Whats wrong with Rick Adelman?

Sorry? Did Lowry ask to be taken out and RA said no? I would think its up to Lowry to decide if hes right to stay or go.

 

I don't know where you got that assumption about Yao from. His injury was a long time coming (as were all his injuries). A few extra minutes on the court was not going to do anything.

 

well most players would be like no im fine. you dont go to the locker room for everything...sometimes the pain could be gone like really fast with nothing happening later...

 

Yao's injuries were there, before Adelman even interviewed with Morey and Les.

 

Adelman doesn't care his career is on the line also ,he needs a win he's desperate.

 

He just got an extention

 

Maybe Adelman is an evil evil man. Or maybe he has been reading clutchfans threads suggesting that we tank for the rest of the year, and he thought it would help us lose if he left him in the game. Or maybe he just didn't think it was very serious. Where was the trainer anyway, aren't they supposed to run out there and ask the player if they are OK. It really didn't look all that bad to me.

 

You absolutely cannot blame these recent string of losses on the coach. Actually, that's the pet peeve I have with the NBA. You have a team with little talent that piles on a string of losses which were to be expected. Then you go ahead and fire the coach? This is kinda like the blame Tracy/Kobe/LeBron/Howard stuff I saw going around the league last. You can't put the blame on one player, coach, or etc. That's just plain wrong.

 

Don't get me started on Rick's rotation minutes for players he relies on......ughhh his Rotation minutes with Yao were horrible. This year its Ariza........

 

Have to disagree with you there I'm not saying Rick is at the only reason we're losing but it seems the more the team struggles the more he won't make changes or trust other players. It has become like watching JVG play a set rotation even with only 4 guys scoring in a playoff game.

 

Congratulations, your thread has been nominated for the prestigious award of "Worst Thread of the Month."

We hope that you can attend the ceremony so that you may accept your trophy.

 

Lowry played great after the injury anyway. There wasn't any indication it was serious until he slowed down and it must've tightened up.

 

Sometimes its the job of the coaching staff to protect players from themselves.

 

I give you he does put too many minutes on the starting five and two or three others off the bench. Although for this Lowry issue, while he got off limping, Lowry seemed fine enough just before his free throws on the play he got injured. After that, Lowry tried to soldier on, you can't really blame the coach, some guys take a fall are hurt for a second and come out just fine and others injure their knees. Unless the player comes to you and says such, you can't tell and it wouldn't due to just pull him.

 

Seriously, this is just stupid. The guy goes down and comes up hobbling; I've little doubt that he told the coaching staff that he was fine. It's not like they can do any extensive diagnosis there on the court, so they have to go with what the player tells them.

Kyle Lowry thought he could play through it, played a few more minutes (and played quite well, I might add), then found out he was wrong and left the game. There's no "blame" to be assigned to anyone for anything, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just being foolish.

Thread is

 

Also, I'm going to go ahead and nominate this as an early candidate for "Worst Post of the Year."

 

Why blame Adelman these injuries are sometimes just tweaking a muscle and can loosen up after running a bit just at Yao last playoffs when he went down in game one, he was crying in pain and after 2 or 3 minutes he was back in the game
