i see where you come from. but what you've wished ain't gonna happen. different groups have different makeups. this team ain't adelman's old kings team.
i think we need to take dramatic measures at this point. start lowry and play him 30+minutes. he's not all that great, but at least better than a hesitating ab who throws lazy passes. when ron has had too crazy offensive possessions in a row, sub him out immediately. play barry over wafer. wafer has lost control for some reason. barry can't be poosibly worse than wafer at this juncture. experiment playing cook when the lakers play their second unit. double kobe at the perimeter and force him pass the ball. actually double him in the last 6 minutes of the game because he ain't gonna pass the ball no matter what. transplant yao a titanium lower leg.
Well thought out post, but I have a question. If La and Houston play their best, who wins? If the rosters were put in a lottoery type system and Adelman won, who roster would he take? U can look in whatever mirror u want, but la is a better team. From the owner to the gm to the coaches to the players. In a 7 game series, the best team always win.
