Well you can say he finally learned the lesson by playing chuck on dirk the whole 4th quarter. But what if the game got close and we lose a close one? Would you still be so happy about Adelman's decision to keep playing Scola on Dirk in the 3rd? You cannot just look at the end result and say that Adelman made the right choice. You have to look at probabilities and the decision making that will yield the best chance for us.
Listen man, I have all the respect for you based on your past postings, the yoyo. But just because Adelman made the right decision in the forth quarter doesn't negate the fact that he made the wrong decision in the 3rd. Yes, we do not have shane right now, which makes us less versatile than we can be. But we still have chuck and ron who are very capable defenders on Dirk. How can justify adelman leaving scola on dirk for over 7 minutes?
So, because Kobe can most likely scorch T-mac one on one we should sit him the whole game? Luis isn't in there for his lock down defense. Dirk is a great offensive player, Chuck played awesome tonight on defense, and Ron saved us on O down the stretch along with Brooks. T-mac you owe Ron a game! You need to win a game for us, when Artest is having an off night. Ron call him on it! He owes you a game!
so you're blaming adelman for making a mistake he did not make? the first "fire adelman" post last season came after the second game. the complaints against adelman came earlier this year. maybe the rockets slogan this season should've been... <object width="340" height="275"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rg1iEBWxVeQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Rg1iEBWxVeQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="275"></embed></object>
