    If JVG became the Raptors' HC, I would start to root for them. Lol


    ============================
    The Raptors must really be committed to incorporating defense into their future game plans.

    Before deciding on Mavs assistant coach Dwane Casey to take over for Jay Triano, Toronto president Bryan Colangelo talked to Jeff Van Gundy about the post.

    If that wasn't a dead giveaway that the Raptors are going to at least try to change their ways and address the most important end of the court, perhaps just as revealing was whom Colangelo didn't interview.

    Although it was long rumored, he did not reach out to his former coach in Phoenix, Mike D'Antoni, whom the Knicks may have made available for the right compensation.

    JVG will lose ALL his hair trying to coach defense to Raptor players.

    JVG is a great defensive coach. he can make the raptors into a good defensive team (not a great one b/c you need players for that also).

    i hope he will coach them, turn that franchise around, and put his name back on the map.

    I hope JVG doesn't go back to coaching (unless it's for the Rockets of course). I would much rather have him stay as a commentator where he provides good humor and speaks out the truth. Love the guy.
