    when does fran the blogger (whatever happened to his career?) start asking players to take cheap shots at the previous coaching staff? it happens on every coaching change in every nba city and blinebury im sure will start soon.

    It's inevitable, just like taking cheap shots at the previous GM.

    I respect your takes, dcd. You obviously know your stuff. But, you badmouth the Rockets organization all the time (you just took a crack at Snyder and CD has been your personal whipping boy).

    Like you, EVERYONE has a right to his opinion, including JVG's former players. And if they like this camp more than his, so what.

    thanks for allowing me an opinion. i have never killed the organization...only cd and i stopped that months ago. i havent changed my feelings just didnt want to go that route anymore...and i give no respect to snyder or jl3...zero. the only time snyder showed up early to practice last year was on daylights savings time where he couldnt remember to turn his clock back...hes not a bright bulb...but i still think jvg should have played him vs. utah.

    and its also about fran the blogger and how he asks the questions...

    Chopping down the prior coach is a popular sport, especially on the first day of training camp. I expect more comments. After a while, the JVG stuff should just die off but I imagine reporters will continue to egg the players on.

    That post reminds me of some of the Tampa Bay Buccaneer players' comments about Tony Dungy after "Chucky" took over. Maybe we can have the same effect happen to the Rockets and go all the way.

    Name the two Rocket coaches that never won a playoff series while coaching here in the last 25 years.

    Don Cheney and JVG

    The also happen to be the two coaches that never took us to the finals.

    And the truth hurts! :D

    The embers of jvg love once burned bright, but now thankfully they are fading.

    Might a bright bulb consider an occasional if accidental grammatical correctitude? Perhaps a tad of punctuation? Your whines ring cold and empty, and bright bulb free.

    see: Phoenix Suns (although they haven't won a championship, at least they've got past the first round repeatedly..)
