Stan Van Gundy SUCKS

[tlongII]

Has the ball inbounded to Dwight Howard at the end of the game down 3? What a moron!

[Armando]

Well to be fair no one else could get open. They were out of timeouts so it would have been a 5 seond violation. But still they should not even had him in there.

[Armando]

Now I see why Riley took over for him in 05-06. No way does the Heat even sniff the Finals with him coaching.

[pauls931]

No one else was open you. He should of taken Howard out or had Howard INBOUND the fucking ball.

Na, take him out, if he inbounded, boston would have had an extra defender to chase the ball with.

[balli]

He's walking to the podium now... this should be great.

This is a hilarious postgame with SVG!

"no, we weren't prepared for anything. :rolleyes"

Next question.

:lmao

[florige]

NOW the dumbass wants to set a play up for Howard when they REALLY needed a 3. I always defended SVG, but like someone else said maybe Riley was right replacing him in 06.

[TampaDude]

Y'all think Billy Donovan would've done better??? I dunno...

[Armando]

That was a stupid statement. So according to him when asked how they lose a 14 point lead "Well Boston are the Champs". And? So you are supposed to lose a 14 point lead and the game to the KG less Celtics because they are the champs?

No I think who they need is an Avery Johnson or Popovich type coach.

[angelbelow]

that probably wasnt the designed play, moron.

He should be honest and say "I don't care, I only have to coach one more game."

Doesn't matter. It was stupid for Howard to even be on the floor.

[NewJerSpur]

Dwight Howard went to the FT line with a look as if like someone sent him to the principle's office....he wanted no part of the ball in the clutch. I have had a great disdain for Shaq ever since he put on a Lakers' uniform and have rarely found him skillfull, amusing, entertaining, endearing, or the like, but if there's one thing I'll give him props for it's this:

In situations like that, he OWNED the moment...if for nothing else to showup people that gave him flack about his horrid FT shooting or tried to Hack-A-Shaq their way into the win column.

Advantage, Shaq.

[Budkin]

Stan needs to be fired. Seriously.

[iggypop123]

they need a legit SG. turkoglue is a waste.

[IronMexican]

I missed his postgame interview. I bet it was a gem, though

[mingus]

i don't see why having Howard in there was a bad move on the part of SVG ... it's obvious the ball wasn't supposed to go to Howard , but nobody else was open ... Howard is the best rebounder in the NBA and was in the game solely to get an offensive rebound ... nothing wrong with the strategy there imo - it was the execution of the play ...

[IronMexican]

At that point, a miss pretty much seals it for you, so why even have him in there? They didn't need him for Defense, since the moment the shot went in(Assuming it was a 3), Boston would call a TO.

[mingus]

the part that didn't make sense to me was to have Howard miss the free throw ... weren't they down by 2 at that point ? i say try and make it and make Boston hit both free throws at the other end ... that was pretty idiotic ... there was something like 4+ seconds left IIRC and if Howard had made the free throw they could have quickly fouled somebody on the inbounds pass and hoped for a miss ... or if whoever they fouled made both they could've had another attempt to tie it w/ a three ...

you have him in there for an offensive rebound ... there was time for a quick shot , an offensive rebound and a kick out .

I'll have to agree at this point, the few games I saw earlier in the year he played well, but these playoffs he has seriously stunk it up except for one game. I wish I was familiar with nelson because I can't really tell how bad a coach Gundy is without seeing what he gave up. I mean maybe he's their nash where they can't do anything right on offense without him?

[Kamnik]

He really does suck.... it is pretty obvious to anyone watching Orlando games.

[Cane]

SVG's playoffs peformance has been pretty shoddy, same deal with the overall Magic team but the problem starts at the top.

The Van Gundys are just mediocre but very annoying to watch or listen to.

[Capt Bringdown]

Van Gundy family ain't cut out for the big leagues, neither in broadcasting or coaching.

I think he intentionally missed it because they didnt have any more timeouts

doesn't matter ... you don't have to go back that far to a game where a team has inbounded and ran full court to hit a three ... 2003 Marbury against SA .
