Not shocking the way the season has started. 




But is it a coaching issue or a GM issue?

Cuz you can't fire Howard and harden.
Those two are the beginning and end of the organizations issues.

dumb move , he just got them to the wcf and came back from 3-1 against the clips.

Howard and harden are to blame......

This is perfect. Olynyk's been needing a low post coach.  :laugh:

In all seriousness, can we have Kevin back in the organization now?

Lawson said they had a player's only meeting yesterday and it was really telling how he told the reporters that McHale and the coaches would tell them to run one play and they would do something completely different once they got on the floor.

Below average coach. Should have been fired 2 years ago.

That Rockets team deserves a better coach.

That seems like it was a winning strategy.

I think it's a player issue. No one in that team has any heart despite the talent that they have.

Howard and Harden got them to the wcf and came back from 1-3 vs the clippers, too

You can't give McHale all the credit for it.  Something happened since last year, and it semis like that something is Lawson

So once they lose 3 of their next four what would you be willing to give up for Harden?

He's been pretty bad this year, no hustle, matador on defense. Sure don't look like the runner-up to MVP. Would you give the Nets pick, our own 1st, Sully and Rozier for him?
