What is going through Rick Adelman's mind right now?

I should have listened to that nerd.

 

As an aside, maybe McHale was the tipping point in having Howard come over. McHale is a player's coach that knows how to have fun and joke -- the players seem to love him, and Howard loves having fun and a coach that he enjoys spending time with. Just read his comments about Hakeem.

But more importantly, McHale is a legend in the post. I swear I read somewhere that Howard said McHale was a big reason, someone who would know how to use him in the low block and how to improve his game.

 

"I should have had a V8"

 

Bo Knows

 

honestly, probably..' i'm getting too old for this shh"

 

I have a feeling this roster would be quite different if Rick were still here...

 

At the end of the day, Morey was absolutely correct and Rick was wrong. I stopped doubting the lovable chubby nerd a couple of years ago. He had a grand plan that very few people saw it coming. Farking MIT grad.

 

I was just thinking about this the other day, lol. I honestly think that Adelman is the second best coach in the league, behind Popovich.

I don't know if Mchale is the right coach for this team heading forward. He's on his last year of his contract. If it were me, I would find a way to get Adelman to resign with the rockets. He plays to his player's strengths and gets the most out of them.

We need Adelman or a coach of his caliber to make this team a serious contender. Does anyone know when his contract expires?

 

hardly the Roster would be what it is - Daryl for better or worse didnt really take into account what the coach wanted - he traded Shane Battier away during the middle of a potential playoff push, traded away Adelman's fav in Brooks.

Traded away Patterson and Morris.

So the Roster would be the same more or less


Now I dont think Rick minds - he wanted to coach stars - it didnt happen here with Tracy and Yao being hurt. It could have happened now with Harden and Howard but he has Rubio and Love up there and so I am sure he isnt too upset

 

Dwight came to play under McHale, and I think he will for the long haul

 

Adelman's thinking, "Kevin Martin... Hell yeah!"

 

If I recall correctly, Rick Adelman actually wanted to stay with the Rockets but the Rockets let him go stating that he didn't fit in with the direction the team is heading. Nothing was under his control.

 

You might be a bit off the track.

Morey claimed he had to talk Les out of firing Adelman before the start of his last season here.

There had been rumors Les had tried to fire Adelman even earlier than that and disliked like him on a personal level for some unknown reason. It was kind of similiar to what happened to JVG.

 

lol, Adelman is a much better coach than you thought. BTW, where is the chance on the title?

 

The Wolves are going to be awesome this year... Best kept secret...

 

A bullet?

 

Slow down.

 

Perhaps what to have for lunch.

 

Another useless thread. Adelman didn't want to leave,morey forced him out trying to name his successor.He went out like a man and when he's finished,he's going to the hall of fame. Imagine what this team would've looked like if that bad trade would've went through. Morey did agreat job getting Harden,asik,and howard and a poor miscalculated move of signing Lin.In the end,I don't need to hear try hard,just get it done and he did.
