Jeff Van Gundy "Rockets will beat Lakers in WCF"

[LApwnd]

It's a joke. JVG is pretty decent by my books. Now magic... That fool is a complete moron(as a commentator).

How so?

magic pays so much lip service to everyone...

yep just like all the ESPN tools last year he was all over Clev and Chosen1 nut sack when they finally got eliminated he brack tracked big time.

Yao and K-mart won't hold up the whole season, and the Rockets will be lucky to make it out of round 1.

This is a ridiculous thread topic - better question/discussion would be 'what team poses the greatest threat to LA.' Getting worked up by comments from JVG who, let's face it, has always had a thing for Phil and LA, is pointless.

Something of note, and I realize it's early in the season - but LA looks good. Really good. All of the talk/hype has been around Miami, but LA quietly got better, and not just slightly better. Blake, Barnes, and Ratliff replacing Farmar, Morrison, Mbenga is a huge upgrade both offensively and, more importantly, defensively.

They seem like they're in mid-season form already. Odom playing over the summer was huge as long as he doesn't run out of gas. They can go big, small, offensive lineup, defensive lineup, post, outside - they can match up with anything an opponent wants to throw their way. And they're winning games they normally lose. By that I mean - not taking the first half of the season to fokk around knowing they'll be in the playoffs. Historically they have a tendency to play down to their competition, at least early on. This year they seem committed to jumping on people early, often, and keeping the pedal down. It's almost as if they're sending a message - the road goes through LA. It goes through us.

JVG is just showing that he's loyal to the Rockets franchise.
A team which he coached and still roots for.


JVG, Jackson, and Breen are still a very entertaining broadcast team. lol

[Mr 24 eight]

I can't stand Van Gundy for shamelessly fellating lebron james at any opportunity and trying ( but failing badly) to be funny every broadcast.

The whole Houston thing is him just showing love to the Rockets. I think after his time coaching there they have become his "favorite" team.

[DonKilluminati]

Where you get that crack from JVG?

I want sum.

[HailtoLaker]

he said the same in 08.

[Jase]

It's one guy's opinion. He could be right, it's probably wrong. No need to make more of it than it is.

[Nett]

Don't know about this...

But I don't think the Rockets aren't ready for the Lakers...

[Kalidogg24]

The Rockets always gives the Lakers a tough fight.

Same Story with the team we play tonight.

Good thing Bynum's not playing...

[joe.linnen]

I just hope he dies. I hate him so much

Yessur!

Just like how the Rockets said Yao ain't playing in any back to backs this season.
It should be the Same Song with Drew not playing any games against Memphis this year. LoL

Nah. Jeff meant it. The guy does things in the heat of the moment-->like how he grabbed Mourning's leg and got dragged around during a brawl. Often looks bad but never a joke.

Jeff Van Imp never got over loses to LA. It's the little man syndrome. The guy loses to LA even when he's no longer coaching. LOL.

"To see how he was dangling on my leg...Like a piece of gum on my shoe. I just so happen to look down my leg. (laughs) Damn, Van Gundy's on my leg."--Mourning
Even Patrick couldn't keep a straight face.

Jeff Van Chihuahua is like 'Oh it was nothing. I wasn't thinking that's all. Oh look there's a bus. grr..Ruff! Ruff!"
