Yup, Ariza would definitely be swishing threes and not blowing layups oh wait he did that all season last year
There are too many subs and too many different lineups. It feels like chaos out there. Brooks and Martin are not playing smart together. Just jacking up shots no matter what situation we are in!
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the coach's subbing patterns. It just seems so random, especially the timing. Adelman just closes his eyes and goes eenie meenie miny moe, that's probably how he chooses who is gonna play next.
You realize he couldn't play Yao because of the time limit thing right? That 24 minute limit is going to cause problems all season long, or until they end it.
i agree we gotta get a real PG, get rid of Brooks. BTW, i don't know why our players especially K martin, Shane, Bud are lacking confidence for shooting from last 3 games. why why why why? i don't think we can win any game if we don't have that confidence.
Well don't keep us in suspense DD! Lets us hear it. Is it AB? Is it Yao's minutes? Is it Brad Miller becoming the new Brent Barry? Is it RA's rotations? Is it Battier slowly dying before our eyes? Is it C-Bud not being able to crack the starting lineup because he can't D the hell up? Is it AB and KM looking off Yao and Luis when they are beasting down low? Is it Lowry not being able to shoot beyond 5 ft? Is it RA not playing Hill? Is it Jeffries Fault? (I vote this) Is it because Chuck lost all that weight and now he thinks he is Oscar Robertson? I gotta know.
I really think this is messing with everyone on the court. Nobody knows the rotations and it's really killing team chemistry.
Yeah this whole play him only 24 minutes and no back to backs, really isn't a good way to run a team. No consistency. No identity.
That doesn't prove anything even with the "superstar" T-mac we'd still lose because hes sucking a$$ for the Pistons. And don't call me a TOH because I'm a T-mac fan too. We have tons of guys that give passion, the one and sole problem is our defense, which we are Thoroughly lacking, I guarantee if Adelamn busted his butt and taught our guys defense we'd be winning all of the last 3 games.
Everyone played pathetic tonight, yes even including Scola who left Harrington open for God knows how many times.
I have been saying this all summer. I like Lee, but Ariza's overall play helped stabilize this team. Oh well, too late for that.
WHY DIDNT WE TRADE FOR MELO???? WHY???? I WOULD TRADE BROOKS FOR MELO ANY EFFING DAY BROOKS JUST SUCKS NOW!!
glad someone finally sees this. happens to scola every time when the person he guards can knock down 3's.
Bench Yao, Battier and Start either Hayes or Hill and Budinger. Yao is to slow and is dragging this team down. Cant play defense anymore and Budinger is a massive upgrade over Battier. That team can play trap and full court press defense.
Just stop it. Playing poor D, TO the ball over 20 times in a game, and going 3-19 on 3's, has nothing to do with struggling to integrate Yao. Lets face the truth...with or without Yao, our team makeup is not very good. AB/KM/Shane/Scola + whoever the center is = fail.
damn, Rick needs to step up his coaching. we need to execute better in the second half or he could be on his way out if this keeps up
When is he gonna notice the other team is on a run and he calls a timeout to stop it and oputs someone else in? Is Adelman and Morey intentionally throwing this season for higher draft picks? Battier crowd? Shane Battier PLUS MINUS -6 2 POINTS 1-2, 0-1, 4rebs,1ast, 0 stl, 1blk Intangibles or missing stats? Phantom or not there?
3 things that this team need to accomplish: Tank this season. Trade Yao, Battier and Hayes. Play Hill and Paterson.
