Following the season, Walt Williams signed as a free agent with the Dallas Mavericks, and Willis signed with the San Antonio Spurs. Cuttino Mobley led the team in scoring averaging 21.7 points per game, and Griffin was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. He also participated in the Slam Dunk Contest. Team captain Steve Francis averaged 21.6 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, and made his first All-Star appearance being selected for the 2002 NBA All-Star Game, but he only played 57 games, and starting 56 of them due to recurring foot injuries and migraines. Due to injuries that hindered their roster for parts of the year, the Rockets played mediocre basketball all season long, losing 15 of their final 18 games, and finishing fifth in the Midwest Division with a disappointing 28–54 record. Rice only played just 20 games due to a foot injury, and Maurice Taylor missed the entire season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. In their first season without All-Star center Hakeem Olajuwon, the Rockets got off to a 7–5 start, but then suffered a dreadful 15-game losing streak. The Rockets scored 7,362 points and allowed 7,220. The team compiled a postseason mark of 1-4. During the off-season, the team acquired All-Star forward Glen Rice from the New York Knicks, and re-acquired former Rockets forward Kevin Willis from the Milwaukee Bucks. The Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association ended the 2003-04 season with a record of 45 wins and 37 losses, finishing fifth in the NBAs Midwest Division of the Western Conference. In the 2001 NBA draft, the Rockets selected Richard Jefferson from the University of Arizona with the 13th pick, but soon traded him to the New Jersey Nets for top draft pick Eddie Griffin.
If Griffin becomes the head coach of the Jazz and New York drafts his son in a couple of weeks, Knicks fans should be twice as thankful for the coach.The 2001–02 NBA season was the Rockets' 35th season in the National Basketball Association, 31st season in the city of Houston, and their 27th and penultimate season at Compaq Center. Why? He could end up being their next head coach. To be straightforward, the Knicks can’t afford to lose Bryant. Obviously, it’s not up to Griffin to choose the Jazz’s replacement for Snyder, but if he were to be the one to take over in Utah, New York would collectively breathe a sigh of relief. He’s helped to construct the success that Toronto has built and he has a solid shot to do the same with the Jazz.īryant’s role with the Knicks shouldn’t be downplayed because he’s an extremely valuable part of the organization, but fans should be crossing their fingers that Danny Ainge and Utah opt for someone like Griffin. His coaching career started in 2008 with the Milwaukee Bucks, so it’s been a long time coming for him. Thibodeau’s could be if New York has yet another disappointing year in 2022-23. The Raptors finished fifth in the East with a 48-34 record this past season, so Nurse’s job isn’t in danger. That’s a title that Thibodeau was awarded in 2020-21, but the Knicks’ 37-45 finish in 2021-22 overshadowed that. A year after that, he was named the NBA’s Coach of the Year. In his first season at the helm, Nurse led Toronto to its first NBA title.
