Ooooooooooh Jesus it really does look like Kenny is the lead guy

 

[HOU$TON]

I swear man...if I was Leslie and Daryl Morey walked in my office and told me he wanted to hire Kenny Smith over Frank Vogel I'd fire him on the spot

I think you're forgetting DM works for Les

They met at Les's house for the love of God

It's kinda surprising to me that we haven't named a coach yet. Didn't expect it to drag on for this long.

Took like 2 months to hire McHale *shrugs*

"they really want to hire me?!?!?!"

That's what's crazy, from news reports Leslie is driving the Smith and now D'Antoni talks. Was he even watching the games from those court side seats? This is how it should be going down in TC...

DM: Mr. Alexander...I'm thinking of offering the job to Mike D'Ant...

Are these dudes serious about bring in D'Antoni? This is a joke now

Dudes had all season to name get a coach and we shooting for this guy. Teams putting up record numbers on us if this happens

the @hoopscritic says JVG was Daryl Morey's first choice, and Daryl felt JVG was the right guy to coach James Harden

But Morey didnt want to give up that power so it wasnt going to happen

 

[Retroballer]

Sounds like if MDA gets the job Lionel Hollins could join the staff.

 

[Peep Game]

I completely loathe the thought of Dan Tony as the coach unless he is bringing other guys with him. Mostly Stephen Silas after reading up on him. I also don't see how they just let Vogel waltz to Orlando.

 

[jinkazama]

Vogel was by far the best coach available. Hard to believe the Rockets didn't pursue him harder but instead fell in love with a proven loser without Steve Nash on the roster.

 

[Tony $now]

We thought the inmates ran the asylum with JB; exactly what does DM think is going to happen with MDA

A full on circus show

A full on circus show

Frfr, a replay of this year with an even worse defensive effort.

I just don't understand the D'antoni stuff at all; do DM and Leslie really think the rockets can beat GSW by outscoring them? If so, Leslie needs to fire Morey and himself

 

[Peep Game]

^Based on the stuff I've read, Morey isn't actually the one backing Dan Tony, it's Les, but hopefully this is what comes to fruition:

Our roster sucks at the moment.

It wouldn't matter if John Wooden was coaching this team

 

[polosanddunks]

Wow.
