ROCKETTES sign D`Antoni.

[DOM-Ganador]

Any of the Houston faithful should prepare themselves for another few seasons of misery and disfunction.

This re-cycling of older white dudes who never won a thing is a ticket straight to mediocrity.

Brad Stevens, and Billy "RAY" Dononvan, have put to rest the old adage of college guys can`t relate to the pros.

The league is younger, the stars younger so the coaches have to get younger.

D`Antoni must be a little hurting to take on this dumpster fire of a team.

[kidcudi92]

7 or 8 seed

business as usual

[Snowball]

Take the Over in every Houston game next year.
$$$$

[jjgold]

he is a terrible coach

another bad hire

[TheMoneyShot]

Is this going to be the run and gun Phoenix Suns all over again?

[DOM-Ganador]

Howard and Harden are poster boys for the American Cancer Society.
Who would want to coach these two??

[Grits n' Gravy]

He is a good coach. Not sure the pieces in Houston fit his offense though.

Safe hire. More of the same. How has his teams done on the defensive side historically???
Yes, OKC has great talent, but it took Donovan the whole season to get them to peak on the defensive end.
Now, they are hitting their stride and potential.

[Seto]

What are the team totals going to be against them next year? 125.5?

[BuckyOne]

I hope so - I don't know what else you do with them? Who else on the planet can help this team? They have what they have - maybe they can run better - diddle around and bomb threes at the shot clock is not winning offense. Seriously, if you had a short list of coaches you would try to get if you were the owner. (not directed just at you Money Shot - just thinking out loud here)

Mine:

Kevin Ollie
Steve Nash
Mark Jackson

[gauchojake]

I guess the message to Dwight Howard is clear

[Bluehorseshoe]

The average total on Rockets games will be around 240 next year.

[Jatt24]

Lol why the penetrate teams keep hiring this clown.

[JayDr3am]

Lol why the penetrate teams keep hiring this clown.

beats me man. hes been thrown around the league like a prostitute.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

he needed to go to minnesota.

[Nick Papageorgio]

Horrible. Silas would have been the correct selection.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Finally cueball made a post with zero grammatical errors.

Phil, Red and Pop couldn't take the current Houston roster to a title.

excellent move. Harden + Big Man is tailor made for his style. They will be much better next season

7 or 8 seed

business as usual

wrong Top 5 Seed with D'Antoni's system, if Harden is not a Diva

[The Giant]

Somehow I don't think this hiring is going to help James Harden make first NBA Defensive Team.

[Thor4140]

[sando]

he is a terrible coach

another bad hire

NO. Stick to hockey. He is the right coach for the personnel at their disposal. Excellent signing in my opinion. Oh and he most certainly can coach. Rewind a decade to the Phoenix teams of '05 '06 '07, killing it...

[DeathAdder]

Joke hire. Only reason he coached more than a season in the NBA is because of Steve Nash. guy belongs coaching in the D-league. Should have hired Mark Jackson

[Mase of Base]

Pretty sharp post op. For some reason I think James Harden is good, not 'yeah that Harden guy can ball' good but really, really quite good at the game of basketball and there aren't many in his league at this level. Does this coaching change make him suddenly decide he wants to play some d and act like a leader? No, no it doesn't, maybe 6 or 7 teams go broke midway through next season and forfeit then the Rockets are a legit 7 or 8 seed in the west.

[play4win]

harden approve this move! no defense ever no more

[lilpete]

dantoni is awful

[jjgold]

guy is too old

PLayers not going to listen plus he is not a competitor

[Mr KLC]

[jjgold]

perfect strategy to win the nba

[Nick Papageorgio]

KLC you have a hard on for D'A. As a rockets fan I wanted Silas, install discipline and defense..... but this could work with D'A. Need a rebounder, find a way to sign Bizmack off Toronto. We need boards.

100% fact Harden is top 5 talent in the league.
He also took 100 million from Adidas and was caught on camera "TWICE!" wearing Nike`s.
Forget the lack of defense for a minute, anyone who`s brain thinks it is OK to wear the Nike`s
because his Adidas contract start date hadn`t clicked in yet, is NOT the type of guy I would want on my team.
How do you coach a guy like him?

[jjgold]

MIke does it for money

He can care less if they go 30-52 every year
