Don't feel so bad, everyone. Amare is playing like crap tonight! And Ericka Dampier kept Dwight Howard on check tonight! Yao owned Erika Dampier and Diop at the same time, while Dwight Howard can't even crack 20 points tonight!
The problem is that this team does not have a leader. Everyone knows that Yao and Tmac are close to pink walking p*****s. Someone mentioned in the past that JVG was the actual leader of the team. He screamed, he micromanaged, he was not tolerant to stupid decisions. JVG's gone, RA came. Too bad RA is another one close to a pink walking p***y. Then you know what will happen. Ron's a natural leader, but he can not lead right now as a new comer. Despite of character, coach RA's system is not suitable for Rox. The big three are either slow, low energy, demanding the ball, or depend on strength to excel, while RA emphasize quickness, fast reaction, and ball-passing. Tonight's loss was really embarrassing.
Did Duncan block our layups many? He only had 1 block in statistic. He blocked the stupid AB in the last two seconds. It seemed AB threw the ball into his hand.
Im sorry but Im gonna have to disagree with that. First of all, Phil Jackson's triangle is completely overrated now. When it was successful during the Bulls' two 3peats and the Lakers' 3 peats, alot of rules have changed on how defense scheme can be run now. In addition, when you throw players like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaq, etc, etc into the mix, you should win a few championships I believe. Going back to Rick Adelman's offense, he had plenty of success coaching previous teams to playoff victories and overall winning seasons. But the thing that people have to realize is that he needs to pass first PG. Rafer just isnt the answer because of his streetball mentality. If he can get his hands on a playmaker that isnt Tmac, the offense will significantly change.
This roster is not suited for Rick Idleman, err...... Adelman's stupid Princeton Offense. Bring back JVG!!!
Does he have a system?? All he does is letting players play one on one. Hell Fking yeah. "We are not going to run drills , we will just play"-RA at the beginning of the season. Remember? He sucks. No offensive discipline. He does not even know when to call time outs. We are not going to anywhere with him
Some one notices it!! Perfect. He also like to shake his head and cover his ugly face with the hands.
Yes you can. I thoroughly believe that after 1.5-2 seasons, a team takes on the identity/personality of their coach.
was gonna say that myself. how ironic. just hope adelman can somehow figure out something. i've always thought jvg deserved one more year since yao was coming back from the injury that year in the playoffs. les' problem is he thinks he knows a lot and deeply about bball (kinda like cuban), while in fact he does not. and the way he treated rudy was not right either imo.
its normal, the team have shown glimpse of brilliance. Now its just a matter of keeping to 48 mins games instead of 2-3 mins. The team started slow last season as well, and ended real good, even with the injury of Yao. Give the team some time.
I must have missed those glimpses. Or were you watching the Lakers? Seriously though, every NBA team has moments of good play, even the Thunder. The difference between average teams and good teams or good teams and great teams is how long they maintain that good play. Take the worst team in the league from last season. If they played a little better for 4 or 5 minutes of each game, they probably make the playoffs. It's ridiculously obvious to say "they need to play better for longer" but it's easier said than done. That's the same goal every team has. The real question is what do you see that makes you think we will eventually play better for longer stretches? Or do you not see any such signs?
I don't think you can blame adelman for the PLAYERS poor perfomances. It's nto his fault that they aren't executing his plays. His plays do not consist of ball watchign and stagnant offense. The 22 game win streak was teh closest the rockets ever got to running his offense. give it time
Yes you can, especially when you see the coach not doing anything about it. Adelman has got to be the laziest in-game coach I've ever seen. If players aren't executing your offense then why don't you bench them? If players are struggling with the offense then why not start micromanaging and spoon feeding the players until they get it? And what the hell is up with those substitutions and in-game plays? When the coach calls a time out on the last possession of the game I expect the team to get an easy two or at least a ft throw attempt, not for a winded Brooks to drive straight into Duncan's waiting arms
