    I believe he is the sole reason for our mediocrity this year. No way a team with this much talent would be 12-12 and losing to a bunch of scrub team along the way. As long as he's our coach we will continue to play "soft"ball and miss the playoff. Hurry and chant "Fire Rick" at the next game before its too late!

    Look, RA is not a horrible coach, but he just couldn't mold the player into his system, but he can for Sactown b/c of all the good shooters on that team and most of them could pass. He is also super soft, and is rubbing down onto the player's thick skin. Like the saying goes, player will take the mentallity of their coaches and he is too soft and lacks emotion on the bench.

    We have players build for half-court and good D, not run-n-gun motion offense with good passing. We just not atheletic enough for that. Fire Rick and hire Brown from Phili.

    I also would like to mention that I don't want JVG back and I still think we can win the championship with yao/t-mac given the right coach that emphasis a little bit of Defense.

    It ain't Rick out there turning the ball over, and not making shots....

    It ain't Rick abandoning the offense in the entire 2nd half, after having a successful 1st half.

    It ain't Rick.

    You don't fire anyone after 24 games at least let's see of we make it to the playoffs and then you can start your impatient cry. We make it the playoffs I think any seed if we don't mathc up with dallas right away we will be alright.

    It's not Rick's fault. We just don't have the personnel to fit Adelman's system. I think our players are just not versatile enough on offense.

    No **** man, doh.... we ain't blind. His offensive stye is what causing the players to do that. Even yao said he was uncomfortable with RA system.

    24 games and now he needs to be fired.Utah has lost the last 6 games, dallas has been struggling as well.No team is reallly playing that good out west,the suns just lost to the heat.

    I gave JVG 4 years, Rick is only 24 games in......If he doesn't get it done in a year or so, I will be all for jettising him as well.

    But right now, the players are not running the system consistently, whenever the going gets tough, they abandon it....and the results speak for themselves.

    Thats my point. Get in a coach similiar to JVG that does fit the personnel that we have. Why keep the system that doesn't work unless you want to trade away all of our talented players.

    Yao is uncomfortable with losing.Yao is averaging 20 and 10 something he never had done in his entire freakin career.He had 28 14 and 3 in this game.It isn't the style at all it's the personel.Rick's system requires guys to make jump shots and they are not getting that aspect of the game.

    I'm not calling for him to be fired...that would be stupid. He needs at least this season to prove himself. We did start out firing on all cylinders. (And I don't want JVG rehired either)

    At this point, the best concieviable to me, Adelman's ball at best is JVG wannabe, be consistent, if you biatch about JVG, what's the difference right now. How many times we even break 90 points this year. We are dead last in fast breaking.

    This might be true last year but this year? Not so much. How many open shots did we get this game? The biggest problem I would say is putting Yao on the high post.

    Yes, this can open other people to attack the rim!
    but how many of our players can actually attack?

    Yes, this can utilize Yao's passing skill?
    But it has been proved that Yao's court vision is just medicore.

    Yes, Yao has great shooting touch?
    But why not set the low post first? Getting close to basket is always better.

    It's time to admit it, Rick! Putting big man high post doesn't fit Yao's game. He has tried.

    Exactly and they have been struggling,they just have the rockets number and a big reason is the playoffs when the rockets had them down 0-2 going back home and they don't sweep the series.But we are still only 3 games behind dallas and few other teams taht are struggling as well.The jazz have lost 6 games in a row,you are not going to win them all are problem was giving away those games to the sixers,raptors,grizzlies. If win thos games then this loss would be nothing.We still beat the spurs,lakers,nuggets,pistons,suns.

    Where have you been man, under a rock? Yao admits he's not comfortable in the high post of RA system. Its been discussed before..

    I'm impatient b/c the yao/T-mac era window of opportunity is closing and that they have been together for 5 yrs now and t-mac will regress soon if he hasn't already. We don't have time to wait for the system to work or risk bringing in players to see if they fit. we just need a hard as nail coach that brings in tough D.
