I don't like to jump on the fire Adelman bandwagon, because I feel it's a knee jerk reaction. Also, who else is avaialble that's worth a ****? But, Adelman coached this game HORRIBLY towards the end. How many points did Miller give away because he had NO lift in his jump to get a rebound. Was it 6, 8or more? How about putting in I don't know Skinner or Ostertag to get us some rebounds. If we get a few of those rebounds, and don't give them a few of those free throws. We win. Adelman shows blatantly why he has always been close but never won a championship.
On the other hand, no one can ever say Peja didn't show up in the Playoffs again. He played great in games 1,3, and 5. Then had a couple ok games. This was not his fault.
