After appearing in the conference finals last season, the Houston Rockets were expected to be one of the top teams this season. After a 4-7 start, the Rockets decided enough is enough and fired coach Kevin McHale, CBS Sports' Ken Berger confirms. Per Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, assistant coach J.B. Bickerstaff will take over as interim coach.
The Rockets signed McHale to a three-year, $13 million extension less than a year ago.
McHale had been the Rockets' coach since the start of the 2011-12 season and actually has the highest win percentage in Hoston's coaching history with a regular-season record of 193-130. In five postseason appearances, McHale's playoff record with Houston was 13-16. However, the Rockets are losers of four straight and just lost to the Boston Celtics on Monday night by 16 points. This has been a theme, as they started with three straight 20-point losses before winning their first game.
Today is the day that the Houston Rockets have finally and completely shit their collective pants. I'm over 1,700 miles from Houston and even I can smell the shit. I mean sure you're off to a 4-7 start and sure you have the seventh highest combined players salaries in the league but Kevin McHale is a God damn LEGEND. I mean behind my version of the Shaq hook+spin move which I so eloquently coined as the Caucasian Tornado the Kevin McHale up and under was my favorite.
After the fact that he is a legend let's take a look at what the super stars of this team have done this season. Dwight Howard is currently averaging less rebounds per game than Russel Westbrook and is playing limited minutes so he can rest. Dwight Howard has got to be the weirdest guy in the whole NBA (and that's really saying something I.E. Lance Stephenson). Then we come to James Harden or as the Natives call him He Who Guards no one.... I mean seriously I prolly weigh in right around 350 lbs (and I'm dead sexy I might add) but I can promise you I can play better defense than that guy.
With all that being said the Rockets have to make it out of the West in order to win a Championship and I don't think the Warriors are even going to lose this year.
