needs to be in a lesser role. As far as the team overall, unlike the Kub-led Texans, I feel like the Rockets can win in spite of their coach.

I like that comparison. but I feel like the Rockets are in a better position now to contend than the Texans have ever been. So its compounded even more with McHale's situation

That was pretty much what I was saying. Due to pure talent I feel like they can go far, especially with bball being an individual game sometimes. 1-2 people can completely takeover a game in the NBA. That can somewhat happen in the NFL, but there's still so many outside factors (See: Watt destroying folks, while the offense stalls or throws INTs). Kubiak never had it all at the same time, but at his disposal was a HOF receiver, great running back, very good line, Philips coaching the defense (which initially saved his job), a future HOF DE, a very good QB, amongst other things (assistants, etc), and was never able to finish the job. Though i feel McHale is a hindrance, he shouldn't need all of that for the Rockets to go far. Even with that comparison, I hope it's not a dead-on comparison, where we waste guys high-level years, and forced to clean house sooner than we want.

Of course I can say we shouldn't have given up a double digit lead, and that we shouldn't have had to scrap back from being down double digits, but nah, **** that, we got totally screwed
