    I know being an NBA coach is a touch job and for the most part I haven't complained. I just wish the man would be more responsive to the situations out on the floor. It always seems that by the time he reacts to a big run by the opposing team its already too late.

    Whatever the case, I wish him luck and I hope he proves me wrong.

    Guys we are missing 2 of our best players, there is no way he can win consistently with what we have out there.

    Tonight they were playing 2 on 5 on offense for most of the night.

    Sure they won last night but how often are we going to hit 60% of our 3pt shots?

    This team is just not that good without AB and Yao, and may not be that good with them.....but I can't wait to find that out.

    Since they are going to be out 3 more weeks, I would play the young guys, what do you have to lose?

    I am surprised that I didn't see Chuck on Dirk - seems to me this would be one of the few games that I would be ok with Chuck starting for that purpose

    What! Adelman is at fault a little if not half. You are coached defense rotation, hoW to defend the high pick and roll, transition defense.these things are taught/coached my man. You may not know basketball....adelman needs to take some responsibilty too........IT IS WRITTEN.

    Yup instead of putting our best defender on him he puts a 2nd year player on him in hill & scola TRIED to defend him too.

    Some good coaching.

    I did like hill and miller in together I think that could work with the right matchups.

    when you are losing, every person on the team (player and coaches) are all partially at fault.

    Yes we are losing anyway so no difference except one. The rockets get to develop the young players and we can watch more highlight dunks :)

    You would've been saying the same things if we played the young guys major minutes and sucked it up in that stretch. So you REALLY need to study your BB IQ, or lack thereof.

    I don't blame Adelman at all for this loss...I blame injuries and a really good Mavs team.

    Funny, though...I totally agree about not calling timeouts when our opponents go on runs and refusing to change the lineup when we are getting exploited. He does this all of the time.

    I think he's a great coach and I like him, but that is the one thing that drives me nuts about him.

    Here's some friendly advice to EVERYONE- stop worrying because we are secretly TANKING and if you dont believe it, then you are straight up stupid. I honestly wish we lose game after game, felt that way last night (too bad we luckily won against the thunder) and i got my wish tonight (thank God) cuz everyone has lost hope even coaches and management.

    If you think putting Chuck on Dirk would've changed anything then think again. Dirk is just shooting over people this year. He is playing at MVP caliber level.

    Adelman style has been the same for over 20 years. There is reason his one of the winningest coach in the NBA and now some kid thinks suddenly he doesn't know how to coach an NBA team.

    Don't put words in my mouth I would not gave said that were not goin anywhere this season that's why I want to see the young guys play.

    Were 5-12 we have to at least win 50 games so that means we can only lose 32 and we have already lost 12. So we would have to go 45-20 from here on out.

    I don't see that happening. So maybe study your Basketball knowledge and knowhow many games there r in the NBA and were in the toughest conference.
