We need a new coach. This is not "knee-jerk" We need a new head coach, and if you don't think so you're off the deep end. You can call me an Adelman hater, but he's doing a terrible job as head coach. Hill and Ish are keeping us in the game. What does Adelman do? He subs them out. Similar things have been happening all season long. It's time for Rick the ruler to gtfo. So much for our season being full of rainbows and butterflies starting now... Spoiler Fire Rick
Couldn't agree more... RA if your reading this... please gtfo of Houston. You can't seem to realize that this team has 0 defense, yet you send them out there with a one way approach, and that's on offense. You suck RA.
I think Rick is doing a poor job. However, who is out there who is willing to take the Houston job and is available? I can't think of any that candidate is better than Adelman, despite my disappointment in Adelman's performance.
When the starters left, we were tied. When the bench left, we were tied. The bench may have been "keeping us in the game", but the starters were doing the same exact thing. Of course, as soon as the starters come in and the Suns get hot, all of a sudden everyone is saying "OMG, WHAT A DUMB COACH, WHY NOT LEAVE THE BENCH IN?" And if he would have left the bench in, everyone would be saying, "OMG, WHAT A DUMB COACH, WHY NOT BRING THE STARTERS BACK IN?" He can't win...
yeah, if anyone is watching the suns telecast, they said Adelman said he was going to give those guys who were struggling more minutes to "prove they deserve it" or something like that...i hadnt read that, but doesn't sound like a great strategy.
Adelman is not a good coach this year at all. Can sub right, can make a decent play outof a time out. Late to adjust or call time outs. To loyal to the veterans. No fire, no sens of urgency. Painful.
How about leaving the one who are playing well. How about calling time out and bringing something different.
But then people will be complaining about another repeat of the Raptors game where Lowry and Martin got tired because they were left in the game for long stretches.
The problem is you can't label players into just "starters" or just "bench". These guys aren't 2 ****ing groups, they are individual players. Ish, Hill and Scola are all working tonight. Lee is so-so. Bud and Battier are playing like crap. Take out the ones who are playing like crap, put in the ones who playing well and ****ing try other guys: Ish Lee Jeffries Scola Hill ^This would have been a good lineup to try. Every perimeter player were firing blanks but Lee and Ish were active the time they were on the court. Jeffries and Hill provide a semblance of a Defence, Scola and Hill's shots were falling. WTF is this so hard to do? Can't win because RA doesn't want to mix up his rotation.
Morey needs to sit down with Aldeman, and try to work out a buyout of his remaining contract. I wonder how much the players are still responding to Aldeman.
They were about to go into half time, couldn't Hill get his rest then? And hill has only been playing for 7 mins and 8 secs, not exactly grounds for getting tired.
Ah, the old Internet arguing methodologies. Step 1: Make sure to clarify that the post is not something that it really is. This way, no one can say that it is! Step 2: If anyone disagrees with you, they're obviously crazy and you should pre-emptively label them as such. Step 3: Use anecdotal evidence to support your claim and attempt to vapidly extrapolate said evidence. It's a 3-step process to Internet victory!
agreed! at least it's time to seriously take a look at the coaching situation. I thought RA didn't know how to coach defense. Now it seems that he's lost on offensive end too. He seems to have no clue except for "we have to step up" kind of BS.
I thought you were done with this team? I thought you were moving on to the heat? Please, go back to that plan...
