Rockets win first game since sacking coach

Terry 38 years old again will get another run in the Rockets starting lineup after last year starting 18 games in the regular season. He was hired by the club before the start of the 2011-2012 campaign and guided the Rockets into the playoffs in each of the past three seasons. “Things arent going our way and we hang our head.

Houston fought back behind James Harden and Corey Brewer, and although it seemed like a seven-point deficit with a minute to go would be too much to overcome, the fight didn’t stop.

“First and foremost, we’re in a business where expectations certainly drive decisions at times”, Stevens told reporters before his team hosted the Mavericks.

We know Rockets management didn’t want to make this move but it was something that had to be done.

“It didn’t happen the way I would have liked it to happen but we’re here”, Bickerstaff said.

General manager Daryl Morey also announced that assistant J.B. Bickerstaff will take over as interim head coach. To me, from the outside looking in, it looks like 11 games in making a rash decision.

Considering how the Rockets are reliant on the three point shot, we can see why they’re losing.

“Coach can’t make us play hard”.

The team wasn’t responding to McHale in practice or during the games.

The Rockets were 4-7 when McHale got the boot, highlighted by a four-game losing streak which was the longest the franchise had since 2013. Recent reports indicated that a players-only meeting was held on Tuesday morning.

Before the game against Portland, some players expressed a feeling of guilt upon hearing the news of their head coach’s departure.

The blame on the Rockets’ struggles early this season is not all on McHale however. The power forward helped the Celtics win it all in 1981, ‘84 and ‘86.

One player that is not being utilized or trusted by Scott is D’Angelo Russell who was touted to be one of the best point guards in the 2015 National Basketball Association Draft. After his playing career, he spent several years as an executive with the Timberwolves before coaching the team for parts of the 2004-05 and 2008-09 seasons after coaches were fired.

The Rockets kept chipping away at the Trailblazers pulling within three in the final seconds.

“James was comfortable with Jet there”.
