Those are monster numbers for a rookie and he was very consistant as he did it for the last quarter of the season. He had one triple double 27 points 13 rebounds and 10 assists that's a lebron like and he had a 14 assist game and went over 20 points 4 out of the 22 and 14 plus 14 out of the 22. He only failed to not reach double figures in points in only 4 of those games, He also had 9, 5+ reb 5+ ast. This guy can truely be a player we can build around because he can have the ball in his hands at any time and create good shots for teamates as well as himself. I think him and martin can complement each other well and williams doesn't have to be the leading scorer but the focal point of the offense. He's very smooth and confident in his game which is what all the stars have. I think the rockets really lucked out with getting him for a 1st round pick and that even if we don't make a big time trade for mello or granger or even nene that we still might have already won the best prize. Thoughts please don't rip me just trying to be positive and show that we might be ok even if we don't make a big trade at the deadline, go rockets 3 in a row!!!
I agree. But I dont think Ricky Adelman is a "stars" coach but he doesn't realize you need stars to win championships
i think we should let one of our assistant be the main coach and let adelman walk i can understand waisting jermain taylor talents but letting twill play is a waste
I know because Jermain is playing like an all star this year and leading his new team to the playoffs. Dang coach!
If Taylor was as good as you say he is. Being on the the Kings is the situation where he should be showing his talents.
I was just watching the "Once Brothers" 30 for 30 documentary about Vlade Divac and Drazen Petrovic. I didn't realize this beforehand but Drazen spent his first year in the league playing for the Blazers and... Rick Adelman. He only averaged like 12mpg with Adelman having to balance another beastly rotation (which Clyde, others) and was pretty upset about it, which led to him getting traded the next year to NJ. Just thought the parallels between what's gone on with the Rockets this year and that situation are pretty interesting. Makes you think, is Adelman an unfortunate victim of circumstance, who is always having to juggle minutes between above average players? Or does he just have trouble evaluating who is really most deserving of the minutes and then keeping that rotation? Keep in mind Drazen went to the Nets and lit it up. Just something to think about.
Those numbers are nothing compared to Ricky Davis' back in his early days. That's where you find true future-star numbers.
You guys need to stop worrying about Terrence's situation till after the trade deadline to see where he stands when the dust settles. Morey traded for him knowing that there was not a spot in the rotation for him. Terrence is a player that needs the ball in his hands to be effective and would require Adelman to change the way he runs his offense. Thats alot to ask of a veteran coach who had primarily settled on a rotation that everyone else on the team had been mastering since this summer. Its a real possibility that Terrence will not be acclimated into the rotation until next season if there is no major roster overhaul in three weeks. -However Morey aquired him with the thought that he will be a key player for him in the future and Adelman knows this, its just not his time to run the team yet. Hopefully Terrence has had this communicated enough to him to allow him to know his place on the team till possibly the summer and continue to learn in the process.
Ima yell at Rick tonight. T Will not playing last night was flat out personal. Bud and Battier both had 5 fouls, so we put out Lowry, Ish, K mart, Courtney Lee, and Patterson?! Come on Rick...
Rick already stated that there wasn't a rotation spot for him and so he wasn't going to play.. I don't how much clearer he has to be... Nothing personal
