Rockets fans, We MUST rally around Van Gundy... he definitely took one for the team and I think we need to give him as much support as possible! Any suggestions on how we can help him escape further trouble with David Stern? Can we start a petition? Email the league? Anyone at the game on Thursday should bring signs in support of Van Gundy. I know most of us did not like him very much at the beggining of the year, but you have to admit, he is a hell of a coach! ____________________________________________________ David Stern... you suck!
If you make a sign.....I'd stay away from mentioning the NBA or Stern because I am sure they will be confiscated...but i see nothing wrong with supporting coach.
Get Team Yao on a plane to Bejing, get with the governement and get the Chinese Govt. on the phone with Washington, time to play politics, let's make this an International Incedent. Put pressure on David Stern from the highest levels... His apology could be worded like this- "After further investigation we have found that while no directive came from the NBA office in regards to the officiating of Yao Ming, we have also found reasons for Mr. Van Gundy's concerns that have been corrected at the appropriate level. We have reduced his fine to $10,000.00 for criticizing the officials and breaking NBA policy." No further comments at this time.
There are at least 2 or 3 existing "Save the Van Gundy" threads. Please look to see if a thread already exists with the subject you're posting about before starting a new one.
