Adelman's coaching

[gixxerR6]

i have one question and one question only, why does Rick Adelman calls a time out after a 12-1 run by the heat or a 14-2 run???? best example we were up by 10 points and up by 8 points when the Heat went on a run but when does adelman call a time out? When we Fall behind by 2 pts SHOULDN'T you call a time out after the opponent team scores 6 streight points in row and you score NONE??? But instead Mr. adelman waits till his team LOSES the Lead

i seriously hope they don't resign him for next year!

his coaching decisions as of late(the last three and a half years) have been absolutely horrible. what the hell has he been thinking about?

The Kings are a veteran team. Rick trusts the team enough to let them play through a short dry stretch. These guys have played together for a long time, there isn't a whole lot that Rick is going to say that will sway their momentum, especially at home.

I think adleman needs to run with the flow of the Game he has a fixed mind state to use his starters towards the end of the game regardless of the play,foul trouble ,injury or whatever it may be he goes with his regulars, but sometimes you have to adapt to the situation at hand when you have a strategy that may not be familar you cannot be afraid to try something different because you never know you just might like it,we can't blame the loss on him totally but some of the decisions down the stretch must come into question,the pick and roll plays were not working towards the end and peja who kept us in it that 4th quarter I think he should have got the ball more or at least been a playmaker decoy to get others involved.

Adelman's timeout in the third quarter was PERFECTLY timed, and provided the turning point for us there as we were starting to fall apart. We came out of the timeout much more settled, and came charging back into the lead. exactly what you are looking for.

Now the late game decisions this game were...questionable.

I'm glad that's going to be your only question. It's fascinating to me that you only show up when the team loses and then you just post ragging comments.

Name me one coach who doesn't CALL a time out before an 8-0 run by the other Team you must call a time out BEFORE you lose your lead!

(thats like bleeding but you don't call 911 to help you Instead you call em when you lost 50% of your blood and thats too late)

I thought you said you only had one question...

I only post after losses.. but that's just because I'm a lurker by nature, but I can't stand it when trolls come out of the woodwork and whine about the refs, the coach, or whetever else when they should be complaining about the lack of execution down the stretch (which is the players responsibility).

I don't post a lot either but no need to poke fun at those that do Lurke and post on an emotional loss....

Not you, Joel... I was talking to gixxer06.

The coach is the extension of the players as well as the players being an extension of the coach,it was a collective effort tonight a total team loss.

hehe. You know it's bad when I'm at KF playing to voice of reason.

Off to the glue factory with the whole lot of 'em!

Okay, back to the topic at hand.

You cannot in good conscience lay this loss at Adelman's feet. It wasn't a time out that cost us the game. It was a combination of factors, which I've repeated several times. One of them was the injury to Miller that kept him off the court for an extended period of time. Another was the abysmal call that sent DC to the showers early. Another was the absence of Bobby to come in off the bench. Add to that some very poor play in the second quarter, a cold stretch late in the game AND some non-calls by the officials and you have the recipe for a close loss.

Why do you always seem so calm. I am in near panic attack here

If you still had Karma, I'd give you some.

Add to that the fact that the Kings bigs were in foul trouble, and Bibby's ever present slow defensive rotations.

its a Close loss that never should have been a close WIN, im sorry but the coach plays a big role in those situations espacilly when they go on a 10-0 run

The personal stuff stops now. Everyone is upset, some more than others. There is no need for name-calling and I apologize to everyone for my part in this.

Was it just me or did Bibby look like he was playing in slow motion a couple of times against Jones, D?

It wasn't you. Bibby's defense was AWFUL!

Checking in from Serbia...
My first and only post on the topic: JUST FIRE HIM!
It's coming in the offseason anyway, why not speed the process up a little bit...

Bibby has no Defense i don't remember one point guard he ever stoped through defense.

WORD!!!!

The only post i agree.......

He always plays his regulars in the last minute and down the stretch...

I think he only relies in his starters, even his guy had 15 stitches...

No gameplan, no strategy whatsoever!!!

Just go with the flow Rick! Don't Panic!!!!

One quick question for for all the upset, finger pointers here...

How many of you went ape-**** AT THE TIME when Adelman put Brad back in the lineup for Tag?

Uh-huh, I thought so...maybe 10% of you ...tops.

It's easy to be a post-game armchair "quarterback"...so easy...

Perhaps Adelman was seeking to insert someone in the lineup that COULD draw more fouls on Shaq, that COULD get to the line in the penalty, and that, heaven for bid, COULD make a few free throws. Fancy that, huh????

OK, please resume your regularly-scheduled (after a loss) let's-blame-the-coach-and-call-for-his-firing routine.

BTW, the PLAYERS didn't execute in the last 5 minutes. The Kings ran their offense, which included cuts to the basket, but those were not open to be exploited (for whatever reason). They gave us wide open jumpers, and we missed. We do not have a take-over-the-game, 1-on-1 super athlete to rescue us in these situations. Part of the downer for not having a very athletic team.

So, if the offense was not getting the guys open going to the hole, should we have forced a drive by someone? Put Webb in the block and tell him to try to punch it in from up close? What play do you call?

Adelman tried to bolster his offensive arsenal and choices by adding Brad in the 4th. Hard to ***** and whine about that...unless of course that substitution results in three key missed shots late. If Brad makes even one of those shots, the game may have had a different outcome, but he didn't, so it becomes an OBVIOUS mistake, since he had been sitting so long.

Oh ye of little faith...

Then why did Miller shoot jumpers instead of driving inside?
