Actually 0-4 he never finish his game vs SA. The team he love to score on. BTW. Aaron as a started = 2round any other PG in 11 years first round exit.
With two consecutive losses to open the season, Yao was like, 0-2 so what? There are 72 waiting there to play. With 1-5 records, Coach Adelman was like, if this was during the season (not the beginning), no one was going to give a d@mn. No let's see who's talking? I have been in panic mood since 1-4 because it looked easy for us to slip to a record like current. Now, a change is needed to possibly save the season, otherwise, do not expect the record is going to be much better in the next dozen of games. What's going on with the owner? In the past I remember that the owner was pretty mad at RA for a long losing streak. He openly demanded an explanation from RA in the media. Any words from him in the media?
Why was not Scola on the court for the entire 4th quarter? Unless you are leading by 20 + you have to play Luis.
Substituting Battier for Lee was a big mistake tonight. I would have preferred to play Hill and Luis in the 4th quarter. C-Bud needs to wake up.
All Kevin Martin has done so far is fill up the scoring on the stat sheet. He can be efficient and all but that's not helping the rockets win.
Why AB has to take the credit? If you have to say it's one player that made this happen, it should be Ron Artest. Get your logic straight son!
LOL I'm not sure how anybody who actually paid attention to the game can still defend Rick Adelman. Its not that the players suck, its the fact that he sucks so bad he's making a winnable game a losing one. We had a freaking 18 rebound advantage on this game, with also 18 offensive rebounds. Coaching gaffes RA made on this game alone: 1) Hayes over Hill/Miller -Layup fest at the start of the game 2) Subbing players in 5 man groups -LOL wtf? 3) Hill playing only 21 mins. -What does Hill have to do to get decent playing time? 14 pts, 10 rebs on only 1 miss not enough for you, Rick? Meanwhile Hayes continues to rack up minutes at the C spot. 4) No Scola at the 4rth -Yeah Miller played decent. But Scola was playing great. Scola and Jeffries shold have been in the game instead of Battier and Miller. 5) Subbing Lee out for Battier -A microscom of how lost RA is out there on the court. Lee was finally playing well, makes his shots, grabs some rebs, makes an impact on the court, and RA takes him out for Battier! Later on when it doesn't matter anymore Lee comes back out and starts hitting the shots he should have hit when the game was still on! Saying "Brooks and Yao are out" isn't really an excuse. We had this game, the coach cost us the loss.
They were packing the paint and he was having trouble scoring and they were having problems getting him the ball. Brad Miller was playing well and so was Jordan Hill.
When coach put Battier back on the floor in the 4th, I slapped myself in the face. The weird thing is, I am not one given to impulsive behavior and I don't have any major diagnosed psychiatric pathology. Weird. I think it was a natural physical reaction to something so repulsive that there was no other appropriate response. That or Adleman's terrible matchup decisions lead to demonic possession.
Didn't watch this one. I wish I had, but I was at work. I have no problem with Martin. The team was built around Yao being here. And if Yao were playing (or if he can get back and up to speed), Martin would be more valuable. Martin getting to the line gets the Rockets shooting free throws. That means Yao gets to the line more late in quarters. That's the reason Lowry's here. That's the reason Martin's here. It's all about getting Yao to the line which makes him the most efficient offensive player in the league. Without Yao, this doesn't matter as much. This isn't on Adelman. This isn't on Battier. This isn't on Brooks, Martin, or Morey. This is a team built around a player who cannot play. It's that simple. This is a team that needs to decide if it's rebuilding or contending. If they're rebuilding, you trade your assets for cap space and young talent. If they're contending, you continue to bet on Yao. That's it. Stop the overreaction, people.
well, another loss.. but it's kind of different.. -Jordan Hill finally shows his potential.. -Budinger slowly improve (yes, i know that he's missed all the 3 pointers) -Lee is one of the best two way player we have (not a bad performance by him tonight) -Kevin Martin, although he missed FT in 4th quarter, actually he made some shots in 4th quarter.. while it brings a little of optimism, i don't know how much we will improve, even with the addition of Brooks and Yao..
I have never witnessed a player that scores 20 points a game be so ineffective. The hunting for fouls has to stop! This guy is Charmin soft.
