the guy took a pretty sh1tty team to the finals.
JVG is awesome ... lets not sh1t on him because he touched a nerve.
True, but it is still a legitimate question. What does JVG know about offense?
more than all of us.
And he knows that you would look like a loser texting about not relying on the three while all the top three shooting teams advanced.
I love JVG and I love his real person honesty.
Listening to him call games, you realize how much he knows. This was the same when Kerr used to call the games. Lots of great insight.
I love JVG, but his offensive schemes made Mike Woodson look like early Don Nelson. The offense was brutal when he was here and things didn't change much in Houston. That said, I'll always respect JVG and I understand he and Phil have been going at it for a while. The "Big Chief Triangle" statement is an example. I don't read much into it, either way.
Ha, yep, I remember the JVG offense- he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to adopt a fast pace with Spree and Camby. He is my favourite commentator though.
This whole 3pt thing is a red herring- these playoffs have shown you can have success with all different kinds of teams, and that success in the playoffs depends a lot on teams and players heart and execution- same as it's always been. Talent levels too- take Harden off the Rockets, take Thompson or Curry off the Warriors and they simply don't win as much regardless of their system.
At the end of the playoffs the teams reliant on 3pt shooting who came up short will go into the offseason determined to get a post scorer, and the poorer 3pt shooting teams will try to get better 3pt shooters. Same as it's always been.
