Nah, we should win this game. SHOULD....

Only was the Rockets should win this one is if Yao gets about 15 assists.

Knicks should have at least a 10 point lead. Too much outside shooting and not enough FT's.

What do your expect when your point guard can't penetrate and create a shot for you to the basket.

Who is this Von Wafer guy playing for Houston? I don't think I've ever heard of him. Has he been riding the Houston bench all year?

The guy who was backing up Anthony Roberson in Summer League on the Knicks roster.

Duhon runs into a invisible wall at the 3 point line which seems to cause him to constantly give the ball up to others to penetrate.

Another horrible performance by the team under coach Pringles.

He's not that good guys sorry. He needs an Elite squad to be an Elite coach like any other average coach. This team is imploding Isiah style. We've seen this before folks, story hasn't changed and if Isiah was here it would still be about 2010 because he was talking about it before his exodus. In no way am I saying I wanted him to stay or want him back but Pringles hasn't distinguished himself. Shades of Denver Nuggets Circa 1998. Mark Jackson or any other inexperienced coach could get us a 13 and 22 record right now.

The sad thing now, our defense is improving ever so minutely but our offense has gone down the chitter. Which shows our coach can only do one of or the other. He has a difficult time meshing both. Look at the Rockets... outside of Yao who do they have? They're playing old Brent Barry and NBDL journeyman Von Wafer getting the job done. They are playing D and executing on both sides of the ball, so one can't criticize our roster as a legit excuse.

Clyde says Gallinari won't help much once he gets on the court.

can u name me 1 head coach in the NBA that doesn't need an elite squad to be an elite coach? what has Phil Jackson ever proven w/o the best players on his teams? Pat Riley looked pretty awful as a coach last year w/o a healthy D Wade... Pop has Duncan, Parker & Ginobili on his teams in SA... what does MDA have to work with? come on, stop looking at the coach & start realizing that this roster won't win u many games no matter who's coaching them.

Gallo will help next year. If he plays for the rest of the year, he won't have any real rhythm until near the end of the season. If they play Gallo anymore than 10 to 12 minutes a game, they are calling it quits this year.

How are the Rockets working us with Hayes, Wafer, Landry, Brooks, Barry? Our coach said the trades made the team better. So was he lying? If he was then can we take him for his word on other things?


What player or players is thriving under our coach?


When we were winning earlier in the season he was getting all the credit for what looked like a turnaround. Now that we're losing he's absolved from blame?


Doesn't make since.


He was brought here to be a difference maker. Right now he's failing. If it isn't his fault then our GM deserves blame.

The only problem is, he proved to be a good coach with a pretty good team.

What coach has ever thrived under any of our teams in the last several years? None! This was a GM problem from the beginning. A GM who got a taste of his own medicine when he himself became coach. OUCH!
I'll never trust this' team again.

He was brought here to blow this team open, to clean up the crap by increasing the value of Isiah booms.
He did with some (Zack, Craf) and he will try to do with others (Eddy, Jeffries).
He also was asked to investigate what our young promising players can do and if it is worth to trade them or keep them and for how much. He is doing very well in this area.
Now they need to lose as much games as possible and I am very satisfied lately how they execute it.
Also he took extra responsibility on himself to make it entertaining and bring some tickets and season plan holders back. It probably worked for some and is not a priority any more.
