    Jeff did not receive the respect which should belong to him. Now we realize Adelman is a mistake to Rockets. What we can conclude the 6-1 starting is just slammed lucky and the contribution for this new season from Adelman is NONE!

    We need JVG back and for Adelman, there will be a vacancy at ESPN for him.


    Please make intelligent arguments below.

    What we can conclude is nothing.

    The Rockets were .500 or so going into January in Tracy's first year with the Rockets. They ended up winning 50 games.

    We've got a bunch of new players, a new coach, and a new offense. Its not going to jell overnight.

    Adelman's a great coach, but I think with all the stars now we could really use a guy like RUDY T.

    Adelman has done an ok job. I just have not been impressed with his lineups and rotation. He is playing Yao to much and some others not enough. Bonzi is a Spur killer and he did not play at all in the 4th tonight. I just can't see how Francis has not played at all considering TMAC is out. Our bench looks great, I just don't think Adelaman is managing playng team well at all.

    My only concern on JVG is his stubbornness on not changing game plan to counter opponent plan.

    We could use another 40 games before we see how these "stars" play together.

    The only thing that bothers me is that RA pretty much has his rotation set in stone after 3 weeks of preseason games and practice even though he has no history with any of these guys except for Bonzi.

    Nothing's set in stone. We're not even 3 weeks into the season, for pete's sake. He's just giving his initial rotation a chance to gel. It's a long, long season. There's plenty of time for adjustments.

    This was so predictable. Unless he loses control of the team (which will NOT happen), I'll give Adelman a free pass for a while because it takes time. It's only been 10 games.

    We will make intelligent arguments on threads where the initial post is actually intelligent.

    We need rudy. I never thought they should have fired him. Remember he won 45 games with steve, cuttino, and an old hakeem. That one season made realize he was a great coach.
