For a guy whom a lot of us were not excited about this past off-season, he sure does be doing a good job.

Now the ageless Mike D'Antoni has been named Western Conference Coach of the Month after the Rockets posted a 15=2 record!

I guess that Coaching does make a difference!

good coach need good players too
can you imagine how Phil Jackson career will be without Jordan, Shaq, Kobe?
can you imagine how Popovich and Spurs will be without Duncan?
i guess D'Antoni and Harden are perfect match
i didn't like the signing but i understand it was Rockets best option at that time
Les isn't willing to hire inexperience head coach
the team seems to do better when i totally hate what the team is doing so i'll just let it be
anyway
congratulation Coach D'Antoni

It was tough for him to run his offensive scheme with old players who are only effective in the half court. Surprised I didn't see this working, I rolled my eyes when he got the job, but it makes sense.
