    That's not going to happen.

    Unfortunately, like most of Rockets Dynasty's other predictions and fabricated stories....his vow to leave the BBS forever a few months back and take the rest of the season off was sadly, also a giant, bald-faced lie. :(

    Because he hasn't done any admirable job at all.

    I think he's getting exposed more and more as a coach.

    At the same time, it appears that your disgust with JVG basketball (which is tough to watch sometimes and can be frustrating) is blinding YOU from the fact that realistically, for the first time, he is doing a helluva job coaching.

    With the way that Phoenix and Dallas are playing, and with their lineups, which are more talented than ours are, it isn't a failure to lose to them

    How many wins should this team have right now? You apparently think half the players on the roster suck, so how many wins should we have (taking into account the injuries)?

    Ok, now compare that number to the wins we actually have.

    Is this the same Rockets Dynasty who was the most notorious troll on ESPN message boards?

    One of VSpan's TO's was a deflection by the defense that wasn't called. Watch it in slomo replay. That wasn't a TO. The dribble into the double team was stupid. The whole team was helter skelter and there was no organization to the offense, no play being executed. Everything broke down and VSpan went to the frantic dribble trying to make something happen. Absolutely horrible execution and spacing by all of them. The first turnover into the bleachers was flat nerves. And Durvasa, he only actually got to play up top at the point for maybe 4 minutes max. The rest of the time Luther and JLIII were running the top and he was an afterthought. He got a couple minutes at the point after JVG called timeout and told Luther to let VSpan run the point. Up until that point, Luther was running the point and VSpan was standing in the corner. And then when Lucas came in, Lucas was running the ball up at the point. Not really a lot of point guard minutes for VSpan again tonight, and definitely maybe 2 possessions where he got to run pick and roll at the top, maybe 2 possessions in 12 minutes. Terrible. The rest of the time, they were running the figure 8 weave out there at the top from side to side. Plum stupid play.

    I would say at least 42 AT LEAST

    Look at the friggin schedule look at some the damn losses.

    The team is total garbage right now.


    T-Mac played out of gord and held them together for awhile, now it is back to reality.

    Early on Yao was the clear MVP and T-Mac was still playing a Pippen role and they racked up about 16 wins.


    The "media" doesn't know a damn thing so whatever they say is meaningless unless you have something called selective hearing.

    I believe all three of his registered turnovers (and a shot that was blocked) occured while he was the primary point guard (Luther Head also being on the floor). True, he wasn't in that position for more than 4 minutes or so, but he sure did a good deal of damage in that limited time.

    So, with Yao and Tracy missing all those games ... and with all these so called terrible players on the team like Rafer, Luther, Chuck, an overrated Battier, etc. ... Bonzi giving us virtually nothing ... all that and you think we should have the third best record in the league (one more than San Antonio). Wait ... "AT LEAST" the third best record.

    Are you insane?

    This is just more JVG defending.

    This is getting ridiculous.

    I never had a problem with JVG upt until the way the team has played recently, I never dared think he was an "elite" coach, but still good, he got owned I thought by AJ in that Dallas series, but I chalked it up to the team was just so old and broken down.

    I've never had any issue with JVG until recently.

    What I have seen recently is easily some of the worst a$$ coaching ever.

    I don't give a damn what some pessimistic fans consider to be in their own mind "overachieving" or what some idiot media douche bag analysts with IQs in the double digits think or write.

    I am basing on what I see as nothing short of dreadful coaching for a good period now.

    You may quite possibly be the most delusional poster on the BBS. V-Span sucks get over it.

    Yep, though you may know him as "Ming_7_6" or whatever other names he goes by.

    I don't know about that guy but it's obvious why JVG can't trust V Span. He turns the ball over, can't shoot and gets in quick foul trouble.

    Spanoulis playing 2 minutes a game or getting a DNP or playing 12 minutes of garbage time has nothing to do with JVG sucking it up as a coach the other 98 percent of the game time.

    He is doing so many things a$$ backwards it is just bizarre.

    You know jopa is a poster here that actually undserstands sets and plays I am sure he understands my point.

    Right now JVG almost looks like he wants out of the job.

    Answer the question. You actually think we should have "AT LEAST" 42 wins at this point? Please tell me you were joking.

    And I suppose Hubie Brown is an idiot douche bag media analyst? All those scouts/GMs Steven A. Smith apparently talked to that raved about JVG's coaching job. They're all imbeciles, I suppose. :rolleyes:

    1. Yeah do I have to state it over and ovet?

    at least 42 and I'm being modest

    2. Hubie Brown...........Hubie is a nice analyst he always tries to be positive. He knows the game completely but he just points out the good generally, he NEVER said anything about the team winning, in fact he basically just said a bunch of meaningless nonsense that basically amounted to "yeah they could win you know"

    3. Ok you brought up Stephen A. Smith as a reference point to support an argument you are making?

    All I can say is based on #3 I now understand exactly where you are coming from.

    No, you're being foolish. You yourself are constantly criticizing the players we have on the team. Apparently, you think this roster is just terrible. And yet, despite that, we should somehow have at least 42 wins at this point (being modest)? That's just stupid. Apparently, you have no appreciation for what it takes to win games. No wonder you're never satisfied with the coaching.

    Hubie explicitly complimented JVG's 8-man rotation.

    I don't care for the guy or his views either. But do you think he was lying?

    Stephen A. Smith is the classic example of the "arrogant American," he is one of the poster boys for worthless people that have high paying jobs where they can spout off filth and useless nonsense all day long, only to further degrade society.

    In short, he is a total POS.
