Guys and ladies... calm down and come to the realization that this team is not half as talented as you think it is, that we are going to lose a lot of games, and that Petrie needs to make some moves to undo the mess HE created and you will be a lot happier throughout this season.
The game at the end of regulation was 78-78. They WON 80-78. That sucks big time.
People come to message boards to argue and discuss, rant at times, etc. As long as it's done within the guidelines of the board, it should be perfectly okay for people to have differing opinions.
As someone pointed out, we're all amateurs anyway so why can't we have different opinions? If you think it's good to have players standing in the corner waiting to take wide open shots then you agree with Adelman, obviously.
I wanted to and needed to see something different. Evey single team in the league knows we're gonna do the same thing, especially if there's a presence inside, so they just make sure they have someone there and our guys will kick out to the safety valve time after time after time. And tonight it cost us the game.
Adelman may be a professional but he makes mistakes. I firmly believe his stubborn refusal to change his game plan at times is one of his biggest. That and his penchant for treating Kevin Martin as though he was his own personal whipping post. One errant pass wasn't adequate reason to yank him from the game IMHO.
I bow out now, because we'll continue to see this differently. I saw us pee away a game we could have won and, while there are a lot of reasons, the main responsibility falls on the shoulders of Rick Adelman.
If the team was afraid of Howard tonight, it's gonna be a really long night tomorrow...
