I really don't know what Les was thinking, to me w/ any coach you wait til the year the deal will be done, then let the guy show you he's a winner of some kind. To me Les rewarded our failure in the playoffs by extending JVG one more year? 3 years w/ good talent is long enough to decide if the dude is right for your franchise.
To me Paul Silas got a raw deal in CLE, one year w/ Lebron and he's gone...
Carlisle put together that DET team, and got them to 50wins, they fired him?
Rudy had one bad year wh/ in essence landed us Yao, they canned him? He deserved better 2 rings, nuff said.
IMO Jeff has always been highly overrated, even more so when he coached the Knicks, ie Pat Riley's Knicks. He just took over after Pat left that's all... he had Ewing, Spre, Allan Houston, Larry Johnson, Charlie Ward, Charles Oakley, Ch Smith, Anthony Mason, got dang??? I could take that team to the finals... are any of our role players as good as those guys, outside of Rafer, nope they're not...
He couldn't do anything w/ Rudy's roc's then put together his 'own guys' and can't do anything w/ them at all? I'm pretty much done w/ him as far as believing we will do any serious contending w/ him as our leader on the sidelines. I just don't see it. In bball, to me that's the dif in teams who win big and contend, and those who have 'alright teams' w/ great stars. That's what we are when healthy; an alright TEAM w/ great Stars? No chance of winning the big dance though, cuz the well rounded team can just outplay you at your other positions. Just my opinion though guys, don't shoot me...
I have no real faith that the org will make any moves in the offseason to get us into prominance? They stupidly believe that Yao/Mac are all you need and you can just put total scrubs around them? No, MJ and Pip needed Rodman/Paxson/Kerr/Kukoch/H.Grant around them to win. We need dudes like that, JHo and Stro ain't gonna get it. DWes/Head ain't gonna get it done in the Western Conf either frankly. You've got to get some real players in here soon, or you'll miss your prime chance. Look at the IND Colts, they're not title contenders anymore w/o Edgerrin James, they'll be good but not champs. This is not a slam on our role guys, but they've shown they can't take it to the next level, and when you want a TITLE you have a window, you've got to make the push while the window is open wide, not while its closing. Tracy and Yao may only have this MVP type play for maybe two or three years? You need to put the right team out there now, not when Tmac's ailing, it'll be too late then?
Does JVG ever say anything positive??
