Taking Van Gundy to Task

Not sure why the pundits are all over Stan. He's got his team in the NBA Finals and if Courtney Lee makes a layup off a well designed out of bounds play and the Magic make some FREE throws, his team would be up 3-1.

I think SVG has done a serviceable job. The whole 'Shaq rap' on SVG is that he is a panic guy and will cause his team to lose in the end because he will panic. But not seeing it. He's one of the main reasons why they are there along with Howards rebs and blocks, Lewis' shooting and Turkgolu's ability to come off ballscreens.

Jason Whitlock wrote today that SVG should be forced to resign. Why? Not buying that one. I really think SVG gets a bad rap because he's a fat, dumpy, ex Div III white guy who never made the League. Therefore, he shouldn't be screaming at guys.

I think it is funny, SVG is whining and begging and pleading during huddles and no one is listening, then camera goes down to Jackson who is talking about rhythm and getting in the flow and getting centered and you look at the players on his bench... and no one is listening either.

They've played 100 games and they are NBA guys.
