    JVG couldn’t even get past the first round against a team lead by two non hall of famers

    By the time JVG seriously comes back, Harden is about to retire.

    I'm afraid all calls to Jeff van gundy from Houston or Daryll morey go unanswered or straight to voicemail!

    Van gundy agent would refuse any such suggestion deeming this suggestion as leading to irrevocable damages to his client!

    I love JVG, but his offense was absolutely brutal. It would not work with the way the game is played these days.

    I love JVG, despite him stifling my favorite player at the time (Francis). He admitted he'd do things differently while watching Russ play in the finals against the Heat and I believe him. He'd also make our defense top 5 imo.

    But, it all comes down to how well he'd mesh with Harden. JVG calls all his players to accountability on both ends. It woulda meshed well with a guy like cp3 but Harden might get triggered. Shrugs, maybe him deferring to Russ more could open up those parts of his game tho

    God speed to the world and nba worldwide.

    Coaching rockets has been a job for Mike d'antoni to lose!

    The win against Lakers where Westbrook scored 41 and February 29th rockets celtics win was best games of season.

    We need a strong center for defence. How about MDA as assistant coach for offence and Van Gundy as main coach to call timeout and defence. It will be perfect. Hire 2 coaches will not cost many money.

    MDA is looking for his last bigger contract before retirement.

    Cheaper choice would be getting a younger option. Like Chris Finch in the past.

    I love jvg but here is why i don't want him as our coach

    No center
    No power forward
    No cap or draft picks to change that.
