Kobe was on tonight the only chance we had was if ron went psyco on kobe and put him out of the game. We need stop force feeding yao. It almost cost us the dallas and portland game. And it cost us against the lakers and bulls.
This is not about not having a go-to-guy or Artest playing me-ball. This is about Rick Adelman refusing to enforce team ball. This is about Rick Adelman refusing to take Artest out of the game even though it was crystal clear that he was a detriment to the team. This loss is on the coach, pure and simple.
Awful, just awful. Shane needs to tan...has no shot what so ever. Yao needs to get a jack hammer and get his feet out of that cement. Holy crap the dude is like a tree! Yao needs to learn how to seal his man off, so he can recieve a pass. Artest needs to realize he is no Kobe....or even TMAC in that matter. Von Wafer seems to be our only guy doing anything in the 4th quarter lately.
1. Coach should've kept the 2nd unit for longer 2. Let Wafer start over Battier next game 3. Yao needs to learn how to catch a ball, he looks like a 2 yr old trying to catch something. Such an idiot. 4. Artest shouldn't jack up shots if they're not falling, even Wafer learnt faster.
It was everyone's fault this game. stupid shots, way too many TO's, and Rick Adelman with snail mode substitutions. and yes.. even the refs.. they were too inconsistent.
I have a question for Rick Adelman Does he even care about rebounds? This team looks like one of the worst defensive rebounding teams in the league, and we have enough talented rebounders to get them. It makes me wonder not only if we rebound, but if we even practice.
Luckily Utah lost tonight too. We need to execute against Charlotte and play hard against the Spurs. We need all the wins we can get.
Coach Idelman's head is slower than Yao Ming. With him, no much hope really. With such a tight and competitive game in the west, you can't afford to have stupid errors in the coach.
Thats how I feel. If he hadnt jack up so many shots and instead focus on Kobe and prvent him form having a 37 pt night we would have won regardless of the bad play. Kobe single handedly beat us.
Even scarier is that the coach doesn't know the limits of ANY of his players. Adelman will keep running the same guys into the ground until the bitter end no matter how piss poorly they are playing.
Man that was BS how they did us. The game was TIED and they called Ron for a foul for trying to feel for a PICK. COMPLETE BS. I don't give a crap how bad we played, that crap was the game. Especially since they then let Pau use two more moving screens to get their six point lead. You try to beleive the NBA is not fixed...you really try but nights like this...where Kobe elbows Ron in the face and is allowed to stay in the game, nights like this make you doubt.
And before anyone goes with the "he is double teamed every time" theory, he was single covered during the 4th and failed to score on walton TWICE!!
Artest tries to be the hero in the 4th and pretty much sealed the Rocket's chances of winning the game.
We just lost to a better team. In the playoffs when their best player is Kobe, CP3, Deron, Roy, etc. and our best options are Yao Ming and Ron Artest, we are going to get killed...big time.
