I'm currently in the Fran Blinebury chat and he basically said nothing newsworthy came of the end of season meeting. This JVG thing will probably go on for a few more days.
wait few minutes this will be argumented...'with turnovers during his time on the court' and then it will be shot back with 'he needs the minutes to get the experience on the NBA level' and 'most of the calls were traveling calls, the NBA is different' and so on and so on
I always want to laugh when I see people keep saying that. This team won 52 wins, players make shots in the game, it is to JVG's credits... However, this team got butt kicked in the first round by a "better team" (funny nobody admitted Utah was better before the playoffs started), the offense was as ugly as dog sh*t and players could neither play offense and defense, well, it was players' fault, it was management's fault! In other words, JVG can only receive credits but he can't take responsibilties. JVG lovers' logic?
These are the same people that are sitting in front of their computer on real gm's website trying to think of ways to trade Juwan Howard, Bob Sura, and Bonzi Wells' PLAYER option for Kevin Garnett.
oh yeah, he was forced to quit...right. He was forced to take himself out of the kings game and then he was forced by JVG to call the trainer and tell him he was quitting. i forgot all about that. It scary how delusional people can be. Vspan go chances, and they were usually filled with turnovers and uncontrolled play. Billy did have a couple better games toward the end of the year but hardly anything that deserves playoff time in close games.
There was a profound smugness and lack of respect for Utah on the board when the playoffs started. Just because so many OD'd on the red koolaid didn't mean that they were right. Utah was a lot like the Rockets: a solid team that played ugly, defensive ball. In the end, the Rockets were undone more by the inherent weaknesses in their makeup than through the supposed "incompetence" of their head coach.Did he make mistakes in this series? Yeah - both coaches did but in game 7 with everything on the line, it was the Rockets' players - not the head coach - who faltered in crunch time.
Anything new about Jeff? I'm only waiting for the decision...Because we really cannot be suer if he stays ar lefts the team
Well, its somebody's fault...I forgot that I bet a friend in Dallas that we'd make it out of the first round...Someone has to be blamed...
Last time I checked, in GS vs Mavs series, only "crunch time" was Game 5, and Dirk was the hero who won the game for Mavs. The four games GS won, there're no "crunch time." By the way, coaches never play, crunch time or not. Right?
His defense is beatable over a 7 game series, he doesn't develop his bench, his center is questioning his rotations in the playoffs, his offensive schemes are weak, and he makes zero adjustments in a 7 game series. JVG is the weakest link...BUH BYE !! DD
If you truly believe this that I have a slightly used bridge in NYC I'd like to sell you. For the life of me I simply cannot understand all of this emotion over Bonzi Wells. You folks speak of him as if he was some sort of savior brought down from the heavens to carry the Rockets to the basketball promised land only to be waylayed by the "Prince Of Darkness" aka JVG. The way folks whine about Bonzi, you'd think he was the second coming of Julius Erving or something. The reality is that Bonzi screwed himself out of millions of dollars when he didn't take the deal offered by SAC in the mistaken belief that he could do better in the free agent market. Unfortunately for him, said market evaporated and all he was left with was the $2.5 million deal offered by Houston. Now this is the point that folks like yourself simply refuse to admit: he did not want to play for Houston PERIOD especially for so little money. That's why he made the announcement at his signing that he would not be coming back for the option year. Now how is that JVG's fault? From the start Bonzi was unable to admit that he'd been a dumbass and had pissed away millions choosing instead to blame everyone else. He came in overweight and unmotivated, got hurt and ended up not playing because JVG had the audacity to demand that he get into playing shape before he'd be let loose on the court (the b*stard!). Bonzi quit because he was a big fat quitter who's in it for the money PERIOD. As for what happened to Spanoulis, the guy was picked at the end of the 2nd round for a reason: he's just not very good. Were he as good as folks make him out to be, then he'd have not waited 3 years years in Europe. He wasn't ready this year - it was CD who brought him over to provide roster filler...which he was.
