It would be unexpected because of the injuries he had to deal with on top of where the Rockets made it the regular season and going to the WCFOnly way I think it would be Fisher is because he is getting bashed on the #4 pick and NOT the #1 had he not won meaning less game and we were originally planning to make dramatic improvements to become contenders this summer
And if Phil Jackson is giving considerations to break the entire team down and that Fisher doesn't want to be a part of that...
Fisher was not ready to be a Head Coach and I think we need some new assistant Coaches as well, with Brian Shaw and some development coaches/assistant coaches and trainers that have the ability to develop talents of players that we could compare with in which they had success with
how in the world could it be mchale? That would be the biggest travesty after what he has done in Houston and what he has gotten out of many crappy players.
Mark Jackson, Scott Brooks, Monty Williams, George Karl (his final year in Denver as COY), Thibs, Vinny Del Negro
McHale just isn't a very good coach, if you watch them play, especially with Harden all 4 of the other players DO NOT MOVE, because they do not know what Harden wants to do and take space away from him
That is the same crap as Woodson with CA, though Harden's ability to penetrate open things up
That was why Jordan and the Clippers dominated them early in the series and some of the comebacks were with HARDEN on the bench
With Jordan protecting the paint and whoever defending Harden taking away his left side, with no player movement, the defense isn't exertting energy and able to conserve it for OFFENSE
In play off basketball, at some point you need the ball to move with player movement, you cannot just play 1v1, not making the opponents DEFENSE work, allowing them to anticipate what Harden can do and take away his LEFT side with no player movement
He just isn't a very good Coach, he has done well considering the injuries but look at the list above, it doesn't mean anything if management doesn't believe he can bring em to the next level
