    It doesn't matter, as long as we didn't lose out to the wizards. Got to save face.

    Hey SuperKev,

    This topic has already been discussed ad nauseum. There's no guarantee that Van Gundy will make this team better, but the thing that is guaranteed is the fact that Van Gundy will work hard. Probably harder than any other coach in the league. I think that's all you can really ask for in a coach.

    So if the Rockets do better than 43 wins next year, Van Gundy is not necessarily the reason. What would make you give the man his due? It's easy to criticize.

    remember ya'll its a report,just as the team spokesman said.He's not the coach yet pending if the negotations are sucessful. So before callin van gundy the Rockets head coach,let him sign his contract first. and plus Wiz offer is still on the table unless they withdrew it.

    Van Gundy is perfect for our team because:

    A. He won't stand for selfish attitudes
    B. He will instill discipline and toughness
    C. Players can't ignore the system and do whatever they want
    D. He knows the game and will be more objective about the strengths and weaknesses of the team.
    E. He will move players

    I don't think he will make wholesale changes at first, but I think by year #2, several roster changes will be made.

    That's my opinion, no fact just opinion

    Finally a well reasoned response - Cha Cha Cha.

    I hope he does great, but merely saw no logic in the selection. I will be elated to give JVG his due - but will not give him a free ride either. Cha Cha Cha

    If we avg. 80ppg this season - and do poorly - he will get the blame that's for certain.

    But... if we see a team with all the vaunted adjustments you refer to and we're clicking - he will get the credit as well.

    Time will tell, and as a huge Rocks fan l'll give him more than a fair chance. I still say we could have handled this coaching change far better than we did.

    Look, wink, it's OK: you're a closet Ricki fan. But it got you the info needed to break the story, so we won't hold it against you.

    Props to wink....and props to Ricki lake. NOW KICK OUR TEAM IN THE BACKSIDE, VAN GUNDY!!!

    Well it's about damn time. I think it's kinda shady for the Knicks to want compensation. Let's give them Moochie.
