Play Calling Out Of Timeouts Is Just Pure Embarrasing And Pathetic

lol, put it on the coach with 800+ wins with a 62% winning percentage. Im sure Adelman told the players to give the ball to Artest and let him jack up wtv he wants. The game is won the court, not on the bench.

 

I've said it before, our last plays are utter crap.

This is where I think Adelman truly fails as a coach. It frustrates me to no end that we can never seem to get anything going out of a timeout.

 

I'm pretty sure adelman called a play to get yao the ball down load...its not his fault that its too damn easy to take yao out of a ball game.

 

Dont blame the play calling, blame how the play is played. Artest is a joke and could never come through in clutch moments. 2 fade away shots and both of them arent even close. Then he doesnt pass at the end and plays like he got fouled and then wants to cry about it. He is a friggin joke.

 

He put Lowry in at the wrong time. Should have put him in when the lead wad 6 or 8-10. Not when the game was tied after being up 17 points.

 

It just gets old to see this team go scoreless for 5 minutes at a time. Blowing a 17 point lead or whatever it was the way we did tonight is pathetic. I am tired of watching us do this and something needs to be done. It'd be one thing if it happened to the celtics or lakers, but this is the bulls.

 

agreed, i dont know how adelman thinks!!!! why would u wait till the last second, brooks was struggeling.

 

RA made the mistake by leaving AB out there when they needed defensive plays more than anything. If your up by 8 or 10 with a couple minutes left and an opposing player is getting hot then you need to cool him down. Lowry was needed more in this situation for the final minutes. Lowry is also better at getting the ball to Yao when he is being fronted.

 

Calling a timeout after the game was tied seemed a little silly. Why not try to steal momentum a little earlier? They let the Bulls and the crowd gain complete confidence at that point.

 

Edit: Lowry is better at getting the ball to Yao in general.

 

okay well the last play was crap
