All your questions
TNT`s Kenny 'The Jet" Smith invited Houston Rockets` head coach Jeff Van Gundy to the TNT studio to talk about the Rockets.
Kenny Smith: Hello and we are here live with Houston Rockets` head coach Jeff Van Gundy.
Jeff Van Gundy: Hello.
KS: So coach Jeff, could you tell me what do you think about your current team?
JVG: Well I can tell that I really like it, LeBron is fantastic, Gooden is amazing in his rebounds, Samuel in his deffense, Smith is great, well I like everything.
KS: Do you think you could draft a better team?
JVG: Well I think we drafted one of the best teams in the NBA right now. Of course everyone would want to have the Pacers which Drafted Kevin Garnett Larry Hughes and gave 3 players to get Tracy McGrady. Just fantastic that they have such an explosive lineup.
KS: What are the minuses and pluses in your team.
JVG: Well the biggest minus probably is the shooting we don`t have a very trusted shooter, of course James, Deron and JR can shoot from the arc and LeBron is a fantastic shooter in mid-range, but still it`s a minus. Another would be an individual it`s Deron's athletics. He is a little overweight by his position and his height and hasn`t got the quickness and the speed like other point guards do, but we will work on that. Hmm... Oh and another minus would be Murray's self-fishness, we will try hard to make it a plus. Everything else is a plus.
KS: What do you like the most in James?
JVG: Well almost everything he can shoot, pass, dunk well everything.
KS: Ok. What are the best teams in the NBA right now?
JVG: I would say Indiana, Atlanta, Los Angeles Lakers, maybe Memphis and us.
KS: Thank you for your answers, and thank you fans for watching us. Tune in TNT when Rockets make their season opener and do forget to vote for your all-stars.
