DD, allow me to add what you are saying. ... Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy delivered a strong message to those hoping for a change at point guard: Forget about it. Alston is staying in the lineup. "This has always puzzled me," Van Gundy said. "When you lose Yao and you go 5-2, I'm not looking after losing an overtime game to blow somebody up. ... Rafer's our point guard. He's gonna be our point guard. If anybody has a problem with that, wants to see a change, it ain't gonna happen. Everybody can stop all the questions about who's next. There ain't no next right now." Alston was averaging 13.2 points but had shot just 36.4 percent entering Monday's game. He was 32-for-107 over the previous seven. ... http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=270108004
WTF? You are annoyed because I ignored your post? There is an ignore feature, I suggest you use it.....as many are going to do the same to you and your silly suggestions. And this is a BBS, it is a place for our Rocket brothers to discuss, debate and cajole each other over our beloved team. Ban someone for 2nd guessing a coach? You are joking right? I am clearly more qualified than JVG to make decisions. SHEESH ! DD
Fine then. I retract my statement. You can stay on the forum. But there's no use bickering about V-Span getting playing time or Head starting at PG anymore... bwahahahaha... take that Coach DD!
You are wrong again DD. JVG is not going down with Alston. Also Alston does not suck... only his shooting does. Although you clearly don't realize this, Rafer does other things to help the team. Everyone knows that we're not going anywhere unless Yao and T-Mac are playing at least near 100%. Under that scenario (and with Bonzi healthy), Rafer will be distributing the ball a lot more than he is shooting. So how again will Rafer get JVG fired? Morey has an absolute man-crush on JVG. Morey is a stat man, and he sees that we're #1 in fewest points allowed and lowest opponent FG%. He also sees that we are winning despite losing an MVP candidate. Where are you getting this idea of JVG's job being in jeopardy because of one player? I think you just don't like him. Well guess what... when JVG leaves, so will the team's extremely high level of discipline and defense.
The man is clueless. there are nights where he's shot is clearly and painfully obvious that it's off. it still dose deter him jacking it up from the Primeter. if you're jumpshot is off, You resort to attacking the rim. you try to involve everyone else. You try to draw fouls. Btw, the free looks that he gets are usually as of opposition teams leaving him open because they know it will result in a brick. if he actually played smart, he would take alot of the heat off tracy. He commits many stupid TO's too.
SamFisher, what happened? you suddenly stopped replying to DD's posts. this battle between you and DD is hella entertaining, probably the funniest forum battle ever. cmon man, dont end it now and DD, maybe you could actually argue instead your standard "You are my BBS beyotch, Sam"
I would but it is actually more fun to do the other stuff.... The real issue is that we are talking about potential and that is hard to quantify. I think V-Span has great potential and he should be getting some time to hone it. Sam thinks that honing it would be a waste of time and that he should earn his time on the court. Just different philosophies...there can be no winner...... DD
alston fires so many shots after mcgrady, so its fairly straight and easy to see whether he gets going or not. Therefore, when his cold (most of the time) JVD should pull him out ASAP and try lucus head or vspan before more alston breaks more shots
I was gunna wait till i finished reading the thread to respond, but I had to jump in here. So now you are using a poll with insanely biased wording as PROOF for your JVG hating? You obviously have no clue what PROOF is. You are too concerned with making people your "internet beeyotch" or whatever. There's only one thing you should be doing with all your cans of "I told you so," and it sure as hell isn't opening them!
HAHA! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's fed up with this guy. It's a shame that he's labeled a "contributing member" because all he contributes to this forum are the same exact garbage posts even when other posters clearly respond with logical posts. Maybe he put me on his ignore list? For him it's always PLAY VSPAN, RAFER SUCKS! It's like a chicken with its head cut off. It's one thing to be stubborn. It's another thing to be stubborn and wrong. It doesn't get anymore irritating than that.
