[nba.com]Adelman lacks vote of confidence from Rockets

My bet is it's a Les Alexander thing. I doubt Morey would let him go.

Who's the alternative? Some retread?

 

KEEP HIM! Who's going to be a better coach?

As a fan, I will be pissed at Les Alexander if he lets Adelman go.

 

He is right. You're just clueless and have no idea what you're talking about.

 

yeah, but would we be playing great now without those new players DM got like CLee and PPat who crowded our roster earlier in the season? We were trying to rebuild on the fly without cap space.

 

Rick is a keeper, there is no other coach available that can do what he has done with this team. I don't think this team would have been as successful if he was not the coach. Les better give him an extension, he said he wants to win he needs to show it and put out the money to keep rick here.

 

Except every move that management has made has made the team better.

The way management operates which caused such lack of continuity did not stop Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Kyle Lowry and Chuck Hayes all from having career years, BEFORE the trade deadline.

The way management operates which caused such lack of continuity did not stop the Rockets starting 5 from becoming one of the top 5 man units in the league, BEFORE the trade deadline.

Yet still, before the trade deadline, we were indeed mired in a deep hole, struggling to compete. How can that be?

"Roster duplication"? Is that the answer?

That might sound good in your head but it sure didn't stop our starting lineup from playing so well. There was something else that disrupted continuity. The real reason why half our season was sabotaged. And it wasn't management. I think you know where I am going with this. It was that 5'10 160lb little black bean that kept on chucking our lead away.

Feel free to disagree and explain to me how exactly "roster duplication" hurt the team before the deadline, and how that is all of a sudden cleared up now causing our recent surge.

 

Probably not. What does that have to do with blaming the coach for a slow start?

 

It's one thing if you want to call Brooks a midget, but your racism has no place here. You should be banned.

 

LOL all you've done is hurl insults at everyone who says Adelman sucks at making rotations. WHy don't you try coming up with a cogent response instead of resorting to name calling on the internetz.

You say look at the success we're having how is RA not coach of the year.

I say why weren't we having this type of success earlier in the season, when the roster actually got worse talent-wise after the trades? Simple, Adelman was playing favorites in addition to all the stupid coaching decisions.

But go ahead, just stick to your extremely narrow mindset. At the end of the day, what really counts is Les Alexander's decisions, and he seems to agree with me and all the other posters here who recognize RA's flaws.

 

Adelman wasn't playing the players properly. C-bud was in a slump yet he was getting 20 mins a game, while C. Lee was getting DNPs or around 5-10 mins of PT. Also PP was glued to the bench for no reason, while its obvious now he could have contributed somewhat, certainly better than what Miller was giving us when he was playing 20+ minutes a night in the start of the season.

 

Little black bean was the nickname he was fondly refered to as before that one time when he flushed our season down he drain.

 

Actually it was made obvious a long time ago. Not sure why people are still responding.

 

i don't recall this, but you're given the benefit of the doubt because I doubt you're really of such a character.

 

We're in the ultra-competitive Western conference.

Our two best players, statistically, are Kevin Martin and Kyle Lowry.

Our starting C is Chuck Hayes.

And we're freakin' 37-34?

Resign Rick Adelman. Now.

 

lol, why is it when the Rockets win the players get the credit, but when they lose the Rick gets the blame?

Does Rick ever have good adjustments when we win? (Ever?)
Hypothetically, if Rick had a superstar do you think we would we have a better record and would consider him a better coach (because he had more talent)?

Are we not a top tier team because of the coach or is it because we lack of top tier talent?

Rick has been the same coach all these years we had winning records, gotten to the second round, had different rosters and injuries (big understatement), and during our recent surge.

Chase is a shooter and shooters have to play through slumps, and they eventually get through it like he did. Our players have developed well with Rick's methods of developing them and then rewarding them with playing time after they prove themselves in practice. All coaches make mistakes, if we dig for info I guarantee you the HOF guys have messed up as well.

If we get to 44 or 45 wins/make the playoffs/or even upset somebody will Rick still be a bad coach in your mind? I acknowledge his mistakes, but when does he deserve credit for his coaching when we win games? (or when he helps the team overcome in season adversity like injuries, lack of superstar talent, or unhappy players?)

I think we should resign him, but if we reach any of those goals above I think there should be no doubt we resign him.

 

All that counts is Chucks vote tonight.

Resign him before it's too late.

 

These are all stupid excuses why JVG didn't get the job done. He had a healthy Yao AND Tmac and had absolutely NO ball movement on offensive which cost two playoff series we should've won

Also your bias remarks gives WAY too much credit to Morey. If you actually look at the roster, we still suck. The only reason players like Budinger or Lowry are effective is because Adelmans read & react offense. Last time I checked, Morey doesn't design plays

 

The jury is out on the trade for TWill. We traded a 2012 first round pick, cash and Jermaine Taylor for this bad attitude with no jump shot. At this point I doubt you could get a bad of donuts for TWill.

 

fortunately non lottery picks from 2012 aren't worth much more than bad donuts.
