Nope -- in true holiday spirit PJ can go bleep himself as far as I'm concerned. Never.

I respect you Brick...but wholeheartedly would welcome Phil Jackson...in the spirit of ANY holiday!Bricklayer said:Nope -- in true holiday spirit PJ can go bleep himself as far as I'm concerned. Never.
quick dog said:I can not see for the life of me how a new coach would make any difference with the Kings. You must have a bunch of very good players, which includes consistency, to do well in the NBA. At this point, the Kings do not have enough "very good" players. Some of our alleged veteran "very good" players have been annoyingly disappointing this year. How is Adelman resposible for unforced turnovers, missed lay-ups, poor defense, lack of athleticism, cowardice in the paint, or missed free-throws? Most of our players have suffered from at least one of these failings this year. Some players seem to alternate between the various problems depending on the mood du jour.

Thats why we need to trade him now, before he bolts and we get nothing. Oh yeah, and bringing in a ball buster like Paul Silas would be more adept for this team at this point...Adelman is a softie, and without a leader, like our team right now, a ball buster is needed, especially for a guy like Bibby.swisshh said:As previously stated, Don Nelson would just be redundant. It would be better to add a new element with a new coach. Take a look at Detroit and Saunders' offensive focus giving the team a new strength.
I am not an Adleman fan, a coaching change should have happened when it would have really mattered. So right now I am not too concerned about the coach situation. I'm more worried about the looming idea of Petrie not trading Peja and then the situation getting bad when he hits free agency and the team overpays for him or gets nothing for him.

Sum182 said:I was watching Dallas vs. Kings on TNT in spanish, and the guys said that there's some rumors that mention Don Nelson's return with the Kings. They said that Nelson is a very good friend of the Maloofs.
MMMM... it would be another bad move.![]()

People in the Rockets fan site really want to trade Van Gundy for Adelmen (over 800 replies on a topic called "Fire Van Gundy")
yeah, I remember...Paul Pressey was sick on defense!! Nelson CAN coach a defensive team, he just chooses flash to get attention and sell tix, over substance, for some reason.mary said:Nelson's Bucks teams were some of the best defensive teams in the league at the time.

Yeah, weren't those the days when, on average, holding your teams to under 100 points was unheard of?Bricklayer said:that was 20 years ago!
pedro said:Don nelson is the 2nd winnignest coach in nba history. He'd be an asounding improvement over adleman. I like nelson's stratagies too. He's does little things to win games. Mismatches, speed, different zones, etc. hackabowens, hackashaqs, etc He's a smart coach. Addleman just has no energy. Nelson would be out there yelling and animated at the players. Good luck prying him away from the mavs organization though.

When we compare to the same level of games coached with adleman, nelson wins and is ahead on percentages.
Or do you disagree with that? Care to put your foot in your mouth again?

Nelson has coached more games, thusly his losses are higher. But his wins are also greater. When we compare to the same level of games coached with adleman, nelson wins and is ahead on percentages. Therefore an astounding step in the right direction, from what adleman is bringing. Or do you disagree with that? Care to put your foot in your mouth again?

twocents said:i seem to remember nelson outcoaching adelman time and time again only to be bailed out by the superior quality of players adelman had.
Bricklayer said:Yes, I hate how that happened year after year after year. I mean Don got screwed. That man does it right -- defense, rebounding, interior play. Don's bread and butter. Its why he's always been such an amazing playoff coach except when matched up with opposing coaches who are just flat out lucky or who cheat. He builds his teams to WIN IT ALL babyyy!![]()
