not rooting for brown but: lb: multiple finals appearances , finals game 7 loss, 1 ring jvg: 1 final appearance in shortened nba season
If ever there was a stupid item posted in this forum it has to be the titleof this one ' Fire JVG and hire Larry Brown--- Not on your nelly!!!
He essentially made $50M for one years work and the guy is 65. If I were him I would laugh all the way to the bank and leave the game like that. But knowing LB, he'll probably come back and work cheap and sign a 5yr/$25M deal.
What about our coach isn't going anywhere and everything coming out of the organization pretty much reinforces that, until we start getting rumblings from the players or front offices these threads are pointless!
A couple of years ago when we were talking to Brown, JVG, and others I thought Brown choosing the Pistons was a blow to our team. Brown is a guy who comes into a mess and cleans it up. Turns out the Knicks mess was to great even for him. JVG is a younger version of Brown and he's got a mess on his hands in Houston that may also prove to be to great to clean up. Here's to JVG's last season in Houston.
I would like to see some constancy on our team in terms of players and the coach. Teams need to grow with each other. Thats one of the reasons I think is lacking these days in sports. And a big NO to LB.
Jeff Van-Gandy and Larry Brown are the same coach, same system, defensive minded with a poor offensive strategy... The difference between the two is that JVG knows this team very well and Brown doesn't know us at all. Im pleased with JVG's work
