I doubt there is any difference in the Bonzi and SF situations. The difference on the forum is there is a hard-core segment of JVG haters who would blame him for anything regardless of logic and facts. That doesn't exist (yet) for Adelman.
JVG STARTED Novak for the first game. We all saw his inABILITY to play defense and that experiment was over. Bonzi was MIA for the beginning of last season in the club then he came back only to get his root canal, and JVG STILL gave him minutes. He was so fat that his game was gone. Bonzi is awesome this year because he is jumping to put in layups and to snatch rebounds. VSPAN was described as a "turnover machine" by JVG. Still got minutes. Still got a chance.
<br> yeah he's worse than we originally though <br> is that even possible for rafer to be worse when he's already the worst
Adelman threw Snyder in there for a few minutes to guard Kobe. What a disaster that turned out to be. So if SNYDER gets to play in a crucial game, how come Francis is sitting out??? Are you saying that Snyder is better than Francis??? I still remember a few years back, Stevie single handedly torched the Lakers and Kobe. He may not be that person, but he is a lot better than Snyder. Come on, it has already gotten beyond the point of logic and reason for our coach/management to keep on sitting Stevie out. And stop saying "he'll get his chance." There were opportunities so far this season, and he wasn't put in. What's next? Giving Brooks and Landry playing time and continue to sit Stevie out??? Something definitely pissed Adelman off about Stevie. It's in the doghouse big time.
The difference between JVG and Adleman is that JVG put his guy out there to show the world how much he sucked and then benched them forever. Adleman doesn't even do that much and benches the guy without proof of their suckiness.
The question is what are Morey and Les Alexander thinking. Clearly Francis is one of Morey's favorites. The second part of this question is what will Morey and Alexander do about it.
I said it last night and I'll say it again...some of you people need to realize one damn thing.... The only thing keeping Stevie from seeing the court is STEVIE. Jeez, when will some of you start to understand this?! STEVE came into camp out of game shape. STEVE came into camp expecting to start. STEVE approached the pre-season with a relatively lackluster attitude. STEVE looked lost on the floor when he did play. STEVE took the news that he was out of the rotation negatively. STEVE pouted his way to the bench. And STEVE remains on the bench cause he apparently still isn't meeting the standards of the coaching staff. And STEVE probably isn't learning a damn thing from this experience because some moronic fans keep insisting he play and keep chanting his name when the team is making a late game push during crunch time. I would love to see him play like the next guy...but I want what's best for the team first...and the team did start off 6-1. And while they have lost 2 games in a row it certainly isn't because of Rafer alone. They missed 14 free throws last night...14! And they allowed 61 points in the 1st half.
So it's the fans' fault?!? The only thing keeping Stevie from learning a damn thing from this experience is STEVIE. Jeez, when will some of you start to understand this?!
So your saying you want the owner and GM to coach the team? Then why even bother having any coach at all.....
If Steve isn't playing then that is an indicator of how bad his attitude and/or practice habits are. There is no personal vendetta against SF3. JVG and Adelman put the players out on the floor that give the team the best chance to win. Period. Bonzi and Vspan last year and now Steve this year do not give the team a better chance to win than the guys ahead of them in the rotation. It never ceases to amaze me how teenagers think they know how to coach better than two of the best coaches in the business.
If you think that Mark Cuban or any other owner doesn't have a say in what goes on with his ball club, you need to take your head out of the sand. Go talk to George Steinbrenner.
<br> NO you are wrong....and its not just you <br> last year JVG gave everyone a chance......even if only a small chance, a chance it was <br> He even gave damn spanoulis a good chance <br> however, when his players blew the oppurtunity he rightfully benched em forever <br> Adleman doesn't even give his players a chance <br> players coach my ass, he has favorites and for them he is a players coach
