thankfully we have rick

Rick sucks at making adjustments. He sucks at making plays. Who in their right mind would make a play for Battier thats not a set shot? Who in their right mind would create a play for a 5-8 100 pound PG to drive in the paint when everyone knows they wont get a foul call. I think one of his biggest problems is he sucks at getting players to be accountable for their mistakes. JVG would not be afraid to get in a players face to tell them what he did wrong.

It also looks like we have the wrong coach or wrong group of players. Like people have mentioned this team plays a lot better when they are underdogs. No this is a knee jerk reaction from these few games cause this has gone on for a few seasons. Either change the coach to get them to play up to expectations or slowly get new players.

 

Can I be an assistant coach?

 

at least coaches don't get injured...


touch wood

 

The OP was kidding, right?

 

hope u rite, but kinda doubt it

srsly he's not BAD, n really thers no1 better out ther, but his substitutions, line-ups, and refusal 2 call A TIME-OUT leaves me pulling my hair out in frustration some-times

 

All I know is RA should have told Ish not to take any ill-advised floaters on the Ish-Scola P&R's in crunch time. That is what killed us... Ish should have dished to Scola for a jumper at least for the higher percentage shot.

 

I feel like we avoided these last year. But I don't know. I was doing my best to avoid the GARM as it was. But the Denniscd threads are back... not gonna lie, for whatever odd reason they piss me off like no other. I feel like Adelman's son (whats his name) is making the posts. Annoying as hell. Just don't make em. Go do something else. Like I like to say. I was here before Adelman, I'll be here after Adelman. I don't really need to see an Adelman slurp thread after every loss. Find something better to do.

 

RA is a great coach but he needs to unleash Hill. I am tired of seeing Chuck play center and Jordan either can play or can't...time to find out. When Dampier gets here, please play Jordan at PF.

 

Exactly. I wish ppl would watch the game closely before talking. They were staying home to Scola and giving Ish the wide open lane b/c they have the scouting report on him.

 

There isn't a coach the league that would willingly "unleash" Hill. Seeing what he does out there on the court... he's a coaches nightmare. If JVG was coaching Hill wouldn't log a single minute. We aren't a rebuilding team with nothing to lose. We have high expectations. Can't sit around and let Hill grow at the expense of winning. For a coach; the expense of sanity.

 

Hill is part of this team and started this game, if he is a liability then why start him ahead of Miller or even Hayes. He then goes on to perform quite well only to not see the floor for most of the 2nd half. I'd understand your theory if it wasn't fairly obvious the kid can help right now, we need the help.

 

All I will say is Adelman has yet to field a team where his main players were completely healthy

 

Hill looked pretty good tonight, Played solid D on Timmy in the first half. Hill's not lighting the world on fire but contributing nicely. I think he's starting to get it, playing with much more intensity.

 

Adelman = 902 wins

I will take the latter. Sorry DD...

 

Which is fine. What he got was fine. This "unleashing" business - that's a little much. What we let him do now is fine.

 

I'm sure as rational beings the rick haters won't jump on the bandwagon if the rockets do well later in the season. Oh wait.

 

When denniscd makes these threads, it's usually a sign the Rockets are struggling pretty badly.

 

I don't think we can blame it on Rick for the 4th quarter chaos. I truly believe the gameplan has covered it all, including the 4th quarter. The rockets just don't have that quality player to execute the plan. So the reality is we are going to keep losing close games, unless a big trade is coming.

 

haha...seriously.

no actually...seriously, are you my girlfriend hacking into denniscd's account as a joke? STOP IT. you are going to get me banned again.

 

Tell that to New Orleans. New coach, perfect record. Not saying that RA is a bad coach but statements like this indicate rationalization of a bad situation which happens all too much around here (DD comes to mind).
