An actual quote from Stan Van Gundy on why that Bam Adebayo play wasn’t dirty: “I am a bit biased here because I have not liked the Celtics’ approach this entire game.”
For real tho what does he mean by Celtics approach this game? Good defense?
embball13
He was also praising Bam for every fucking moving screen he did like he was the inventor of the pick. Like no shit it’s a good screen, he moves with the player and/or hip checks them.
chickspeak
Only this game? Every time he comments Celtics he’s biased.

Grounds for firing this is horrible

If you need a pick me up, just go on twitter and search for Stan Van Gundy.

You’ll have to excuse him, he’s *severely* Van Gundy’d
Happy_Yogurtcloset_2
Fuck SVG
Efficient_Art_1144
Yeah SVG was shit on this. Basically it was:
1) you can injure a guy after the whistle and it’s fine
2) it’s Tatums fault for shooting after the whistle
3) The Celtics deserve this for not playing well.
And he spent the whole game saying they were playing g worse defense than in game 2 which is ludicrous
chuckthebuc
That’s like not ok though …

I’ve hated SVG for so long my hate will be graduating from high school in a couple of years

It’s so fucking weird how much he hates the Celtics when his brother currently works with the Celtics

Stan Van Gundy was so horrible tonight my mom texted me asking why he was such an ass.

Sounds to me like he wanted to coach the Celtics and we didn’t hire him when Ime left. He sounds like an angry ex girlfriend. He needs to be fired. That was an embarrassment.

We were up 2-1, had a 20 point lead, on a 64 game win season.

He got it backward. What he meant to say was “I have not liked the Celtics’ approach this entire game because I’m a bit biased here.”

My mouth was literally hanging wide open for the entire monologue

You know when Caleb shot the last shot at like 2 seconds left and horford contended it. I wonder what Stan would’ve said if Horford slid his foot under Caleb.

Dude fkn sucks. Always has the dumbest takes and just repeats the same shit over and over again.
If it is a flagrant foul in live play, it should probably be more when it’s not live as it is completely unnecessary.
Screw SVG.

I’ve been saying this for years. Dude does not like us and every time he commentates, he makes a sneak diss or flat out says some shit against us.

“I have not liked their approach to this entire game…the one where they lead for 20 points for most of the game by playing better than the Heat”
Totodile336
he should just keep it a buck and say he hates the team lol
astarisaslave
What sort of approach, the being the more talented and healthier team on the court approach?
coffeespeaking
Stan Van Grundy has always been insufferable. He’s an officiating apologist—unless the call favors the Celtics.
LnGrrrR
What “approach” didn’t he like? Scoring? Playing defense?
Angularbackhands
I usually lile SVG, but he was so wrong on this. Clearly a reckless play.
baseballart
That was just the most bizarre rant.
gottapeenow2
You think that was bad, I got stuck driving and listening to the game on XM radio with Heat announcers. Holy shit that was tough, you’d think Miami got screwed on every call by their radio call.
HustlinInTheHall
He didn’t like the approach that had us up 20+ for most of the game?
wolf_tree
Let’s follow Stan’s logic: Any player that puts up a shot after the whistle can be flagrantly fouled and it’s the shooters fault…because I don’t like the Celtics.

[He resigned halfway through the year Miami won a ring in 2006](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Van_Gundy#Head coaching record), Pat Riley took over. What does SVG know about winning an NBA championship?
Btw, they gave him a ring. I think he’s bitter that his ring is basically a participation trophy.

SVG sounds like one of them doomers here
Yuckabuck
SVG said, “Tatum shouldn’t have tried to shoot. What was Bam supposed to do?” Um…how about not slide his feet underneath!!!!

Doris Burke is infatuated with Joel. Why can’t we let SVG proclaim his with Bam? Maybe we can start calling SVG, Pebbles.

The terrible approach of winning
