<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">HOUSTON: A-minus Carry-over grade from the superb Shane Battier deal. The Rockets couldn't swing a deadline trade because they didn't have anything to trade; even their plan to land Chucky Atkins by sending old footage of Juwan Howard from the '96 season to Jerry West and pretend it was a 2007 tape didn't work. Too bad. They were one more quality guard away from being legitimately interesting in May and June. And while we're here, nobody is allowed to mention another "Coach of the Year" candidate in 2007. The award goes to Jeff Van Gundy. Done and done. Let's agree not to bring this up again.</div>Thoughts and comments? I know some of you guys certainly won't agree about the JVG part. *cough* Rock4life *cough*.
JVG hasn't had Yao and Mac for a long time together and we still have a good record. Forget D'Antoni and Avery Johnson, this is JVG's year. He deserves it.
I really didn't think about JVG til I read this on ESPN a day or two ago and after some thought, it's totally true. Give it to him, unless they screw up big.
eventhough I don't agree with his decisions sometimes, overall JVG's done a good job this year...he deserves it imo...
