Beat the Cavs by 19 on Thursday. Beating the Bulls by 17 after three quarters, only to lose by three, on Saturday. This team... this friggin' team...
WHA!?!?! No, lets just blame Artest who had only 32 points, then lets blame Aaron Brooks for not passing to a guy who is covered. Adelman has work to do, we had a solid lead with Yao coming INTO the game...yet when he came in he got NO touches....NONE! That's the reason we lost.
Choke job here, not good, I was scared after the game. I thought Ron was about to attack the Refs there before Mutombo came in.
Not only is Brooks shooting like Alston, he lacks Alston's ability to run a team. This team's ability to beat fronting defenses went away with the trade. You are supposed to move the ball quickly to the weakside or penetrate. Brooks panics and looks overwhelmed making decisions out there.
Why we lost a 17 point lead * Poor coaching - Let's the players control too much when teams are coming back - Left Lowry on the bench when he should have been used to slow Rose - Pick one or the other - go for the offense or go for the D - Still haven't figured out how to get Yao the ball when teams front him > It's easy bring Yao from under the basket to set the screen out top * AB look over his head and scared to death to shoot and missed some easy drives to the bucket * Ron pulled a meMac and then did u c him go Ron Crazy at the end of the game, trying to get to the refs. Ron is on Ridlin for real * Where is the D, they scored 36 points in the 4th Quarter, u can't come back if we lock down. * What happen to the high PnR with Yao and AB. Give AB a clear drive to the bucket. We didn't run it once. Oh well, whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
This loss was all Rick's fault. He was way late on substitution and failed to make adjusment on offense. He put the ball on AB's hand and expected him to make miracle.
The players are not the problem, the problem is with Rick Adel-Crap playing the starters far too many minutes and not benching them when he should have.
You Kenny Smith, Barkley and a lot of other guys think the same thing. That's two games in a row he hasn't played well. Give the Bulls credit they played great D. Their ball pressure was very good and Miller fronting Yao down the stretch did the Rox in.
Do u remember one game that Rockets blow 17 points leads under Jeff? but under Adelman, looks like it's regular, it's ugly ball... If yao is useless, or being fronted, just take him out, insert Wafer, Barry, anyone. AB need to learn how to play with Yao, call Yao out to set high pick&roll, either diving in, take 3, or let yao take back the post, get the ball, hook it... but tonight, AB/Adelman is choking badly
Bumping this response. Artest got fouled, but no call was made. Artest was pissed and wanted to fight, but Deke came and gave Artest a hug. Way to go Deke.
There's a difference between showing disappointment and going "ZOMG AB SUCKS! ARTEST SUX! ADELMAN SUX!!!!111ONELOL". Am I disappointed? Yes. But to tell the truth, I'm really not that concerned, and I think we'll be fine. Though like I asked earlier, what's up with Landry? He's not on the injured list, so I thought he was playing.
this game shows the pg position weakness, AB is more of shooting than point. Lowry might be a better choice when AB just can not defend Derric. Ron made a lot shots tonight, however, some shots are not good shots at all although they went in. Rebounds is a big problem tonight, I am missing Landry. They still can not find solution to fronting Yao. The ball movement in 4th Q is terrible, the defense as well. Hopefully, they can learn from this game.
