    I have never seen a coach orchestrate team losses like this, going away from what was working and to what clearly isn't...jesus.

    At least Milkhair got us to the WCF in one of the craziest playoff comeback series of all time by sticking with what was even if it pissed off Harden

    I vividly remember every Milk season and let me tell you even the last season he got fired was better than this crap

    How many games have we lost now when ahead just because Ime refuses to change the lineup in last 5 minutes.

    Truthfully, McHale was underrated . For all of McHale's faults, overall he has 2nd best winning percentage in Rockets coaching history. (Behind D'Antoni). Sure D'antoni raised the ceiling, but McHale advanced as far as D'Antoni did.

    Winning record with Chase Budinger & Jordan Hill in the rotation. His own daughter died during the season of his 2nd year. Only had 1 bad start to a year, and that was internal Dwight Dickerson drama more than McHale.

    So McHale can have legit coaching merit over Ime

    McHale wasn't great but I don't remember thinking "this lineup doesn't make any ****ing sense" nearly as often as I do now.

    I get the sense that McHale kind of just let guys do their thing.

    Ime is clearly telling these guys to run these bonehead plays.
