I honestly don't think it was the players this game. Every one came to ball. It's just that the wrong people were chosen.....I blame rick.
Rick Adelman is coaching horribly this season. His obsession w/ Chuck Hayes and Shane Battier is embarassing. Chuck and Shane should never be on the court at the same tim.e
Y do hell is he playin chuck we need tall guys in there damn Rick how many game we gonna lose cause we dont have size down low n cause we get a damn rebound
I love Chuck but he should be the last option at the Center spot...Yao, Miller, Hill, Scola, JJ, Patterson, Lowry.............then Chuck
just like not playing him vs the Warriors.....I swear if Chuck Hayes starts in Indiana vs Roy Hibbert ima buy lower bowl tickets and have a huge sign sayin FIRE RICK im serious
Nothing against Hayes and I know how much the board loves scrappy, hard working players who don't have much skill, but he should be a situational player at most. In my opinion, the Rockets should not have picked up the team option on his contract...unless it was done to include him in a larger trade as an expiring contract.
situational player is what he is...he only got big mins last year bc of Yao now he is coming off the bench like he is the 6th man...Rick needs to see that he isnt the answer at back up center
this franchise has been obsessed with chuck for years now. IMO it all comes down to an integrity issue, Chuck held us down last year with yao out and now we pay him back by keeping him on the team when we have no use for him. In the time Jordan Hill was in he grabbed 3 boards and used height to finish in the paint. As Jordan Hill grows and since we are stuck with Brad, there is no room for chuck, especially if he continues to make mistakes offensively
Time for Morey to take action. It seems the only way to keep Adelman from putting Chuck Hayes at Center is to eliminate that option completely.
