just turned it on and did not expect us to be up 19

Great to see Harden, Westbrook, Gordon all playing well

China missed a good one.

Time to send D'Antoni packing...

need a new coach to convince Morey taking best shot available is better than just layup and three
layup is consider bad when your players are too short and keep getting block

WT says D'Antoni told Rockets he's not coming back.

Also says Tyrone Lue will be a candidate for the Rockets.

Personally, I liked giving an unknown commodity a shot. JVG we saw first hand - lockdown defense but awful on offense (I'd rather coax Adelman out of retirement). Ty Lue to me is only relevant because he had Lebron. In a dream world, Pop is a free agent and doesn't wanna leave Texas. But I do like Kenny Atkinson or if he's not interested, Fizdale since he doesn't seem to mind getting on his guys. Timmy D always seems like a smart guy but I feel like the plan is for him to replace pop. Dave Joerger is another guy I never thought got his fair shake, especially in Sacramento - just look how much they regressed this year after being on the cusp of the playoffs a year ago.
