    I was given a special tour of the Rocket's locker room just before the playoffs and took a photo of this letter that Van Gundy wrote to T-Mac. Just a brief motivational letter, really doesn't say much. However, I thought you guys might be interested.

    The tour was cool, got to meet Mario Elie. Locker room was amazing, state-of-the-art, first class.

    Sorry, I'm not much on the internet and didn't know how to post the image. My wife actually had to show me how, embarrassingly enough.

    According to that picture, Spanoulis was 4 for 20 from the field and 1 for 16 on 3-pointers during scrimmages. Gives a glimpse on how well he performed in "practice".

    Yeah, Van Gundy was into those motivational signs you see at some workplaces - they are all over the weight room.

    C. Jacobsen's name on a stats sheet just before the playoffs? Hmm, interesting.

    That letter was written sometime between the middle of training camp to the beginning of the season.
