Someone on the Rockets fan site suggested JVG with Cassell as his assistant, they obliged....

How long do you want to ignore this user?
quote:
Demar Derozan is gonna be a laker
When I saw his quote earlier I forgot that he was still in the playoffs. Dude couldn't wait a few weeks to let everyone know he doesn't really want to be in Toronto anymore?
Apparently the Rockets main goal in FA is Al Horford. That would be great addition if they can actually make it happen.
I'd like that. Finally a big man that can make free throws.
quote:Horford & Anderson? Yes please!
A person familiar with the organization told Sporting News that landing Hawks star Al Horford is the Rockets' top-line goal in free agency, and Ryan Anderson also would be a possibility.

Bring in players to fit our system...... Pretty shocking that it's taken this long for them to figure that out.
Kenny Smith no longer a candidate

Feigen hears that while TNT analyst Kenny Smith impressed the Rockets in his interview, he's not in the running for the position.
I feel like it's going to be JVG. Too much smoke for it not to be.
I hope not because he is awesome on TV.
Would anyone else be opposed to hiring Clyde Drexler as a "special assistant" to get him off of our televisions?
quote:There is no way he could be worse at coaching than he is at TV.

Chuck to Kenny: "You can be the captain of the Titanic, the president of Syria, the coach of the Sacrament Kings, or Ted Cruz. All those jobs are better than being the head coach of the Houston Rockets right now."
Hahahahaha
Hahahahaha
The Rockets have supplanted those "Big ol' San Antonio women" as Barkley's latest horse to beat into the ground...
If it's not JVG, then I dunno.

Wow this game is physical

Kenny Smith acting like he turned down the Rockets. Sure.
Yeah - pretty sure the job was never offered to him and they have a short list he didn't make.
Lebron's lifetime deal with Nike is reportedly worth $1 billion over the course of his life. That makes the deal James signed look a little less adequate.
Is there any chance Kenny never really had much interest and did this just to have some talking points on TV and some banter with Chuck?
quote:
The team was impressed with Smith during the interview process and believes he'll become a head coach one day, the source told Watkins, but the Rockets want a head coach with experience. Smith hasn't held a head-coaching job at the professional or collegiate level.

Sounds like a courtesy interview for a former player.
Can we talk about how amazing that game was last night? Loved the "let em play" style of officiating.

This is good. One of my biggest criticisms of coaches from elementary to high school is that they force kids to be what they think they should be. Too many times kids that hit growth spurts early and are forced to play in the post. Then they stop growing, everyone else catches up, and they're not taller than everyone else anymore. All of a sudden you have a 6'4 kid with no ball handling, jump shot, or quickness.
quote:Don't worry, the refs will take care of that in Game 2 and going forward.

quote:Great read for two reasons: 1) Hakeem is, and will most likely always be, my favorite player 2) It is refreshing to hear a retired NBA star talk positively about the players and the structure of the current game. Most guys love to pick apart the current players and fawn over the physical style of basketball they used to play. Hakeem was definitely ahead of his time...

thoughts on mike D'Antoni? Im a fan of JVG but seems like D'Antoni would be a better fit with the current roster.
quote:It would be very compelling to see if the Rockets could actually play less defense, but I bet D'Antonio could pull it off.

quote:for the understatement of the week
The Rockets, sources say, would seek to hire a coach with strong defensive credentials, to essentially serve as D'Antoni's defensive coordinator, if talks progress to a serious stage and D'Antoni eventually emerges as Houston's choice to replace Kevin McHale and interim successor J.B. Bickerstaff.
quote:That won't work. It's a philosophical thing with D'Antonio. If the head guy doesn't demand defensive effort at all times, having an assistant preach it won't matter.quote:for the understatement of the week
