D He has been horrible in his rotations, playing too many one sided rotations. Like tonight he starts the 4th quarter playing 3 on 5 on offense and boom they lose the lead. Wooops... And he overplays guys.....way overplays them.....just bad overall..... I think Rick has too many players....and he plays guys he trusts that are one dimensional far too much. DD
F in the 2nd quarter when the rockets turned it over 3 times in a row... he still didn't call time out... then surprise... 4th turnover.
C. He hasn't been great this season. He's been very obstinate with playing the younger players, this season. He keeps holding back Hill and Jermaine Taylor. He thinks Kevin Martin at 40+ minutes is better than Martin at 32-35 minutes and JT with 10-15 minutes.
D-. He's been horrible at substitution. He's the damn coach, he should know which playes gel together and which ones doesn't. Only reason I haven't gave him an F is because of injuries.
Lowry/Lee/Battier/Hayes/Miller I think was the lineup... Terrible coaching decision. Allowed the Bulls to go on a 13-0 run I believe. Blew the game.
B .. giving him a pass because we have (had) a glass door playing at C .. also we had the ankle gods against us.
- Questionable substitution patterns - Not calling timeouts when the team is really struggling Grade: C
I give him an F-- and Morey a D for getting the players he wanted! Coach A is even WORSE than last year and everyone here knows about last year...
I have no problem giving him an F. The only time it appears he uses a good rotation is when the other team has a great pf and chuck saves his ass. His doesn't adjust to the game, he plays our good players too long, and doesn't develop the talent we have, because lets face it we are not winning now, so if the old talent doesn't help us win, there is no point in playing it
Adelman....down by 3 with 22 secs to go and have 16 to shoot...why foul? Why not try to defend and hope for a miss and then try to tie the game??? Just dumb strategy. This is why Phil Jackson is ALWAYS better than Rick Adelman!! Also why the hell you want to put a bunch of defensive players in the lineup that can't generate any offense? It wasn't like we're having huge lead. This is just stupid. Why play Lowry excessive minutes and not Scola...this team need him to generate any offense. Also Martin is a p***y when under pressure. When the team need to score...he just pass the ball around like he doesn't want to be responsible for this mess!! He needs to step it up and play like he want to win. This team don't have much scoring option especially when dumb Adelman chose to put defensive lineup in the game. Courtney Lee suck bad so far..it looks like the Ariza trade is bad!! And Ishmail...pls learn to fake pass the damm ball!! Oh and Battier?? Pls don't do things that you're not good at!! Stop driving to the basket...you're not athletic to do these things...play within your game!! And the damm refs...i thought you can only review reply with the last 2 mins of each half?? They can even review whenever the hell they want as long as it's break?? OMG...this messed up the flow of the game....this is so r****d...we literally lost crucial points because of the damm refs.
F Even with the injuries, Adelman's decisions and rotations have been costly and have not given the team the best chance to win.
Seriously, just look at who do we have out there. Our best player is Scola, who is very very good, but doesn't scare anybody like an allstar. I think it is pretty amazing Rick got us 2 wins w/o two of premium players.
C- I'll cut him slack because of the all the pieces he has had to incorporate but he has made some awful substitutions at the wrong times. I am starting to wonder if this team is made for a coach like Rick, to early but starting to get that feel.
With the team depth we have, we ought to have a better record and better at closing out games. I keep saying we have the players to make games close every time; it's our lack of endgame strategy that's doing us in. Morey, please help ... do something about the coaching
