    Questions:

    Has Rudy reached his coaching wall?

    Why can't he control his personel?

    Is rudy too soft?

    Why doesn't Rudy force Mobley and other role players to give the damn ball to YAO?

    For Gods sake he's the only 7-5 guy out there -- give him the ball.

    It's getting ridiculous. Games like tonight reinterate that Rudy sucks as a coach, plain and simple.

    If he's not a role player what is he? Steve and Yao are the franchise players -- everyone else should be playing a role.

    If Rudy wasn't so soft (to put it nicely) Mobley would be our 6th man (aka Vinnie Johnson) -- to bring energy and scoring off the bench. Right now we have no punch off the bench.

    POSEY NEEDS TO START! He would know his role.

    Says who? We should have 5 more wins. He continues to blow it by using Moochie during crunch time. Moochie is too much of a knuckle head to be out their during critical points in the game.

    Well today was screwed because of Yao's fatigue and STUPID REFS!!! That is the main reason. We were all happy yesterday when we came back from 11 at the half. Rudy must have done something. And today we are all pissed at him.


    Why do we take out EG who is doing a terrific job and Steve Francis...our franchise player?


    Rudy is dumb at times...but it's a pretty tough job watching it from the sidelines. We should like call him at halftime and give him advice since we're all experts.

    Says who?? Says moi!! Yesterday, Rudy got the troops refocused after a lackluster first half and they went on to have their best half of the year. And Moochie played great yesterday. Today, we got beat on the road by a playoff team in a back-to-back. Why? Because our shots didin't fall like they did yesterday and they fell for the Wolves. You could have John Wooden out there and if that happens, we still lose.

    Der-Rock says, "KNOW YOUR ROLE,"

    And for Cat...it's a starter who plays 35-40 minutes a night...not some spark plug who plays 20-25 minutes.

    Sometimes I think Rudy has no clue what he's doing

    1. He continues to let his guards take a tremendous amount of outside jumpshots with hands to the face.

    2. He doesnt play James Posey who is a legitimate NBA player in favor of Terrence Morris who serves no purpose- Jack Haley::Dennis Rodman, T Morris::Steve Francis

    .... meanwhile K Thomas is making contributions (to the Philadelphia 76ers you can do that if you see the court) ....

    3. The lineup of Cato, Mo T, T Morris, and Moochie Norris couldnt score if they were guarded by the Gilligan Island Cast.

    4. We continue to let opposing teams utilize their best players without double teams (hmm...hint, double Garnett, double J. oNeal.... hint double - or even just guard G. Robinson)

    I don't quite understand this either. I hope this isn't some Van Gundy-Checketts-Camby scenario and Rudy puts Posey in his dog house because he didn't like the trade.

    Why wouldn't Posey like this trade? From a lottery team to a playoff team, and title contender from next year on?

    Here is the quote from Chron.

    "I'm excited," he said. "It all came as a surprise to me, but I'm really looking forward to it. I already know a lot of the guys there, so that part (getting adjusted) will be easier. The Rockets are making some good moves, and I think they're moving in the right direction.

    "But I wasn't expecting this at all. I was halfway to the arena (Denver's Pepsi Center) when I talked to my agent (Mark Bartelstein), and he told me to turn around and go back home. And that's what I did."

    He's talking about Rudy not liking the trade, which I doubt - or hopefully doubt.

    I am soooo tired of people hating on Rudy so much...some of ya'll dont give him the credit who most DEFINITELY deserves. The guy has given us two championships and has helped to rebuild this team in only 3 years while the Bulls, Warriors, Clippers, etc are still in developmental hell! Do ya'll honestly think that what you see him do in a game is all he does as a coach?! There is a hell of a lot more to what he does and what he puts into this team than what you see on the surface. People we are 15-11, that's about right where I expected us to be right now. Sometimes, sure, I question what he does. But I have learned these past three years especially, to just trust him...there is a method to his madness and it does work. I HIGHLY doubt any of you could do as remotely a good as coaching job as him. So enough is enough.

    And honestly, why get worked up after just 2 freakin games because Posey isnt getting significant minutes yet. What on earth were you expecting. Heck, i'm just suprised the guy has played at all! Gotta stop worrying, he WILL get his minutes.

    rudy coaches by screaming at the refs. for some reason every time his players make a bone-headed play rudy always thinks it's the refs fault. like when steve decides to take it to the basket with 4 defenders waiting underneath the basket. instead of giving steve an earful, he'll just turn to the refs and chew them out instead. he must think this will somehow affect the players. :rolleyes: :confused:
