The one AND ONLY "Fire Adelman" thread for 05-06

[Bricklayer]

Rick Patino, knows the princeton offence, runs it in Louisville.

....and was a miserable failure in the pros. Not to mention that big-time college coaches are not going to leave their teams midseason.

Not being negative -- just realistic. All that's out there midseason is unemployed guys or your own assistants.

People keep ticking off great coaches as replacements for Adelman, but what they fail to state is why they would be great for OUR team. No one is talking about the chemistry elements. How exactly would they fit in with our guys that would be so much better than Adelman?

The problem I see is that the core players are not really responding to Rick anymore, This is the same situation that Flip was in Minny. We need a different approach whether it is with a new set of core players or a new coach the path we are heading to is one that does not include the playoffs. We must be a better team.

What the Kings don't need is a coach that just want to fit in. Adelman is that type of coach. If the team needs coaching change, then it should be looking for a coach who commands players.

 

[thenbakings]

We need a coach with some fire that will get on somebody's a**. The players are playing with no heart and do not respond to Adelman anymore. It is past time to get rid of him. It should have been done last year. He has taken this team as far as he can take them.

i bet this thread surfaces after every bad loss.......

I bet this tread closes or dies when Rick gets fired or steps down.

 

[thesanityannex]

Jon Gruden anyone?

 

[Smart_guy3]

Should we go after SVG if the Heat fire him? I think he will likely get the boot and Riley will take over I wouldn't mind having him.

 

[kingsofnba]

if the kings continue playing like this, i think RA head will be the first to roll... i give the kings 15 games to turn it around, otherwise i think the maloofs pull the plug on the adelman era... if the kings are something like 4 or 5 wins and 11 losses, i think the maloofs will fire RA... the team just doesn't seem to have any fire or energy playing anymore... i think the kings may have tuned RA out...

Kings: Great players/ Bad coach

The Kings are having a losing streak, not because the players, but because the coach Rick Adelman. This guy thinks the team still has a good bench, but unfortunately, that was 2 years ago.

He puts all the bench in the second quarter when the kings are winning by only a few points. When the bench enters the game, the opponent team takes the lead for about 10 points.

An offesive minded coach with an all offensive team/ an no defensive coach with an no defensive team. What Sacramento needs is a deffensive minded coach, to teach them how to defend (specially Stojakovic, he just cant defend), Because the king's players are all offensive. It will be a balanced team, The best team in the NBA.

Adelman is a common coach, the type of coach that only knows offense.
Have you ever noticed how hard it is for the kings to make a shot and how easy it is to its opponent to make it. Other issue is that Rick sits Stojakovich when he is on fire on the third quarter instead of letting him increase the lead... On the 4th qtr. Peja doesnt shoot!!!

And what is this coach thinking when he puts K-Mart to play? (this guy is in pure progress) He is giving him too much minutes. The same on Francisco Garcia instead of putting Corliss Williamson to play.

Our team must change its coach or they wont make the playoffs.
Losing to New Orleans is a real embarassment, maybe the worst team in the league.

I'm tired of Sacramento be an almost winner, it's time to make a change and be #1...

Peja is one of the best defenders on the Kings team. It also goes to show you how bad our defence is.

Did I hear that correctly? Peja is one of the BEST defenders on the team?

He's, quite possibly, the worst defender on the team .... but Mike Bibby has a lot to say on the subject.

But, Peja is certainly not one of the better defenders on the team. He's awful. Simply awful. The others range from good (Skinner) to mediocre (Miller) to bad (Thomas).

seriously. peja is definitely one of the best defenders out of starters.

Thank you. And as stated before this only emphasizes our dire need for some defense.

Peja is the worst defender on the team and in the NBA. Bonzi Wells and Brian Skinner are the best defens the kings have.

Jeez. I guess I'll go ahead and cancel my League Pass. I was sure i was watching all the games, including preseason, but I must not have.

Thank you for your words of wisdom.

 

[playmaker0017]

His man is consistantly getting position, rebounds, good looks at the basket.

We can have different opinions on the matter, but to me, Peja and Bibby could make the all-star non-defensive squad ... or at least the second unit.

 

[4cwebb]

I think Peja's acquitted himself as a serviceable man-to-man defender over the past few years. Haven't seen any of this year's games to this point (and just from looking at the box score, Peja certainly didn't do much to bother Prince's third quarter explosion the other night), but I'd be surprised if he's seriously regressed.

Of course, I'm not going to go out on a limb and say Peja is a good defender as he does virtually nothing from a team defense perspective. That being said, he usually isn't the Kings' achilles heel in man-to-man (that title belongs to Bibby and Bibby alone).

 

[acisking]

Sorry, but the refrain is tired and old - and very typical of some previous posters who are no longer here.

The Kings didn't FOLD in the WCF because of poor coaching. In addition, they didn't FOLD the next year - they were doing quite well until a certain power forward crumbled to the floor and didn't get up. The Kings hopes to go further sprawled there on the court with him.

Last year, they didn't FOLD as much as they were simply outplayed after mid-season trades that pretty much guaranteed an early exit from the playoffs.

Right now, the coach is the least of our problems.

Feel free to continue to rail against Adelman and his inadequacies. We'll agree to disagree... with the understanding that at the end of the year, if not before, it may all end up being moot anyway.

I'm with VF too.

RA is the least of the problems right now.

I think the biggest problem is personnel.

It's no coincidence that the biggest World Champion contenders have DEEEEEEEP benches.

Then I think that Bibby is just not the man to run point. I'm still on the fence about Peja. I think he's a phenominal second option and should be kept, if possible. But, Bibby can't initiate an offense. He can't properly run the pick and roll or pick and pop or get the ball into the post ... and that would be our bread and butter with this line up. That's our biggest problem right now.

I don't think so. I suggest you watch today's game to see that Peja is the worst defender in the League after Cuttino Mobley. That guy really sucks at deffense. The best defender in the starting 5 is Bonzi Wells.

Those who does'nt agree I invite you to see top plays on a DVD or something like that and I assure yo that you will see Peja in at least five plays defending (standing still).

Peja is not the best nor the worst in the league. He is not even the worst defender in our starting lineup.

I would dare to say that his defending has actually steadily improved over the years and he has become a better one on one defender. Rest of his defending skills still leave a bit to be desired, but he is not aweful.

Am I feeding a troll?

Well, that's quite the exaggeration.

Did you miss the word "starter"

Kings starters defensive rankings
1. Bonzi
2. Peja
3.
4. SAR
5.Miller/Bibby

Am I also feeding?

 

[West_Gunslinger16]

Please don't get mad me but......

Don't you think we/they should fire Adelman and Petrie? Petrie drafted a SG instead of PF that rebounds/blocks. And Adelman, I think we should trade him to Cleveland (Can we trade coaches? ). If he really wants to win he should let the bench play only 6 to 7 mins. then let the starters do the rest (that's why the Cavs are better because they are letting their bench play for only 6 mins. almost every game except for Damon Jones and Donyell Marshall).



Don't worry I'm still a fan I'm just disappointed how these 2 guys run the team.

 

[Variant]

Brilliant! Why hasn't someone brought this up before?

I'm going to merge this into the OFFICIAL "Fire Adelman" thread...

If Adelman plays the bench any less, the starters aren't going to have legs below the knees by mid-January or so.
