Midterm Grade: Mike D'Antoni 

Post#1 » by Mr. E » Wed Jan 11, 2017 8:37 pm

The hiring of Mike D'Antoni was not received with universal acclaim across Rocket Fandom this past summer. Quite a bit seems to have changed as we are seeing D'Antoni's system being implemented masterfully with James Harden and all of the supporting cast.

Halfway through this season what is your grade for Mike D'Antoni? Are you ready to eat crow over the hiring? Did you predict greatness from the beginning? Are you relieved that they brought Jeff Bzdelik on board to help out on the D?

This Harden generated 3-ball offense with Bzdelik's 4th-quarter only defense has been working pretty damn well.

Eating crow. 'A' from me.
