Adelman unhappy with back-to-backs

gotta play the cards you are dealt.
But i agree that schedule is ridiculous.

 

And then people complain when we win 22 late in the year.

 

Difficult schedule now should set up for easy schedule down the stretch with the youngsters having valuable experience. That being said what's up with the back to backs?

 

The whole "playing only really good teams in the first half of the season" thing is fine with me, given that the schedule will eventually even itself out, but these back to backs are awful. David Stern is a tool.

 

Thats really putting a awful lot of stress on the player's bodies. Someone is going to get seriously hurt one of these days...

 

dude thats terrible i've never seen a team play 4 straight b2b sets even if there is a break between the sets


seriously if the rockets somehow make it out of december with a .500 or above I would be amazed

 

It's gotta be tough mentally too. Imagine how you would feel at your job with that kind of schedule during the holidays. And like Adelman mentioned, no time to even practice. I am more concerned with everyone staying tuned-in during that stretch, including the staff.

 

Objective 1: Stay in the top 8 during this brutal schedule until January 1 (when it begins to alleviate).

Objective 2: Begin home court advantage push in the second half of the season during the much easier schedule.

Objective 3: Win in the playoffs!

Tough.

 

I just hope they don't get an injury because they are to tired and get careless!

If they come out of December not more then 4 games under 500 we will be good.

 

So we're going to have 9 back-to-backs in the season by the end of December?

Do most teams even have that many through the ENTIRE season?

 

he's gotta a point. 4 straight back to backs? that's nonsense.

I guess they arranged schedule to satisfy every other teams first, and lastly fill the rockets in whatever.

 

This is really ridiculous and which team in the league have a tougher schedule than we have right now, I mean 9 back-to-backs in December? What were the NBA schedule makers thinking?

They must really want our Rocket to tank this year following the news that our two superstars, well at least one in Yao won't show his appearance on the court this season.

 

What isn't Adelman happy with?

He seems to be unhappy about everything. Bitter man indeed.

 

so what's your other moniker?

 

I bet you were happy when JVG was coach since he let McGrady do whatever he wanted but in reality, he was the more bitter coach overall(disregarding his treatment of Mac, which wasn't bitter at all).

 

Basically, Stern Corleone saw the Rockets as belly-up with no Tmac, no Yao.

So, to help pad the records for younger, "more exciting" teams (OKC, Portland) and give them a chance for the playoffs, the Rockets are given a schedule tantamount to fresh-meat prison-rape and no national TV.

 

i don't have another moniker.
you are right. i do miss JVG.

 

I think he's unhappy because ultimately he's going to HAVE to play Mcgrady during this rough stretch.

 

OK, I am being a conspiracy theorist now, but I do wonder if the leauge is setting up easier early schedule for teams like Lakers and Celtics to get them some early good publicity and momentum. I doubt they intentionally try to screw the Rockets, but if some teams have easy early schedules, others have to fill the void for the difficult ones.
