I agree. Adelman is a great coach, but not tonight LOL. Hopefully the Rockets have a Merry Christmas and get ready for the Nets
"Adelman is the worst coach in NBA history." "We are a better team without a medicore coach like Adelman." "Adelman is a below average coach because he doesn't play TMac." Talking about idiots...
And our commentators never say a bad thing about Ariza except to remark on his poor free throw percentage....Cmon, thats the only wrong with him guys?
should have taken ariza out in the third quarter and played the brooks/lowry backcourt. ariza was horrible on offense and left his man wide open on defense almost every time.
i love adelman but the battriza rotation has to go. you have 2 guys where offense is the weak point of their game on the curt at the same time.
McGrady wasn't going to play many minutes regardless because of the back to back with traveling. So please don't say T-Mac should have been in the game more tonight. Boy, Ariza sure didn't show up tonight. Same goes for Andersen.
Ariza really needs to step back his shooting. Like another poster said, to rise to the next level he needs to start being like Josh Smith. Basically, play to your strengths. Poor coaching too in not placing him in a situation where he can succeed. That being said, the loss was not one I'm terribly upset about. Orlando is a good team. With Yao we own them but without Yao we get destroyed.
You can be a great hall of fame coach despite being at making plays and substitutions. RA proved that. Are you honestly going to say this loss isn't on Ariza and Adelman? When Ariza's going 1-10, its to bench him and put JT in there. The worst he can do is go for 0-10, and that's one less FG than Ariza. Had RA put in the bench earlier, or demanded that Landry become the focus of the offense we might've won the game. Go to the guy who going 7-10, limit the touches of the player who's going 1-10, its freakin' common sense.
i don't know if i should be mad at ariza for playing so poorly or mad at myself for believing that he would miraculously become this good offensive player
He shot poorly from the field prior to this game, 1-for-11 from the field and 3 point land combined IIRC.
