D'Antoni is February's WC coach of the month

I guess that 12-0 with 8 on the road is a pretty decent record.

And to think that he had such awful fit to work with on the roster. There's only one ball!

But seriously, a lot of credit here needs to go to Associate Coach Jeff Bzdelik. I know that the general opinion around NBA fandom is that the Rockets play no defense whatsoever; but the addition of BzDelik has been as important as any other signing the past couple of years.

All in all a good month for Houston, now let's watch them finish even stronger!

GO ROCKETS!

Congrats, D'Antoni!

Not bad for a guy who doesn't know a lick about defense. :wink:

That, and bringing in Luc/Tucker have been great additions defensively that are really underrated. We all knew the offense had the potential to score a ton of points(even more so now with Paul), but being able to get stops and be more physical on defense is necessary if they really want to compete for the ultimate prize: (a chance to bang Kate Upton), another championship in H-Town, baby!
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.
