What has JVG done to the Rockets?

Our role players didn't decide to disappear until the playoffs. Yeah, they are JVG guys, and they went 20-12 with Yao out and made the playoffs as a 5 (should be 4) seed.

It's not JVG's fault that Yao/Tmac are playing soft and our bench has decided to suck on the road

 

they went 20-12 with Yao out

Now that blows. of course you are going to have a better record when your weakest link rests.

 

They're getting fouled a bunch, but really it's open shots that they're missing, I mean there's just no way to coach guys any better than to the point where they get open shots.

 

He was outcoached by Avery Johnson 2 years ago and now by Sloan.
He is not qualified to be the head coach if this team. In fact, the Rockets has so many talented players, but look at their performances under JVG. I am pissed off with JVG's coaching.

 

I know. All he did was run plays that got open shots that were missed

awful

 

But they have better records when Yao in.
Yao is not the weakest link. JVG is.
JVG did do a good job in regular season. But in playoff, when it really counts and matters, he disappears.

 

I don't get why everyone is saying Yao and T-Mac played soft. Yao can't even turn around without someone flopping and refs calling the foul on Yao. As for T-Mac the times he did take it to the rim he was fouled and the refs didn't give him the call. I just wonder which refs are calling the game Saturday. I am sure they will keep the Jazz in the game tough.

 

Of course they do. But it's a testament to the rest of the team to go 20-12 without him

Change the last two sentences to ROLE PLAYERS instead of JVG and I concur

 

He helped them get the 5th best record in the NBA. Helped them get home court, which will ultimately decide the series. Will lead them to the Western Conference finals.

But if we lose on Saturday: Fire Gundy!

 

JVG ain't the problem this series. it's our gutless players that are afraid to do what it takes to get the job done. we had plenty of opportunities to close this thing out, but punked out, we got some punks on our squad, we need to man the f'ck up!

 

How can a team go 5 straight possessions without getting a shot off in the fourth quarter with the game on the line? How can anyone confuse that team with a well coached team?

JVG never called a time out to run a set play. T-mac looked like he couldn't dribble the damn ball he was so tired. Rockets were one call away from losing game 5 and being out in the first round again. I say They lose in game 7 at home. I hope they prove me wrong but I have a feeling Utah will advance.

 

If you can let your player get open layup under the basket when we is just down 1 to take the lead, I 'll call that coach a decent NBA coach.

 

I was mad because in this game we did have a chance to win but it let it slipped away by turn over.

 

We made them just fine in the regular season. This is on our players IMO.

 

JVG built some defensive team. Yeah, right. The Jazz ran and passed around his soft traps so easily I'm surprised they didn't shoot 70% for the game. Mr. Glue was a liability again -- and with only 4 points. Tell me again how he is better than Rudy Gay...I forget.

 

JVG must go, he don't know any offense. He played Yao as a robot, turnover machine. Win or lose, we need a better coach.
