Stan Van Gundy – No Longer The Master Of Panic
Can't Stop The Bleeding — Sorry to grab a clip you’ve undoubtedly seen on all the highlights shows already, but on the slim chance you’ve not seen Orlando’s intro for head coach Stan Van Gundy prior to Wednesday’s 120-106 defeat of Philly, well, get used to it.  I predict Stan V.G. becoming bigger than Keyboard Cat and Kayne parodies combined. And on this rare occasion, genuine props to Tony Kornheiser for coming up with the most creative answer so far to the question “what was Van Gundy thinking?” (”…of ways not to get J.J. Reddick into ...

Stan Van Gundy, Bored NBA Head Coach
Outside the Boxscore — The one thing that I always find funny about the NBA is the pageantry of the introductions and the techno light mix that they bring. The Orlando Magic raised their Eastern Conference championship banner and well, Stan Van Gundy was a little on the bored side. I don't blame him, the economy sucks and that NBA Finals winner cut could have bought him a beach house. (Courtesy of Sharapova's Thigh) ...

Your "Lazer-Light Shows" do not amuse Stan Van Gundy
That NBA Lottery Pick — (I posted this over at Outside the Boxscore but this needs to see the light of day here) The one thing that I always find funny about the NBA is the pageantry of the introductions and the techno light mix that they bring.

Stan Van Gundy is not amused with your pregame shenanigans
Ball Don't Lie — In the words of Sharapova's Thighs, "Stan Van Gundy would rather be at a knitting convention while studying calculus than be introduced at his Orlando Magic's home opener." Man, what a guy. Also on SVG's list of dislikes: kittens, sunshine, rainbows. Likes: turtles. Go figure. Cheers, Hooped Up.

Friday Links - Granderson the Manderson, Layla, & Boycotting the Browns
DETROIT4LYFE — Today's link post will be a bit abbreviated. It's Halloween weekend, I'm in college, enough said. This afternoon, Tigers' beat writer Jason Beck reported that Curtis Granderson has won this year's Marvin Miller Man of the Year award. The award is voted on by the players, and goes to the player that demonstrates excellence both on and off the field. It's nice to see a Tiger get recognized for something this year, even if it wasn't the division championship fans were hoping for.

Stan Van Gundy Needs to Calm Down! Video
NESW Sports, Sports Videos — Stan Van Gundy Needs to Calm Down! Video. Some people just get too hyped up for the season opener. SVG got a little out of hand this year. Stan, you went to the Finals and your team picked up Vincanity! Cheer up a tad. Hat tip 3rd Qtr Collapse, and Ball Don’t Lie.

Video: Stan Van Gundy Needs a Vacation
Basketball Fiend — Listen, I don’t expect SVG to leap out of his seat or anything during team intros. It’s hardly necessary. But sitting in despair on the bench, looking like the poster boy for a suicide preventation hotline? C’mon Stan! Pull it together, man! You’re running a title contender. Not the Sacramento Kings. * Follow Basketball Fiend on Twitter @BasketballFiend ...

T Lamont’s Top 10 NBA Teams
Ball or Nuthin' — ... 3. Orlando Magic - The defending Eastern Conference champs got out of the gate very well by winning five of its first six games.  Vince Carter has already missed the last three games with a sprained ankle, but Orlando is the type of team that won’t miss a beat with him on the shelf…especially once they get forward Rashard Lewis back from his suspension.  Perhaps Magic coach Stan Van Gundy will be a little more excited when Lewis rejoins the starting lineup. ...
