Pretty sure I watched him never get past round one here... and did he make the playoffs every season? Maybe I missed something... '05-'06? Yep. Pretty sure I know his kind. A blame layer. Very stubborn to not get rookies any playing time. A lotto chooser. How many wins he have again? How many finals did he get to on teams not handed to him in good shape? JVG = take the easy road.
Bigjodaflo summed it all up in his earlier post Yes good call guys. Adelman shouldhave guessed that Deron williams would have missed both of the free throws and stuck a few big guys in so we could run down and tie the game with a 2. If Deron Williams makes the ft we have to make a three. With that much time left its smart to run your play and not call a timeout, not when you're the road team. You dont give the fans and the Jazz tiem to plan. Yout put a bunch of 3 point shooters in and try to score in transition. Adelman played the percentages. It was a good call.
if T-mac comes over and tips the ball away, Deke is not going to get the rebound even if Deke is in the game.
He made too many mistakes. But the most serious one is not giving S.Francis enough time to adapt. He was afraid that SF and Yao together would control the team.
He was obviously hoping for at least 1 miss so that it would still be a one-possession game. It doesn't take 2 seconds to put in your rebounders and pull them out when you call the timeout.
Well Adleman went with the horses that got him that far. Honestly if we hadn't let ourselves get behind by 16 pts we wouldn't be arguing who Adleman put in the game with seconds ticking down.
Yeah,Yeah,Yeah, IF would coulda shoulda made are free throw or not wait for 6 minutes to go by in the 3rd quarter without making 1 field goal or Tracy going 1-1 in the 4th quarter.
