    If we solve our defense and maintain our offense with Van Gundy, we could be like Golden State when they hired Steve Kerr.

    I will miss JVG's commentating though.

    I wanted Thibs but it looks like the Minny situaiton is too perfect for what he is looking for.

    I am fine with JVG if Thibs is off the table.

    JVG would reignite my fandom. This team needs direction and he offers exactly that.

    YESSSSS!

    I would be so happy if Van Gundy became the coach again. I really was upset when they let him go originally.

    His defensive mentality is exactly what this team needs. Plus, we know he has a relationship with Morey, and I think the two of them would have enough mutual respect for each others expertise that each of their flaws and capabilities would really mesh well together.

    JVG is my favorite Rockets coach of all time. I would be very pleased if he was the hire and gets to work with Daryl Morey as his GM this time around rather than Carroll Dawson. The two apparently have a good relationship.

    Post the recent quote where JVG states he would need to add an offensive mind and change his approach on that side of the ball if he coaches again.

    JVG & the right offensive guy (not Finch) - could be special.

    Defensive rebounds, hustle stats & transition defense. Bring it on. Start Hayes and Bowen, **** it. I cant watch this lazy, uninspired play anymore.

    JVG would make DM better. A DM with rightful autonomy makes JVG better. They never had the chance to mesh like they needed. Make it right.

    I hope we can do better than Van Gundy. Hopefully he has learned something since his last time here.

    1) Offense counts, too. On the air he talks about two way players so maybe he has learned this.

    2) Hopefully he can coach, have a good defensive team and still not be so morose and driven so the players are not burned out by playoff time. He always looked so much more at ease as a TV analyst.

    Seriously? Do people have short memory? If you thought we have ugly offense now it's going to get uglier with JVG.

    Offense is not the problem.

    Plus JVGs team were always prepared and ready to play. No excuses.
