Not surprised.
Dwights happy.
I wonder who he will hire?
Crazy part is I think he's a top 5 coach as far as X's and O's are concerned but he seems to have a problem getting his players to play for him.
van gundy will be coaching in the NBA by october.
Damn. Even tt's twin is now fat and unemployed instead of just fat.
maybe one of the least surprising firings in awhile
Orl would have been better off trading Dwight, keeping SVG. Their cap situation sucks with all aging vets so they aint gonna win anytime soon. Might as well get some young talent and keep the coach.
would like to see him come to the Clippers
95% of the NBA coaches are meaningless, only a handful actually make adjustments that help their teams win. Van Gundy is one of them. But it is a very short list. Popovich, Doc Rivers, doug collins, tom thibodeau (usually).
Problem is he doesnt seem to be a 'players' coach so he gets buried by the guys who play for him. Shaq did it and Howard did it. He either needs a team with guys willing to listen or a team of young guys who dont have huge egos. I think Clippers could work because they all seem to be pretty unselfish and in it for the common good. You dont see Paul or Griffen burying their team mates or bashing them in pressers for making bad passes.
would like to see him with the knicks or a young team like the sacramento kings. he took dwight and a bunch of nobodies to the finals. what would he do with 3 all stars that the knicks have? or give him all that young talent with the kings he would make them a powerhouse
good move
he was the worst
WTF is orlando doing? they haven't made 1 logical decision all year
Ron jeremy is gone
see ya later Hedgehog
shoulda got rid of the tall retarded one instead
funny thing is, Dwight doesn't even want to be there. so they're trying to appease a guy who's gonna be gone?
Orlando will find a puppet to fit on dwights hand as his hand will always be up the coaches ass
About time.
howard might even be damaged goods. Odds are he leaves anyway. But if he starts having chronic back issues this will prove to be a very horrible move.
Orlando obviously didnt watch what happened in Cleveland 2 years ago.
What makes it worse is Van Gundy is a much better coach than Brown is.
i hate D.Howard! he will never be a winner!
The Magic should hire Jeff and put Stan as the commentator.
