    JVG's D didn't really shine in the most important games, we got trashed by two teams in the last game 7s.

    FIRE GUNDY!!

    According to Mory's analysis, keeping Gundy would only make the rox not win a single series in the next 10 years

    You know the sad thing about this? He not only waste the Rockets for the past four years, but more years in the next few years, because he didn't develop any young talent at all. The Rockets got royally screwed by this guy big time.

    I've been a big supporter of JVG....but his lack of adjustments in this series has me singing a different tune.

    It's time to bring in Adelman. He is the perfect coach for Yao.

    Bad coach ever for Rockets.
    His coaching style bring lots of hatred from refs.
    He belongs to the East conference, and deserve to have another change at the East. Maybe Indianan?
    But no way he can stay in Rockets, period.

    To all the Gundy apologists, I told you so.

    Losing this series was actually the best thing for the Rockets.

    A coach with any semblance of an offensive gameplan will take this team alot farther with a legitimate chance to win the Finals.

    Gundy was brought in to coach the Francises, the Mobleys, the Catos. He may have been the right coach for that team that was immature and lacking in discipline, but with the personnel and talent that this team has now, he's completely wrong.

    Brighter times are ahead for the Rockets, I assure you.

    Man, it's painfull to hear JVG still saying the Rockets lost the game in defensive end. JVG just doesnt get it the game's outcome is the differential of offense and defense. When Joe Dumar picked up C Webb, Dumar said, "If I cant add some defense, I add some offense.". That's why the Pistons picked up C Webb. Please leave JVG!!! Please!

    "We" didn't play basketball tonight.

    The Houston Rockets lost, in large part, because of Mister Van Gundy.

    Exactly! Look at how many lay-ups Jazz got throughout this series. Loved the Kings when they were the only team that could challenge the Lakers during the Shaq&Kobe years.

    Here is another reason why we need an offensive coach. The trade value of players will rise. JVG has made our role players look miserable and no team wants them. On the other hand, every player in Suns looks like all star.
