You YOF's, write to the local Chinese papers and bring some publicity to this b*tch. If enough people write, perhaps Sina will make it a continuous story. Even better would be if Chinese reporters ask Stern some tough questions. Princess JVG: "YOF's, you're our only hope".
Granted, nobody knows whether this alleged official exists (or in fact the whole story exists), nevertheless, as they say, the past is the best predictor of future behaviour. If it was Phil Jackson, Larry Brown or Pat Riley, I might call BS. But, when was the last time JVG b****ed about the refs? I thought so. I think the story here is that, b**** a little and you get a spank, b**** a lot and you get off off.
I hope the Rockets are in the playoffs long enough that Stern actually has to visit the friendly confines of the Toyota Center. I would love to see his reception here.
I hate Stern so much that I wish the Rockets would withdraw from the league and start a new one that's Stern-free.
I look forward to the day when I can use the phrase, "David Stern must be spinning in his grave." Example usage: "Wow, this game was officiated so fairly tonight. David Stern must be spinning in his grave."
There has to be some truth to this.....i mean dude says something that is blatently obvious and they throw the book at him. And stern says they're fining him for 'embarrassing the league' Gimme a break stern, the way your refs are calling this series is more of an embarrassment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What does life time ban means? No more coaching in NBA, analyzing as well as watching NBA games? Let's Stern just ban all fans then. I hate his faked smiles.
..........and another thing: Freakin avery johnson goes after a ref in game one and calls out the refs after that game and gets hit with a $10K fine. WTF???!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!
I have a tremendous amount of respect for JVG. Even though I was one of the idiots calling for JVG's head earlier in the season I will gladly eat crow. That man is a genius and I am a moron. If David Stern bans him I will never watch the NBA nor buy any NBA merchandise anymore. EVER.
I'm 100 percent on Van Gundy's side. The Rox have been screwed 3 games in a row, and Stern has the gall to fine Van Gundy for speaking the truth?
