He went for 8pts with 8rebs off 4/8 shooting.

Supposedly Kenny and Chuck riped him apart.

How long does van Gundy last?

I dont think he makes it to the next game. Sadly, I think he ousted himself by even addressing it. And I honestly don't think he cares. He rather not work in a work environment like that and I don't blame him.

And for the magic, if they are gonna rid themselves of him, they might as well now as they are in the midst of their worst losing streak in the van Gundy era

If true, I'm losing more and more respect for him. Then again, the NBA is filled with douches like him.

Van Gundy sees the writing on the wall. He's going to get fired to appease a star who's going to leave the team anyway.

Funniest tweet I saw today was that DH12 went from the uber Christian virgin around the HIV infested groupie slayer Magic Johnson AC GREEN to 5 different baby mommas SHAWN KEEMP

Great for him standing up for himself. I'd like to see some coaches come out and support him.

Sometimes I wish the NBA had the NFLs CBA;
Howard would have been cut or released months ago

I like how Shaq, who was on the Heat when SVG was fired and replaced by Riley, said that the players actually respected Riley (slap in SVG's face) and played harder for him en route to the championship.

He won't be out of a job long if the Magic can him.

I genuinely appreciate the way that SVG has handled the whole situation. Very upfront and candid about it.

SVG is candid and doesn't bs. Good for him. DH is my favorite player, but he is fricking pissing me off.

Does Howard need to take a huge poop on Gundy's car to get his message across?

Part of being a coach is having your team prepared and having their respect. What SVG did today didnt do that. It wasnt exactly a secret that Howard wanted SVG out, and it seems that most of the team feels the same way.

History has shown that this isnt the first time. I respect what SVG has done as a Magic fan, but its time to go.

I'm not defending Howard either really. Dude needs to grow up and I think it will take a coach that demands respect to help with that. SVG is not that guy. He wasnt that guy in Miami either.What he did today proved that.

The Magic might as well let Ewing take over for the rest of the season so they can see what he can do with this team, and then move on from there.

It would be nice if the Magic had a coach like Doc Rivers........oh wait

Yeah, Shaq led the way for SVG to get fired. He was Dwight Howard there.

I'm sure the Hornets being one of the worst teams in the NBA hasn't helped your interest.

I'm pretty sure that worked out and proved to be the right decision. Even though SVG wasnt fired he "retired".

It seems like history is repeating it self in a way. Its obvious SVG has lost the TEAM not just Howard. Not to mention his coaching decisions.

Hasn't played that big of an effect. I watched games outside of the hornets all the time last year. Not this year
