    Way to go TNT! You just ruined the Rockets special vacation. And since it was Jeff Van Gundy's Idea im sure David Stern will want to fine him the worst.

    I love how everyone are saying Van Gundy's too strict and everything when he gets the entire group together for some bonding on a Las Vegas trip. Julio, if its anyone to blame, its McGrady for spilling the beans.

    Don't worry, the TWolves got fined during the summer for having a group bonding in Las Vegas. It didn't stop them from going through it anyways. They said the time together was worth the fine the league handed out to them.

    It wasnt McGrady's fault. TNT was talking about it during the entire game. And then they asked him about it after the game and you could tell that T-mac wanted it to be kept secret. McGrady said some thing like "How did you guys find out about that? You guys weren't supposed to know." It was TNT's fault.

    Yea I think they should go through it, screw the fine. If it helps the team chemistry and gets us winning more, I'm all for it.

    Hey, who knows. Maybe the money Yao makes at the casino and the poker tables can cover the fine. With his contract extension, he should give the team a treat.

    As long as no suspensions are doled out, no one will think of it as a big deal.

    Yea a the rockets deserve some fun I guess. Thay have been nothing but downtalked ever since they entered the season. Over-hyped by the media, and then the media basically cut their throats when they started to lose.

    It was a $100,000 fine. Apparently, JVG didn't realize that it was against the rules.
