Was Rick Adelman asleep during the 3rd Quarter against Magic?

I think it's kinda too late for us to use that strategy to learn... With only 4 games left, we need all the wins that we can get...

 

Is it worth it to take the entire 3Q to solve the problem, and let the opponent catch up? Adelman can't solve it himself, so he lets his players solve it. If a coach wants the players to solve the problems themselves, he should create these problems during practice. During a real game, it is no experiment. The players need his guidance as an outside person to tell them what they don't see themselves, so they can correct and then learn during the game. What I fear is, Adelman doesn't have solution himself, so he is forcing the players to find one for him

 

I agree with Ron's reluctance to follow the offensive game plan and force things. However, without him we would be lottery bound. His D and toughness more than make up for his offensive lapses. Rick needs to substitute or call a time out and get Ron back on the same page.
