What is it you that you want from Van Gundy? Do you want him to go to the New York newspapers and say "I hate New York. Houston is so much better." Should Yao defect from China to prove his allegiance to Houston? What is with this obsession with wanting Van Gundy to completely erase New York from his memory.
He's a Knick at heart because that's where he came from. New York. That's his roots. Just like Kenny Smith and Mario Elie are New Yorkers at heart. And you favorite Rocket owner Les (heh heh). So what? There's no point other than you trying to turn it into something that it's not. We don't need you saying *Knick at heart* like if that's supposed to imply that he's not working as hard he can to win a title just as Kenny Smith and Mario Elie did when they were playing for the Rockets. Nevertheless, he can win a title with Houston. And then he can be a Houston champion with his New York roots.
Nope, sorry, I'm just stating a fact. You and your JVG-colored glasses are the only ones who see it as some sort of insult.
Nope sorry. Just pointing out that there are other *facts*....former Rockets that are also New Yorkers at heart.
There were a few times I was suspecting Kenny Smith wasn't working as hard as he could and now I know it was because he was a Knick at heart.
I guess this “Knick at heart” nonsense is all he can come up with to complain about anymore. Take a look at his sig. [Van Gundy's Rockets showed] have been outrebounding every team they've faced, turning the ball over at a minimum, and running a high octane offense.
Considering the only teams Kenny Smith played for were Detroit (9 games), Houston, Sacramento, Atlanta (33 games), Orlando (6 games), and Denver (33 games), that must be some pretty powerful Knick mojo.
A bit of a tangent here but if Francis somehow gets traded to the Knicks and plays there for a season or two do you think JVG would want him back? Its worked for Moochie.
You wouldn't have put that quote in your sig (and highlighted the words "bad rebounding" and "stagnant offense") if you didn't agree with it.
They are all getting their paychecks signed by the Houston Rockets. Unless they are out rooting for the Utah Jazz or maybe murdering people late at night, that is all you need to know to root for them all.
Lots of weekend passes issued to people who then use their hotmail accounts at the public library.... I love this place - reminds me of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Isn't a Philly J a Philly cheesesteak with Grape Jelly on it? One of my favorites right up there with a Memphis heartattack - fried peanut butter and banana sammicch. Dam carpetbaggers! Hey, I am one too! Go Buckeyes! Run faster! The NCAA investigators are chasing you.... I secretly root for LeBron to redeem the lost glory of Mark Price, Brad Daugherty and Hot Rod Williams. Larry Nance didn't count as he was a secret plant by the evil Phoenix Suns. But seriously, I love this team. I don't know how JVG did it but he has taken a seriously flawed team with a lot of past baggage hanging over it and gradually turned it into a team that has chemistry and knows how to pass the ball!! I personally don't care if he is member of some Royal Dutch secret society and works in his time off to undermine the American Oil Industry as long as this team keeps playing like a team and the dead wood keeps being unloaded. I wish I was the Jack Nicholson character but Danny DeVito is probably more realistic.
