u probably right but at any cost. . that was not a team he DEVELOPED They were VETS and they were PAT RILEY's Vets Pat Riley quit in 1995. Both Larry Johnson and Allan Houston joined the team in 1996. Try again...
Also, Larry Johnson had been in the league 5 years. Allan Houston, 3. Mobley and Francis are more "vets" than either of those two were when JVG got them.
let's not forget Sprewell. jvg gave him a chance after he was out of the league for nearly the entire 97-98 season after he choked PJ Carlesimo, then the coach of GSW. no one thought he would return to the NBA . Van Gundy wiped the slate clean, Knicks went to the Finals as the 8th seed in Spree's first year with NYK. the only players from the 94-95 roster that made it to the 99 finals was Ewing, and Ewing was out most of the 99 playoffs. deja vu
If this team fails to make the play-offs can anyone vision a scenario where remains with the club? I can't.
So much for the Rockets coming out ready to play, Golden State is whipping them. This is pathetic and sickening.
If the Rockets complete this collapse, and then their PG is not traded, it will be very hard to take this team seriously next year since their priority would obviously not be improving the ballclub.
In fact, I've been looking for the name of the freak who forecasted a 0-10 ending of the Rockets' season. ROX, please prove him wrong!
It's weird that denniscd doesn't show up again. He has all the rights to laugh at us in the best moment.
