Adelman talks to the media after the loss to the Mavs. http://www.nba.com/media/rockets/pressconference11-21-07wmv.wmv
He needs to change his rotation...we need another penetrating PG....maybe that is Francis maybe it is Brooks, but the 2nd unit needs help. DD
I think Adelman is still hanging on to the idea that we'll be able to run his offense well, and he wants to use the players he thinks best fits that system. But, right now, we need guys off the bench who can just create opportunities either in pick and roll or going one on one. I expected James to be better at it than he's shown. Luther, of course, is terrible at it. I'm think Francis would be a pretty good option right about now. Adelman said "maybe its the rotation," so I think he's going to seriously contemplate a change. His dilemma is that if it turns out not to work either, then what? Does he switch back? Maybe Will (from the other thread) is right. Maybe the Rockets don't have any good options left. Maybe we're just a second tier team, and we've all grossly overestimated Morey's acquisitions.
This guy is a stubborn mule. I hate his style doing the press conference. BULL****. He's a coach and "he don't know what went wrong". Fire him!
adelman - "we lost momentum at the start of the 2nd and the 4th." hmm, adelman, isn't it a coincident that tmac sits to start those quarters? rest him to end the first and 3rd for 2 minutes please and maybe end the 2nd.
We shouldn't be this bad without T-Mac. What the hell was the point of all those offseason acquisitions, if we're still lost offensively with McGrady in the game? Plus, Adelman has been playing Yao the entire first and third quarter, so he's tired at the start of the second and fourth. It's just a screwy rotation.
Aldmen needs to go somewhere else. His creep is not working with this crew! I want steve!!! We need heart and we need someone to back up Yao. (Body guard on the court type.) I really hate to see Yao gets FF again... Aldmen you should pack and leave!
but at this point we are. so we HAVE to win now and still persevere through these struggles. as the offense gets better, then we can play w/o tmac for stretches. but tmac is going to play a lot in these big games anyways. i just hate it when as a fan you can see the swing in momentum and he sitll sits tmac.
(not directed at the thread starter....) Do some of you guys ever stop and think before you post response? Or are knee jerk, reactionary comments just your ill fated attempt to contribute to the BBS? Everyone clamored for JVG to be fired and for moves to be made; now 12 games in to the season this crap starts?
The mythology that JVG was stubborn and Adelman is not has been blown to bits. I said right after Adelman was hired and the praises kept pouring in about him that his honeymoon wouldn't last and some people would turn on him. I'm not ready to jump ship yet. I know there aren't a lot of Kings fans on the forum but it's mind-blowing how so many here had no clue what he was like. If he was such a perfect coach the Maloofs wouldn't have cut him loose. In truth Adelman is a fine coach and will figure things out. Whether he is the right coach for this team to maximize it's assets remains to be seen. Long way to go.
frankly, i dont mind the losses as much. Its NOVEMBER....i expected our record to be about .5 at this point. If we still have 4 game skids after the all star break, then i'll be concerned
What a COWARD Why not talk about how we lost 16pts advantage? Adelman always blames the players, but NEVER HIMSELF Fire him please......
I'm SICK of heardin him say 'U have to make a decision on what to do' and 'it's tough to decide who will lose minutes for other players to get minutes' Your a F*CKING COACH!!! Your supposed to make the RIGHT decision... but you constantly make the wrong decisions leaving bonehead players on the floor and not experimenting to help the damn team! When will this motherf*cker learn!? If anyone is supposed to inspire this team to victory it is your head coach.... he talks like he is BORED and just thinks 'oh well we lost'. Well guess what.... I'm bored of this sh*t too... DO YOUR JOB!!!!
are u kidding me? JVG yells at yao all the time on defense. u can hear him yell yao's name every time we play defense while watching at home. that's how loud he is.
