Why is it taking us so long to adapt to the adelman system?

Contrary to what someone said earlier here, the Princeton Offense doesn't require excellent athleticism. Everything I've read about it has said it was designed to allow skilled, team-oriented players to overcome their athletic disadvantages. The Princeton Offense doesn't rely on fast breaks or being able to beat your man off the dribble. It's about shooting and relying on screens set by your teammates to get open.

The shooting is what kills us. Option 1 on this team, T-Mac, is just not an accurate shooter. He's a volume shooter right now, who's often inaccurate and often on his ballhandling skills. He's not the type to run around numerous screens for the catch-and-shoot; he would probably brick the long shot anyway. Option 1A on this team, Yao, should strictly be played as a low post, back-to-the-basket threat (or a finisher off of dribble penetration). His skills are just wasted in the high post. I think it's pretty clear that Yao doesn't fit this offense; his PER and per-minute scoring last season were the lowest since his sophomore year, after those two stats had steadily improved over his first 5 seasons.

The supporting cast hasn't been ideal for this system either. Rafer is a famously bad shot, and Chuck Hayes has almost no offensive skills besides offensive rebounding.

That is exactly right. Pete Carill's biography is titled "The Smart Take from the Strong".

TMAC suck, why not. Hard to say no. But did no one sick before? The only one who stupid is the one still try to use him, just give him a break. TMAC never have a strong mind about his injury, that is a smart choose for himself. Come on, why not, one more year of NBA player means tons of money. Not good for sport sprits or our fans. But what the fxxk, anybody care about him after his retire? We need to understand what he did is right for him. For the team, let him rest until he really can play like TMAC, is that so hard with so many talents in your team!!

YAO suck? give me a BREAK! You expect an Asian to run 35 minutes every single game and want him in a good condition? R U nuts? Yao has gone for Olympics for the summer, do not tell me you do not care, those are games too! What is fxxking wrong with Dorsey, I am sorry I do not know if I spell his name right, because I do not even get a chance to see him on the court.That is what is Morey do for YAO, why Rockets even pay for this guy?
Let us see what he can do! OK, even we are now have the best record as Lakers or Celtics because of Yao need to run for 35 minutes. He will get injuried!!! And Rockets will suck again!!! Even if Yao is any other black center like Bynam, 35 minutes is crazy! Without even Yao and TMAC, rockets still have Artest and other talents, a reasonable coach can win games!!

Rick Adleman is the reason, he is the one who makes everything wrong. Do not like the 22 strike disturb you. Did you see any of those game wins because of Adleman's famous Princeton? Rockets win because of their high 3 point shooting, weak of the first several teams and the injury of the opponent team, luck of the team, nothing with Aldeman. Ok, maybe because of the paean sang by Adleman to these player. How many times did you ever see Rockets win by the final shoots after Adleman taken over Rockets? I can not even remember one even I nealry watched every single Rockets' game. Why not? Rockets are not talented enough? Because no tactics, Rick do not have anything, the only thing he say while break was called is "Play seriously, pass the ball, run and get the position." Coach as Adleman is such an easy position that I think everyone should apply. There are 13 player in this team who can play that we can only see 7 to 8 people run to death, what was this stupid old man thinking? Look what he did to our Francis last season, not let him play for 10 games. Because of the pressure, let Steve play, find he is quit good, then let him play even when Steve is sick, just like what he did to TMAC now, the only difference is Francis is old and not the no 1 in the team, and Rick just kick Francis out his plan.

Come on, Rockets fans and the managers, Rick Adleman and his Princeton are not fit for Rockets and YAO, TMAC and Artest is not gonna be able to wait for another year. Do not waste this opportunity to get the champion, it might be our last chance for several years, seriously. Let us chance the coach, he is not suitable for this team. It is a late decision that the best coach choice of Rockets has gone to Bobcats, but still Johnson is not bad. The only reason he is fired is because of stupid trade decision of Cuban. Johnson can lead Rockets to the very top, look what he did for the Mavericks. The important thing is he know how to balance defence and offence and he is not stupid when the team needs tactics.
SO WHAT IS OUR WAY TO GET THE CHAMPION? FIRE RICK ADLEMAN. That is our only chance. I CAN PROMISE YOU IF ADLEMAN IS THE COACH OF ROCKETS, ROCKETS WOULD NEVER EVER BE THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF NBA AGAIN.

Deja vu? Nah, can't be .... Is this post going to end up in EVERY thread?

If T-Mac could get back to his 04-05 form we'd be crushing. But will he ever get that back?

(snuff..) stupidity!

I like the idea of two sperate offenses. Adelmans motion offense for the younger, more energetic secondary and something different for the starters that plays more to thier strengths.
