Rick Adelman was better than JVG and D'antoni combined

    He's the guys that thought Marcus Morris would be the next Lebron...best to ignore him and not waste your time. Every now and then he will come down to troll because he gets exposed for being wrong.

    I liked Rick Adelman when he was here. I also liked JVG. Unfortunate by the time Rick the Ruler finally had role players his superstars broke down like cheap Chinese furniture.

    Heh, the next Carmelo lite, actually. I've been right more times than you've had the balls to express a novel opinion. It's easy to mock others when they are wrong when you offer nothing on your own.

    But you are wrong, in every aspect. JVG is nowhere near the coach Adelman was. It's not even debatable. Adelman's coached different rosters with more success

    It is so naive and takes someone who has no knowledge of basketball to make this statement and think that JVG had a better team or equal team than RA

    I consider Rick and JVG on the same level. JVG didn't have the right role players to play with Tmac/Yao.

    Dude, that is called an opinion. And highly debatable. Yes Adelman coached more teams, so what? Pop has coached only one team and I wouldn't hold that against him.

    JVG did something RA never did. Take a team to the finals.

    JVG>>>>RA

    If Nash didn't get Horry'd in 2007 I wonder how people would view Pringles.

    Adelman was great but he did play favorite and wanted to keep his pets no matter how bad they are.

    See minnesotta signing brad miller, budinger, Kevin Martin

    I've been right consistently jerkoff. Maybe if you weren't hiding away so frequently you would know. I've even stooped low enough to bump old threads for crow eating.

    3 creams, no sugar don't forget like last time.

    Based on what? Should I resurrect the "Fire Adelman Thread" so we can revisit how much Adelman "didn't care about defense".

    Another CF narrative starting....

    You weren't even around then. Since you're so "about" the facts maybe you should look at how Rick's team here played defense. They were better than they were with JVG, and they played harder if you watched the games.

    Get your nonsense out of here and fetch tinman his latte.

    knowing Morey, D'antoni will probably get a 3 year deal.

    No no no, they play one year of good defense and then declined. RA teams were never known for their defense - not in Houston, not Sac-town, not Portland. He runs a great offense but his defense numbers on his teams are not impressive.

    I do think he's a better coach than Pringles.
