Van Gundy Retires?

 

뉴욕 포스트에 따르면, 휴스턴 코치 제프 벤건디과 이번 시즌을 끝으로 은퇴를 할지도 모른답니다. 이 결정은 유타와의 안타까운 7차전 패배와는 관계없이 내린 결정이라고 합니다. (아 밴 건디 은퇴하면 NBA 안볼래 OTL)

 

New York Post - 05/06 - 6:26 AM EST (AP Photo)

According to the New York Post, Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy is leaving the profession for the foreseeable future, and his decision has nothing to do with last night's Game 7 103-99 playoff elimination home loss to the Jazz.

Post writer Peter Vecsey, citing an impeccable source, says Van Gundy's mind has been made up for weeks, if not months, to distance himself from the stress of the sidelines regardless of whether Houston got bumped early on or took the season to the championship limit.

As evidenced by how the Jazz beat their opponents to countless rebounds and loose balls, Houston is desperate for livelier bodies and a more "athletically inclined" coach.

In fact, Vecsey writes, a source reveals Alexander's emissaries already have spoken to at least one targeted replacement. [READ]

Sloan Thought Warriors Would Beat Dallas

제리 슬론은 골든 스테이트 워리어스가 댈러스 매버릭스를 이길줄 알았답니다. 도사님 유타와 워리어스는 어떻게...?

Salt Lake Tribune - 05/06 - 12:44 PM EST

After beating the Rockets in a closely fought Game 7, Utah began setting their sights on the Warriors.

"The way they were playing, we played them at the end of the year, and I thought they would beat Dallas to start with,'' Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "They've got a great point guard [Baron Davis] and they've got a lot of great athletes around him." [READ]

Spurs Leave Suns Bloodied And Beaten In Game 1

팀 던컨님인 33득점, 16리바운드를 기록하면서 선즈와의 1차전 승리를 가져갑니다. 이번 1차전은 피로 얼룩졌습니다. 스티브 내쉬가 코 부위에 난 상처로 인한 출혈로 인해서 마지막 45초를 제대로 뛰지못했습니다. 토니파커가 32득점으로 맹활약을 했습니다. 마이클 핀리도 19점으로 팀 승리를 도왔습니다.

AP - 05/06 - 7:20 PM EST

Tim Duncan had 33 points and 16 rebounds -- eight offensive -- and Tony Parker added 32 points to lead the Spurs to a rough-and-tumble 111-106 victory over the Suns on Sunday.

Steve Nash scored 31 for Phoenix but missed a crucial 45 seconds in the final minute because of a bloody cut on his nose, the result of a head-on collision with Parker with 2:53 to play.

Michael Finley added 19 points for San Antonio, which with the victory has home-court advantage the rest of the series. [READ]

Knicks Monitoring O'Neal & Garnett Situations

닉스가 가넷과 저메인 오닐에 눈독을 들이고 있다고 합니다. 저메인 오닐에 관심이 더 많은듯 하군요. 데이빗 리를 이용해서 가넷을 데려올라고 한답니다. 데이빗 리 좋은 선수인데...

Newsday - 05/06 - 7:01 PM EST

"The Knicks already are monitoring Garnett's situation closely, as well they should," writes Ken Berger of Newsday. "Despite saying he's not looking to make major changes, Thomas also is focusing on Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal, perhaps even more so than Garnett."

Berger advocates the Knicks sending a talent and pick package for Garnett. He states that Isiah Thomas would consider parting with David Lee to bring Garnett to New York. "Even if Minnesota demanded David Lee as part of the deal for Garnett, it apparently wouldn't be a deal-breaker for Thomas," reveals Berger, "nor should it be." [READ]

Well-Rested Cavs Open With 81-77 Win Over Nets

휴식을 잘 치룬 캐브스가 뉴저지 네츠와의 1차전을 승리했습니다. 리브란이 감기에도 불구하고 준수한 활약을 했습니다.

Yahoo.com - 05/06 - 5:35 PM EST

LeBron James had a nasty head cold. The Nets had a bigger headache.

Cleveland's defense kept New Jersey's Big 3 from getting into an offensive flow and James sniffled his way to 21 points as the Cavaliers opened the Eastern semifinals with an 81-77 victory over the Nets on Sunday.

The Cavaliers came in well rested after their sweep of Washington in the first round, and they needed every ounce of energy to hold off the Nets, who pulled within 79-77 on Vince Carter's two free throws with 19.5 seconds left.

But James, who came down with a cold during Cleveland's time off, scored on a tough drive to put Cleveland up by four, and on New Jersey's final possession, the Cavaliers clamped down on defense. [READ]

Report: Dirk Likely To Be MVP

더크가 최초로 유럽 출신의 MVP가 될듯합니다. 비록 1라운드 탈락하긴 했지만, 노위츠키의 플레이는 다른 선수에 모범이 되기에 충분하다고 생각합니다.

Arizona Republic - 05/06 - 3:49 PM EST

Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki projects to become the NBA's first European-born Most Valuable Player and the first to receive the award after playoff elimination in 25 years, according to The Republic's survey of 73 percent of MVP voters.

Counting 96 of the award's 132 voters, Nowitzki would outscore Phoenix two-time defending MVP Steve Nash 831 points to 778 (it is a 10-7-5-3-1 system). Nowitzki garnered 57 first-place votes to Nash's 37, likely ending Nash's bid to become the only player to win the award three times consecutively besides Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell.

Van Gundy Says Decision Has Not Been Made

 

제프 밴 건디는 코치 직에 대해서 아직 결정을 내리지 않았다고 합니다.

 

 

Houston Chronicle - 05/06 - 1:49 PM EST

Jeff Van Gundy said Sunday he has not decided to step down and Rockets owner Leslie Alexander said he has not reached any decision about Van Gundy's future.

Van Gundy has one non-guaranteed season remaining on his contract.

Told that there has been speculation that he would fire Van Gundy, Alexander said, "That's totally false.

"There is absolutely no truth to that. That's false, totally false. That decision has not been made."

Van Gundy strongly denied he had reached a decision. [READ]

"Billy was not 100 percent sure that he wanted it," a source close to Donovan said Saturday night, "but they called him, so he asked for the world and did not get it." [READ]

Kansas' Wright To Sign With Agent

캔사스의 줄리안 라이트가 에이전트를 고용한다고 합니다. NBA 진출을 완전 결정했다는 사인으로 보입니다. 코비 브라이언트와 일한 경험이 있는 뢉 펠린카가 에이전트가 될것 같다고 합니다.

Kansas City Star - 05/06 - 10:15 AM EST

Julian Wright’s basketball career at Kansas will be officially over soon.

Wright, who declared for the NBA draft in early April, will sign with an agent sometime this week, according to KU coach Bill Self.

Wright, who’s expected to be a lottery pick in the June draft, has chosen to sign with agent Rob Pelinka, best known for negotiating Kobe Bryant’s $137 million deal in 2004, the largest contract in NBA history. Pelinka also works for Los Angeles Clippers forward Corey Maggette and has already signed former Arizona guard Marcus Williams in this year’s draft. [READ]

Yao Takes Blame For Rockets' First-Round Loss

야오는 자기가 맡은일을 잘하지 못해서 졌다고 합니다. 리바운드를 잡지 못한게 안타깝다고 합니다.

Houston Chronicle - 05/06 - 6:18 AM EST

Before the playoffs started, Tracy McGrady made a simple proclamation: "It's on me."

By saying that, McGrady was shouldering the burden of finally getting the Rockets past the first round of the playoffs, something they had failed to do since 1997.

But after the Rockets' 103-99 loss to Utah on Saturday in Game 7 of the Western Conference opening-round series, Yao Ming was more than willing to shoulder the burden for the team's latest failure.

Yao scored 29 points, including 15 in the fourth quarter that almost — almost — saved the day for the Rockets, but he again was stung by defeat ... even though the Rockets had built a 2-0 series lead and had Game 7 at Toyota Center.

"I feel like I want to cry," Yao said. "I know everyone says that tomorrow is a new day and that I'll have a long career, but in the last two weeks we've gone from up 2-0 all the way to 3-4, and it's all over for our season. That's very frustrating."

"I didn't do my job," Yao said. "I didn't do a very good job of rebounding. Rebound, rebound, rebound. Whatever, long rebound, short rebound — it's my job to rebound. You can't say because it's a long rebound that I couldn't get it. I have to get it. I didn't do my job." [READ]

Van Gundy Won't Discuss His Future With Rockets

밴 건디는 로케츠와의 미래에 대해서 노 코멘트랍니다.

Houston Chronicle - 05/06 - 6:14 AM EST

Jeff Van Gundy was in no mood to discuss his future with the Rockets in the wake of his team's 103-99 loss to the fifth-seeded Jazz.

"All that stuff next year is for another time," Van Gundy said after the fourth-seeded Rockets became the first to lose a home game in the series with the Jazz. "Tonight is about obviously a hugely disappointing result."

"Guys had a tremendous regular season and a great group, and we didn't play as well as we would have hoped in the postseason."

Van Gundy's status with the team has been the question on the minds of many after owner Leslie Alexander declined to give Van Gundy an extension, effectively forcing him to enter next season without a guaranteed contract. [READ]

Kobe: "My Patience Is Really On 'E'"

2008-2009 시즌 후에 계약 옵션을 행사할 수 있는 코비 브라이언트는 팀을 떠나기는 싫지만, 팀이 챔피언 멤버를 구성하는데 실패한다면 자기 인내심은 이미 바닥이 났다고 합니다.

Los Angeles Daily News - 05/06 - 1:15 AM EST

Kobe Bryant can opt out of his current contract with the Lakers after the 2008-2009 season and he didn't exactly shoot down the possibility of exercising that option.

"I've been a Laker fan my whole life, I hate to even think about me going someplace else," Bryant said.

"When I re-signed here, they promised that they would build a contender and build a contender now. I don't want to have to wait anymore than I already have," he said.

"I know my patience is about as short as my 1-year old daughter. ... Here we are now, three years from then and my patience is really on `E,' so we really have to put our pedal to the metal and do something." [READ]

McGrady, Rockets Falter In Game 7

맥 그래디가 이번에도 1라운드 통과에 실패 했습니다. 팬으로서 정말 눈물이 납니다. OTL 맥그래디는 29득점 13 어시스트로 좋은 활약을 했음에도 불구하고 카를로스 부저의 35득점 14리바운드의 활약을 극복할 수 없었습니다. 흑흑흑

Yahoo! - 05/06 - 0:37 AM EST

Tracy McGrady leaned over in front of his bench as time ran out, his hands on his knees as he absorbed one more playoff failure.

The young Utah Jazz , meanwhile, embraced one another and quietly celebrated after a 103-99 win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday night that clinched their first playoff series victory since the days of John Stockton and Karl Malone.

Carlos Boozer had 35 points, 14 rebounds and five assists in Game 7 for the Jazz, who became only the seventh team since 2001 to come back from a 2-0 deficit and win a series. They're also just the 19th visiting team to win in 97 Game 7s in playoff history.

McGrady had 29 points and 13 assists, but the seven-time All-Star fell to 0-6 in the playoffs. The Rockets -- his Rockets -- blew a 2-0 lead for the second time in three seasons. They won twice in Dallas in 2005, then dropped the series in seven games.

The home team had won the previous six games in this series, but all the games at the Toyota Center had gone down to the wire. [READ]

Dejected Nowitzki Ponders Present And Future

더크는 좋은 정규시즌 활약에도 불구하고 어떤 이유때문인지 플레이오프에 자기 방식대로 플레이를 할 수 없었다고 합니다. 자신의 리더십은 상당히 괜찮다고 생각한다고 합니다. 플레이 오프에 그 능력을 발휘못한것이죠.

ESPN - 05/05 - 11:47 PM EST

Cursed with a long offseason, Dirk Nowitzki plans to spend much of it figuring out what went wrong for him and the Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs.

"The next couple of weeks are definitely going to be tough," he said Saturday. "A lot of thinking."

The one question Nowitzki WON'T ask himself is the one everyone else is asking about him: Does he have what it takes to lead a team to a championship?

"I think I did a decent job in the regular season of taking over when I had to," he said. "For whatever reason, this playoff series I couldn't do it. I couldn't put my stamp on it the way I wanted to. It was definitely very disappointing. I still think I have pretty good leadership skills. I just didn't show it this playoff series." [READ]

Peterson Unsure Of Future In Toronto

모리스 피터슨이 랩터스에서의 미래가 불투명합니다. 피터슨은 지금 그런 생각을 하기에는 너무 이르다고 하네요.

Globe And Sports - 05/05 - 11:46 PM EST

Morris Peterson may have played his best game of the season when the Toronto Raptors needed it most, but he still might not be back with the only NBA team he's even known.

Peterson scored nine points on four-of-five shooting while chasing down eight rebounds and providing determined defence against the New Jersey Nets ' Vince Carter in the Raptors' Game 6, series-ending loss on Friday night.

But almost immediately the focus was on Peterson's future with the team. The seven-year veteran is a free agent and was at times lost in a crowded rotation of wing players.

"Overall Morris had a disappointing season," said Raptors president and general manager Bryan Colangelo. "He would tell you that."

"But the way he finished and contributed last night [Friday] in a critical game, a game that meant a lot, I think that was a huge game for us last night and Morris was a big part of that. The question obviously is which Morris are we going to see if we sign him to a contract next year?"

"I'd like to think that Morris being the high character individual he is, he's going to learn from this experience whether it's for the Toronto Raptors or someone else."

Peterson said it was too soon for him to consider if he'd be wearing a different jersey for the first time in his career next season. [READ]

Suns Thomas' Role Unlikely To Grow

선즈는 팀 던컨을 막기 위해서 컷 토마스를 트레이드 해서 얻어왔습니다. 하지만 이번 2라운드에 컷 토마스의 팀 비중이 높아지지는 않을것이라고 합니다. 선즈는 스퍼스가 선즈 스타일로 도전해오길 원한다고 합니다. 반대로가 아니라...

East Valley Tribune - 05/05 - 11:43 PM EST

The Suns acquired Kurt Thomas in a major trade two years ago in large part to guard superstar Tim Duncan. Therefore, it would be safe to assume that Thomas would be expected to play a larger-than-usual role in this huge Round 2 series.

Not necessarily, the East Valley Tribune is reporting.

“Not necessarily,” coach Mike D’Antoni said. “I don’t think that’s a given.”

In the mind of the Suns’ coach, this series will be a battle of wills, as each team tries to impose its vastly different style of play on the other.

Playing Thomas extensively could be seen as giving in, he hinted.

“We have to impose our will, run and have an up-tempo game,” D’Antoni said.

“On the other hand, if he has a bigger role, then that could lead to more halfcourt, more slowing it down. You have to be careful about that.”

The bottom line: The Suns want the Spurs to match up to them, not the other way around [READ]

Billups, Hamilton Each Score 20 As Pistons Rout Bulls In Game 1

빌럽스와 해밀턴이 각각 20득점을 올리면서, 시카고와의 1차전을 가볍게 승리! 노련함이 앞서는 건가요?

Yahoo.com - 05/05 - 10:09 PM EST

Pistons coach Flip Saunders said his team is totally different than it was at this time last year because of a renewed focus.

Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton each scored 20 points, leading the Pistons to a 95-69 rout over Chicago in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Saturday night.

The Pistons are still kicking themselves for losing to Miami in the conference finals last year -- after winning the title in 2004 and coming just short of repeating -- and vowed to show how determined they are to at least get back to the NBA finals. [READ]
