Congratulations to coach Adelman for successfully bringing the team together after the NBA trade deadline drama, the loss of She-Mac and the circumstances around it, and most of all for not picking up a chair and smashing it over Artest's thick head for not getting the rock into Yao enough and for being SO DAMNED SELFISH and playing his OWN game during many stretches of games in which he thinks he's freaking MJ or something. Just putting UP with Artest without going OFF on him should also get him a Nobel Peace Prize as well...and I know Artest gives us toughness and brings it every night but the DUMB shots, too much dribbling, and driving the lane totally out of control many times would turn me into an alkie. GREAT JOB COACH. YOU DESERVE IT.
.....all that and then he drains 2 or 3 three pointers in a row would drive me crazy (the upredictable highs and lows of his game is like being on a sick rollercoaster ride with bizarrely emotionally unstable girlfriend that you're in love with but she makes you physically ill with her mood swings)
Obviously he has done a great job this season but i think he can improve on some things like when to use timeouts. It's a game of runs and Adelman has to be more effective with timeouts. Phil Jackson is great with this. For example, he waited to call a timeout until we went down 6 after we were up 7 (Suns game). That's a 13-0 run which could have been stopped earlier imo. Then he chose to leave Lowry in the game, but soon after had AB at the scorer's table. This was kinda weird to me. Hopefully these minor issues can be corrected before playoff time.
Yeah you are probably right, especially with them most likely finishing with the best record in the NBA. Bron will get MVP too.
Coach of the Month? Nice, but RA deserves Coach of the Year...look at what he has had to deal with all season and we are still contending for home court advantage. He has really impressed me this season
Okay, a simple "wrong" would've done just fine. As for RA, I've done my fair share of venting my frustrations about his coaching , but I still commend him for putting together a good team this season. I just hope he can work out the issues in his coaching (rotation & timeouts when needed) when the playoffs roll around.
I would do a better job than Rick if you gave me millions of dollars and a perfect squad like the one the rockets have. Our team has the best squad since dream retired and deserves the leading place in SW, our team should have become a second force in west that can threat the lakers and contend the first place. Rick has overused T-Mac badly and finally wasted him as a result. Rick is a good coach, he is better than Rick Carlisle at least, but he is still far from what a COY should be.
