    It doesn't matter if JVG is back...

    Tom Thibodeau the true mentor of Yao is gone.

    Last night, JVG was talking about how now, the Rockets are using Yao at the high post as an option. He then said something along the lines of, "Soon they'll find out that they much rather have him on the low block.." and I can't help but agree. Yao in the high post is nice sometimes, but now, he's starting to settle for the jumper too much. He use to punish defense all game long by posting up down low. Now, defenses have it much easier. You don't get any calls or draw fouls by shooting jumpers. Especially if you are a 7'6 Center capable of dominating down low.

    You guys are idiots. If every NBA team were run the way you guys wanted, no player or coach would be on the same team for a week. I want to hear what all of you have to say at the end of the season no matter the outcome.

    It isn't surprising Yao has fond feelings for JVG, who helped change Yao's mentality from one of passivity to dominant aggression. But JVG is gone now and isn't coming back. Get over it guys. Focus your emotions on our current coach and what he needs to change for us to be successful.

    For the longest, the JVG-haters repeatedly kept digging him up, hitting him and putting him back down. For me it was grotesque how long this kept going on. Now the JVG-lovers are starting to do the same thing. Please stop.

    But doing that would mean that the rookie posters on this board would have to display some sort of rationality and patience! WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?!?

    are u frekin kidding me!!!!!

    rick use alston just as much if not more than gundy during his era. at least gundy won't ignore francis when our rotation is CLEARLY problematic at this moment. seriously. JVG is clearly superior to Adelman. Period.

    Umm...he was saying those things as a color commentator. Obviously it would be something completely different if he was the coach. It would make him look awfully bitter, dissing on his ex-employer when they are at their worst. He's not gonna do that on national TV.

    He highly doubt he would play Rafer with Francis on the bench. JVG is a lot smarter than that, unlike someone.
