    Can't be worse than JB.
    If JB is hired I'm pretty much tuning out the next few seasons of Rockets basketball.

    If JB remains the Rockets coach simply for making the playoffs, Morey and Les are dead to me.

    I'm thinking they want Thibodeau. He's been seen with Morey several times in the past few months.

    Thibs has been all around the league with other teams on multiple occasions. he would be welcomed by any team needing a coach

    I would die laughing if we keep JBB as head coach.

    IF THE ROCKETS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS*

    What if JBB leads the Rockets past GSW?

    I think this will be the game plan going into offseason
    NUMBER 1 THIBS AT ALL COSTS
    #2 Scott Brooks if Thibs takes a more attractive offer like minny or if Lakers or Knicks over pay thibs
    #3 if Thibs and Brooks off Market JB is here to stay

    Tom Tibbs during his stint with Chicago, made it really hard for Miami's super team. And currently GS has somewhat of a super team as well. He is our best shot at winning.

    I mean look at the Bulls now without him? Not even in the playoffs. That's a huge testament to how great a coach he was.

    That'd be a shame in that we'd never again see them in as great a shape as they were this season. This wonderful, glorious season.

    I want Thibs. I don't believe Harden's minutes would go up. He's not the perfect coach but he would help.

    Haha this is why I didn't want to make the play-offs, you could just count on J.B. being considered for an extension if they make it...

    Calm down Rockets. Has the great Thibs even considered this garbage franchise?

    We should extend JB. Trash deserves Trash
