One of the things we respect the most about Stan is that he is not your typical coach. One of his biggest attributes is his willingness to admit mistakes and make adjustments. He does not try and do things his way or beat a certain style to death. His sole focus is on winning and formulating a game plan to do so game by game.
Well Chris Sheridan of ESPN.com was able to get a couple of quotes from Stan Van Gundy on possible adjustments going into Game 2.
"Van Gundy did acknowledge he had erred by using Nelson for the entire second quarter, saying he would limit Nelson to stretches of 6 or 7 minutes of playing time as the series moves forward."
"Van Gundy said he would alter his substitution patterns for Game 2, and -- in a shift from his statements of the previous night -- indicated that using a Twin Towers alignment of Dwight Howard at center and Marcin Gortat at power forward was an option if he feels the defensive boost wouldn't cause too many problems on the offensive end of the court."
"Of the nine guys we played, I thought Gortat had the best all-around game last night," Van Gundy said.

The Mission. The Statement.
We are Terry and The Pump Fakes, Jareth Cutestory, Vile Feminista, Maxwell Effort, I 3 Freely, Paul Ego, Supply and Demand, El Fantasma de Carlos, The Big Train, The Nickel Steak, Ayo!, and Tyson J. Perfect. Together, we are Magic fans. We remember Nick’s steal against Jordan, Billy Donovan, Scott Skiles, Jerryl Sasser and Reece Gaines, The Mac Attacks, the NBA on NBC, and Grant Hill’s ankle. We also watch TV and read the internet, thus noticing the endless flow of unoriginal Orlando Magic related puns. We have combined to discuss the Magic, the NBA, and from time to time supply side economics and the life of Leonardo da Vinci. Together we are The Puns Are Starting to Bore Me.
