The one who bombed out in SAC while juggling a sexual harassment suit?

Yes.

Yes.

That's the guy. It makes him so much easier to justify firing later on.

Speaking of bombing...

Do you remember that playoffs? Ewing was hurt in the ECF. They never had a chance in that series. Dudley started the first two games while Camby racked up 5 fouls each coming off the bench in a 24 minute split with Dudley. Then Camby started and fouled out of game 3 in 16 minutes of action. Charlie Ward and Chris Childs split time in a platoon as well. The criticism of JVG is dumb.

Ehem, hold my beer... The fact that JVG got that team to the finals with Choolie Ward and Chris Dudley starting speaks volumes of his coaching chops and, if anything, it absolutely gives his opinion weight.

Yes, of course that's it. It's the fact that Choolie Wad and Shaq's girlfriend got us to the Finals. How could I forget that. Excuse me, I have to go pee in my Honda.

I thought that coaches are rated by what they can accomplish with the talent they got. Meaning the desparity between the talent level and results is the difference between a good and a bad coach.

I feel like there should be a blanket rule that sexual harassment can't take place once you enter someone's hotel room. Rape for sure is different，but doesn't someone saying "sure let's talk about it in my hotel room" the same thing as asking if they want to bone? It's a hotel room.

I feel like you should talk about this with your gf or mother or sister or several other female figures in your life and get their take because I think they will VEHEMENTLY disagree with you.

And I thought the 1999 run was more the talent of the Sprewell and Houston show, with a splash of LJ and the last gasps of Ewing's knees. Not the two or three scrubs you're touting as coaching chops. Anyway, you love JVG; good for you. I did for a time as well. Being really old, I pore over that damn series for hours every once and awhile and it still pisses me off. And get those effing kids off my lawn!

Peace.
