[Chron] Francis faulted with practice technical (due to complaints)

I absolutely LOVE that Adelman is trying to put a stop to the complaints to the officials. Steve was terrible about it when he was here, and some of our other players whine too much also. Just shut up and play.

 

Exactly my sentiment.

Now the question - Is he going to bring his 24 second shot clock dribbling to season form.....

 

I also hate the constant whining about officiating. It's one of my sore spots with the NBA. I don't read much into this article other than the players are having a tough time taking care of the ball. But this is the best time of year to have that problem. It's going to take all season to get the kinks out of the offense. I can't wait for Thursday and Saturday.

 

Now the question - Can you stop your complaining and just look at the glass half full!?

 

HAHA, damn Stevie, it's only practice! I just hope T-Mac and Yao get calls during the real season. On a good note, at least we know Steve isn't the only one with a turnover problem this year. Either that or he brought some turnover curse . Anyways, about the complaining, it is always going to be there. Sometimes refs make the right call, sometimes they don't. And with the whole Ref scandal that went on, you'll probably see more complaining.

 

They're just practicing...technically.

 

looks like your b****ing is already in mid season form

 

I hope to God you're wrong. If Steve is upset then this could be a little setback in our chemistry.

 

Yeah thats a real good note. I mean 20 turnovers per game sure isn't about one player... its a team effort!

 

Agree. It's about everythin, about players' concentration

 

In this offense we will turnover the ball a lot this year. That will be our biggest problem all season long. The players are pretty decent passers but not great decision makers. Even Yao will try to force one now and again. I really can't say I am surprised. We have a bunch of players that are not used to sharing the ball, much less with the thread the needle type passes that will be needed. Still I am not too worried about it because I think we can keep the turnovers down enough to win a lot of games this year. Also, the 40 TO's was the total with both teams involved so look at it as 20/team. Hopefully they played a full 48 min. or hopefully RA was exaggerating a little. That would be one sloppy game.

 

Damn......some of you are already in midseason whining form.

It's NOTHING......We know Steve is competitive. He wants to win.....what's wrong with that?? So freak'n what if he got a tech in practice. Some of you are looking way too deep into this, even going far enough to say there could be beef between Steve and Mac...come on!

Turnovers.....that's all I read and got out of that article. New system, lots of brainless turnovers. I'm glad it's now and hopefully not later.

 

We worry. We want what's best for our Rockets

 

aw dam!...steve gon be ridin the bench...

 

Agreed on Steve, but TOs could be a season long problem for the team. More passes and ball movement mean increased risk of TOs, especially when transitioning a team from the dead fish JVG offense to Adelman's motion offense. Last season it was JVG's constant moaning and groaning about defensive effort. This season it will be Adelman moaning about TOs. Watch. This offense will be a work in progress for 50-60 games before finding itself.

 

And the people that don't see the technical an issue don't? It's nothing.....the turnovers are a issue for this team, but it's expected because it's a NEW team with a NEW system. 40 turnovers committed is a issue and I'm pretty sure that 40 was the total for both teams.

you guys dont like complaining yet thats what a majority do about the coaches complaining about things that lose games for you. why do you want to spin something positive about something that needs to be corrected to win a championship. im glad adelman is tough with these players...stevo in particular
