Asik would have fit in very well in the Adelman offense as well. He is a very good passer for a big man and Adelman's system utilizes big man's passing ability from the high post. Its a shame we let Adelman go. A damn shame.
The coolest thing is that every year Rick and his son go on vacation during the week when the team that wins the NBA Finals has a parade.. He figures for 45 years he has never won one, so why start now. Often times he joins Don Nelson, Doug Moe and D'Antoni and a good time is had by all.
Portland's record before Adelman's full season: 39-43 Portland's first full season under Adelman: 59-23 +20 wins Golden State's record before Adelman: 26-53 Golden State's first season under Adelman: 36-46 +10 wins Sacramento's record before Adelman: 27-55 Sacramento's first season (shortened) under Adelman: 27-23 Sacramento's first full season under Adelman: 44-38 +17 wins after 2 seasons Houston's record before Adelman: 52-30 Houston's first season under Adelman: 55-27 +3 wins Minnesota's record before Adelman: 17-65 Minnesota's first season (shortened) under Adelman: 26-40 +9 wins with 16 fewer games Adelman never took on a stacked team. Houston was the best team he ever inherited. The teams always improved.
Instead of McHale, whose offense is more PG-friendly, Lin fans would be screaming about replacing Adelman with Pringles.
