    With respect, Cy, your bomb is the polar opposite of Woj'. Frankly, I believe yours as I have understood the two to have had rocky times and a craggier break-up.

    That said, one can come home again.

    Regardless, I appreciate your post while unsure what I want to believe. I mean, gimme Stotts, I'm ok. Gimme Boden, I'm ok. There must be a clone of one of them yet still offering the kind of 'name' Owner Alexander demands.

    In your hearing is there any chance of a college hire?

    Thanks.

    Personally I've always thought Cyberx is full of ****. So I'm doubting this info.

    It was probably true... at one point... but doesn't mean its in direct response to the most recent rumors and doesn't mean it can't change.

    If this team can fire its coach 10 games into a season.... frankly, anything is possible.

    It makes too much sense though.

    I think Cyberx may have some good insight at times, but my gut is telling me this isn't the case here.

    JVG could have gone back to coaching, but seems he's been waiting for the opportunity. Maybe JVG just talks nice about everything but he sure does seem to like all things Houston.

    Firing McHale eleven games into a season probably makes it harder to reel in a top level coach. Les and Morey look like amateurs that are capable of making rash decisions at any moment. Also, how many coaches are going to want to sign on to be a puppet coach forced to play Moreyball?

    Didn't Cyber say earlier in the season when McFail was fired to not be surprised if JVG was our coach next season? What changed?

    damn if JVG doesn't like Les. He has got to go. Think the Clippers will trade Balmer for Alexandria and a second round pick?

    Woj is a source that's pretty reliable. So cyberX is this what Van Gundy told you himself? Or are you going off someone else's word?

    Alot of people don't. I wouldn't. How much money would the devil have to offer for you to sign your soul away. Woj may be saying JVG is who Morey wants and possibly who Les wants but the Rockets might not be JVG's choice. With a scum bucket like Les Alexander as an owner who would trust the Rockets? There is a reason why alot of ex Rockets do not even praise this organization. It took years for them to forgive this place. I wish someone from Houston with tons of noney would just buy the Rockets already.

    Not opposite of what woj is saying. Cyber just said that jvg will likely turn us down even though we will talk to him as first choice.

    No ma'am, he said JVG wasn't interested. Meaning there won't be an interview.

    I'm not saying Woj is wrong here, but i'm not sure he's as good as in other situations when he talks about the Rockets...i remember him chocking a couple of Rockets picks at the draft, the Asik to Boston was a done deal for him...so yeah...

    Why not? KMc is first to ever get canned. He's not meddlesome. He has an open checkbook. Owner Alexander is not my cuppa but he's not a bad owner.

    Well, is it really the polar opposite? One says that JVG is at the top of the Rockets' list. The other says JVG isn't interested in the Rockets.

    Unless I didn't read something correctly.

    Right? To me it looks like 2 puzzle pieces that fit together.
