BREAKING: Rick Adelman is out as Houston Rockets coach

I actually saw this coming from a while away. And those who say Brad Stevens should be the replacement, knock it off. His team put up the worst shooting performance in NCAA Final History.

Besides, I much prefer an assistant that has had years of experience in the NBA. I'm actually a bit excited in the change of scenery. Rick Adelman was sort of old, so I doubt he would have been around here much longer.

 

I am deeply concerned about the loss of Jack Sikma. This is going to be devastating.

 

4 other games, but that team wasn't devoid of talent either way.

As Phil Jackson said. "Give them some F'n Credit!"

Much more talented than the current team. Although saying Brooks was your starting PG and Wafer was a back up guard...at the time sounds silly. But then those guys were playing great.

Any ways the rest of the games the Lakers started to front Yao (his one kryptonite) and really Yao going out presented new problems for Phil. Rick would have still tried the same mess had Yao stayed healthy, Rick is always getting out coached by Phil. Especially in late game situations.

Still though he's a great coach. The only reason this move was made because the Rockets want to go in a new direction and maybe it was also a financial decision(I really hope not...). May work out brilliantly or may fail completely.

 

Stick that **** where the sun don't shine. The Rockets have been my team since they drafted Elvin Hayes. We simply have a dumb ass for an owner and a weak sister for a GM. Morey, you've covered yourself with glory, sucking up to Less. May you choke on it.

 

The Curse of Calvin Murphy lives!!!

 

Wow! Are we going to get JVG back again??

 

Not sure why you are throwing Morey under the bus here.

This is clearly on the owner.

What Les wants, Les gets.

 

Damn Rick.

 

Great post. I'm also a long time fan, and I've seen a lot of bad, bad coaches. Like, pull your fingernails out with your teeth bad.

REEKO doesn't care about a bad coach because it won't affect his viewing experience of the Rockets one bit. He probably just likes Clutch the Bear and the commercials anyway.

 

Did Morey make a public statement of support for Rick Adelman? Did I miss it?

 

No, he didn't. no worries:grin:

 

You are pulling a modern day DD on this thread.

 

No, he's just being an ass.

 

REEK-O'-TOO-MUCH-HIPPIE-LETTUCE makes DaDakota look like Richard Feynman.

 

I wish I could e-slap folks...lmfao @ that logic.

 

we were 25-16 the 2nd half of the season... 50-32 pace

early injuries and rotation adjustments to those injuries along with a tough schedule led to a rough start. aaron brooks return from injury play hindered us even more.

I'm really not convinced that letting rick walk means we are going to "tank" next year. With the possibility of D williams, D howard and C paul all being moved next season I think we are going to once again do all we can to try to land one of these guys at the trade deadline. Les and Morey most likely want rick to showcase the younger guys during the 1st half of next year and rick doesn't want any part of it. This to me has to be the only legit reason there can be for letting him go.

Can't really blame either side if you ask me. I don't see why rick would want to waste his probable last coaching years riding on the hope of landing an elite guy via trade.

Morey on the other hand probably realizes this is his last chance at getting a star through trade and if they fail to do so during the upcoming season will probably do what so many people on here are clamoring for and trade away all our older assets at the trade deadline for 2012 picks and younger guys.

 

Modern day DD and ass is synonymous.

All there is to it is pissing everyone off by excessively posting the same thing over and over again. Except this time with modern colloquial and annoying meme.

 

Adelman got more out of this team than anyone expected especially over the last two years with all the drama and injuries. A record of 193-135 with two playoff appearances is not bad at all considering the problems he faced -- I really think this is a poor decision especially if Rick [100%] wanted to return.
