Houston Roundball Review Archive: April 2007 JVG: any pressure is on Me

Friday, April 20, 2007

HOUSTON, TX (Toyota Center) -- After today's lengthy Rockets' practice, Rockets Head Coach Jeff Van Gundy spoke with the media.

As usual, he didn't offer any "bulletin board material" for the Utah Jazz.

JVG stated he doesn't want his players to play with any unnecessary pressure on themselves during the playoffs nor in this series.

He wants his players to see the playoffs as an opportunity to play as hard and as free as they possibly can. No pressure whatsoever.

He added the only person who should be feeling any pressure is JVG himself.

Take a listen: "...then that's on me..."
