    Wahhhh Wahhhh!!!! More Gundy excuses.

    Like I said...Isn't it strange that once JVG leaves we get quality players?

    Just as i had predicted a year earlier! Adelman's arrival is a year late. But at least he is here!! Gundy is on the mike where he belongs. (Actually I dont care if he coaches any other team, as long as he does not come near Rockets)

    Schweet!

    Well, it seems that young players have a much easier time being "developed" on ****ty teams like the Nets. Easier to win playing time, dontcha know.

    Who should Novak get playing time over on our current team?

    YES! That's exactly what my friend said (seen cutting my hair in my signature).

    You are right. Rockets were busy tearing up the Western Conference and making noise in playoffs.

    I am sorry. I couldn't resist. :D

    Yes, because I'm quite sure the impediment to Scola coming to the Rockets was JVG leaving...oh and JVG definitely didn't want James right?

    "Mediocre" ain't the same as "****ty." ;)

    Oh did you really want to see Scola ride the pine with JVG on board? Gundy would make Juwan log 25+ mins at PF spot. *cringes*

    Actually, regarding Mike James, he didn't at the time. JVG based on what his SVG said, wanted Rafer badly to run his offense. And we all know how that went.

    JVG had multiple chances to unload Juwan to Timberwolves for Mike James but he balked each of those time. He was afraid of ruining the chemistry. Boy, that chemistry sure came handy when Juwan was bricking against the Jazz in playoffs last year.

    Where were you?

    I am wondering how many playoff games that ***ty team has won in last 4 years, or how many times they have been to the second round? :p

    I am sorry. I dont have your talent of responding everytime with a :rolleyes:

    There is nothing to debate about with you. You have been a resident JVG fanboy. Nothing more.

    I see your whine, I call your whine. That's all I did. :)

    So you'd have a greater level of satisfaction with the overall skill and talent of your team if you were a Nets fan for the past four years than as a Rockets fan?

    Buddy, I guess we like different things. :D

    Actually, it would be more because CD isn't here wouldn't it?

    You might want to work on your sentences before calling out others about "critical think".

    *snicker*

    BTW, I have seen your ability to think critically on the D&D. Based on what other posters post about you, you are a mighty legend there! :D

    Wow - on one side we have Chuck Hayes, Yao Ming, Luther Head (please save yourself the embarrassment of saying "Luther only played because of injuries" now....)

    On the other side we have Bostjan Nachbar who took 5 years to develop into the player Luther Head was in his second year, Vasilis Spanoulis, and Steve Novak.

    Yeah Van Gundy is looking terrible here.

    If you think the player moves were all CD and JVG had nothing to do with it, you are naive.

    Nope. I am quiet happy with this Rockets team....so far. If they dont produce I am unhappy. Quiet unhappy with past 2 years Rockets.

    I would just be a little more careful about calling a team ****ty when that team has as much if not more playoffs wins in last couple years than Rockets. Sure they don't have talent level of Rockets but that team has shown heart.

    Are you content with superior skills and talent despite playoff failures?

    I guess we really do like different things then! *phew*
