Who has the most pressure with the playoffs looming?

Morey.

 

McHale, Lin, Howard, Harden and Morey.

 

McHale, fo sho. If somehow Portland upsets, he's a goner.

 

1. Howard
2. Harden

I think people will be more lax with Harden since he's young. Howard will probably get killed in the national media if we do poorly.

 

Why say Harden & Howard? Harden was in the playoffs every year of his career. Dude will be fine as always. Probably better than ever.

I'd say Howard. If we lose, it's going to be because of him. That's my prediction.

 

Morey? The guy signs Dwight Howard away from LA, Rapes OKC for Harden, drafts Parsons in the 2nd round on the best value contract in the NBA, drafts Jones with a mid 1st round pick, finds Beverly in Siberia or some god for saken place....

I think the man deserves a little breathing room...

 

Nah, if the Rockets lose to the Blazers McHale isn't a goner. The team was expected to win around 55 games by Morey and they did. The Blazers are only a game behind the Rockets, it wouldn't be a shocker.

 

Dwight, because it's his 1st year with the Rockets, and he has a chip on his shoulder after leaving the Lakers. Then Asik and Lin because next year is their contract year, and there's so much anticipation of where they'll get traded this summer.

 

Jeremy Lin

 

Howard and Harden. The blame of defeat will always fall on them. Coaches and GM's are forgotten when they leave. DM will be an exception if we get another CD.

 

Why Morey? He turned this team around quick

 

GM's and coaches do not play on the court. The players feel more pressure than anyone else.

 

Howard, without a doubt. He left LA to "win championships in Houston." "Gambled 30 million" that Houston can win him a ring. If he can't get out of the first round or doesn't show up, it's going to be a media storm for the longest time. Remember how much LeBron was critiqued for not winning the championship? Dwight doesn't have to win it this year but if the Rockets fail, he will be hated even more.

But Lin also has some demons to kill. He was injured with the Knicks and when he wasn't hurt for us in last year's playoffs, he really didn't perform well at all. If he has a bad playoffs, fans will be calling for his head like some aren't already.

 

No pressure, they are one year away anyways

 

Jeremy. He's been sucking in the playoffs...

Mostly it will be Howard. Morey has a stake when it's all over, but he just pulled off landing Dho who ditched the Lakers to be his own man.


I really think it's McHale's time to go. We need a Playoff veteran the team can buy into and have faith to pull of strategic victories.

 

McHale. You actually have to coach in the playoffs. You have to draw up plays in crutch time.
