NBA News 2015: Rockets' Ty Lawson pleads guilty for drunk driving charges, wife of Kevin McHale blames Kardashians for Houston Rockets problems
The wife of former Houston Rockets' head coach Kevin McHale blames the Kardashians for her husbands firing from the team. Point guard Ty Lawson was also arrested for drunk driving charges.
On Wednesday, the Rockets fired the former Boston Celtics big man, after the team's subpar performance that led to their 4-7 record in the 2015 NBA regular season, so far. McHale himself did admit in a Houston Chronicle interview that there was no synergy between him and his players.
"We were starting to address some of the issues that were the reason I was let go," the 57-year old McHale said. "We just weren't playing with any juice, with any rhythm. We haven't been able to get the problems solved."

"We probably had more meetings in last six weeks than in my previous four years here," he adds. "It wasn't working."
Just a day after her husband lost his job of four years, wife Lynn immediately took her opinions to Twitter. In a series of posts, Mrs. McHale voiced out her opinions on why she thinks her husband was let go by the team.
"Crocodile tears are hilarious. @dmorey #SaveThemPlease," Lynn wrote, directing her post towards Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey.
She then went on to pin the blame on a certain celebrity family.
"Yes, the @KardashianCurse is real. #WhoIsNext ?" Mrs. McHale then tweeted.
According to a report by the New York Daily News, Lynn McHale had already deactivated her Twitter account.
Meanwhile, Rockets point guard Ty Lawson recently pleaded guilty for drunk driving charges. In a report by Yahoo! Sports, the incident happened in January, when Lawson was still with the Denver Nuggets.
"Officers described Lawson's speech as slurred, his breath as having 'a strong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage,' his eyes as 'bloodshot/watery' and his balance as "swaying/stumbling," the report reads.
According to Danny Webster of Bleacher Report, the 28-year old player could be facing up to 180 days in jail, or a "lengthy probation period."
