Everyone already knows that I am an A$$clown....that would not be news to anyone...but calling me a NEW YORKER ???? Them is fighting words....you are officially expelled from Circle C, pal...... And, I am not going to invite you to my Circle C poker tournament on December 1st...so there.... DD
But it wasn't just preseason, I think he had some questionnable stats in the WC also. Stats don't tell the whole story, but when you see the same issue repeat...
No doubt, which is why I have been saying, get him in there, and if he plays well, let him earn a bit more time, if he starts screwing up...yank him. But at least let him get his feet wet and get comfortable...otherwise why have him on the team? Heck send him down to the NBDL if you are not going to play him, don't let him get rusty and not be ready when and IF you do decide you need him. DD
I was here first, dude. And ..ahem... my parents are from New York. You're just afeard o' my reputation. You gonna pry Deckard out of his house? (hey Deck... )
He's had plenty of court time, just not yet in the NBA. It's not like he's gonna get totally rusty just because he's not on the court now... they do have practice. I know you want to at least see him here (did you get season tiks again?), but if he's going to get in the rotation this year there is no substitute for practicing with his Rockets teammates. Just because he's on the team doesn't mean that he's ready for the rotation, and just because he's not in it yet doesn't mean he won't be in it later this year. I'll be excited when JVG's determined that he's ready to contribute.
It's obvious that winning on internet discussion, or just not to lose, is what NewYorker only cares about. He will backpadel, twist what you said or put a label on you in order not to concede a dabate. When he has no more excuse to avoid answering your question, he will just say 'ok you are on my ignore list now'. ROFL.
Fire JVG!! Our rookies will never see playing time if JVG is coaching. The coach is not flexible, and very predictable with his offensive plays
But during the season the practices are limited, and I think V-Span needs court time to get used to his teamates and where they want the ball. He doesn't have good court vision, he has great court vision, and a lot of his turnovers were from his teamates not looking for the pass, and those only go away with time on the court together. Heck, Yao had 8 turnovers last night, but still played through it. DD
Rookies are always over-scrutinized by JVG. They are chewing gum for him, gets chewed out then spat out.
JVG - "That's why I like John Lucas. He's a midget. He's got some other issues, but the guy can really shoot. Novak's got issues, but he can really shoot. Padgett has some things he does well and not so well, but he can shoot and make quick decisions with the ball. Battier, he doesn't have issues. If you have issues with Battier, you have issues." Above is what I steal from a fan. Now we have issues with him, should he say you have issues? So let's wait and see, only 10 games anyway.
To be frank, who cares NewYorker puts me in his so-called ignore list or not. Whom he think he is? He is simply a racist, that's it. Actually I feel shameful that a racist like my posts. A racist's liking my posts is an insult to me. Period.
Of course we will wait and see, not like we have any choice. LOL. O wait, we can actually wait, complain, and see. OK, that's what we will do then.
Breaking News: Rockets fire JVG and Hire Left Toe. Others interviewed for the position: Right Toe and Little Pinky
Racist or not, NewYorker obviously enjoy bringing up the race issues everytime he has the chance. And based on his past posts, it is also obvious that he has something against the chinese posters in general. I think another poster has questioned before why he is so insecure about the chinese members. Because of inferiority complex? Anyway, since NewYorker has pretended to ignore me, this will also be my last post in this thread. Sorry to have participated in making this thread D&D style. I would like to apologize to Clutch here. But everyone with minimal reading skill can see who has brought the race issue into this thread.
I think JVG is the right coach for the Rockets, he's just encountered some problems. Granted, problems are inevitable and some are more severe than others. If anything, Van Gundy's problem is his rigidness. I agree that the Rookies should be playing some minutes, as opposed to NO minutes. The Rockets need to get rid of Bonzi Wells any way they can before this entire season is tanked.
