    We moved on from JVG, because he couldn't get over a first round playoff loss fast enough? right? at least thats what i know. someone tell me otherwise.

    Well thats exactly the coach i want........this chatter in the loker room wouldn't be happening if we had JVG. everyone fears JVG.

    Mutumbo should have went somewhere else......

    I agree. The coach has a big influence on the game, but ultimately it's up to the players to get the job done. Doc is a great example, because he went from a winning Coach of the Year his first year in Orlando, then suddenly became a horrible coach after that disastrous season where the team started 1-19. And in his first few seasons in Boston, he wasn't exactly called a great coach until last year when he got Garnett and Allen. Coaches can coach all they want, but the players are the ones playing on the court, so they have more control over their path than anyone.

    At least he's gotten to the Finals. At least he's gotten to the conference championship.

    AT LEAST HE'S GOTTEN PAST THE FIRST ROUND.

    Adelman need to be fired, or trade 1 or 2 our big 3, they are hopeless and useless, it's not just 1 or 2 or 3 lost to a bad team, it's 7th time we lost 2 bottom feeders. Come on...what bucks has tonight? they play like a team, compete like a team, and rockets play like !#$!$

    Let's see...

    At this pace...

    Tracy will never win a series.

    So...

    First? Artest or Tracy. (I'd trade Tracy, just because Artest tries)

    Then Rick.

    I don't care..
    Adelman will do nothing for the Rockets.
    Go follow him on his next team, or just go back to watching the Kings..

    While you're at it, take Artest with you

    Probably will wait when the Yao/McGrady experiment is over (and frankly McGrady is more of the problem).

    Besides, firing a coach so quickly will just make getting a good coach a lot harder.

    Who gives two craps if Artest "tries" he's the worst player on the court most of the time (outside of Rafer). All Artest has done is kill chemistry, ball hog, and play no defense..

    1. Artest
    2. Adelman
    2b. McGrady

    How much longer do you think Adelman plans on doing this? Do you really think he has it in him to rebuild a team from scratch? (which is basically what you are doing if you're getting rid of both Yao AND T-mac).

    Adelman was brought in here for one reason... to win NOW.... with those two guys. Nobody expected this to turn into a rebuilding plan... and frankly, Adelman probably wouldn't want to be a part of that anyways.

    Bring back JVG, I'd pay him whatever he wants. Let him name the price.

    They should trade Scola. He deserves to play on a better team than this.

    Never thought I would say this, because I was fed up with JVG and thought we needed a change back then, but we need his defensive principles reinstilled into the team. Fire adelman, hire Avery Johnson who will make our 20 million drama queen like any other player.

    Adelman is the Wade Phillips of Houston, this is the wrong mix for him to coach....

    He needs self starters and Tmac and Ron ain't it.

    No what I meant is that the Rockets will wait before deciding if whether Adelman is right for this team when McGrady is finally gone. I agree that Adelman won't deal with a rebuilding team.
