Psalm 69 - the way to succeed... and the way to suck eggs. (Stop it!)

I never thought I would say this...

but, umm, Ron... Crazy Pills... Mr. Artest... we need to have a little chat.  You see, the Rockets would have won tonight if you didn't play.  Normally I don't mind if you shoot 10% for the game, because usually you help in other areas.  Tonight, uhh, not so much.  In fact, you took valuable time away from Von Wafer - and that makes me angry.  When you miss eight 3-point attempts, it's probably wise to stop trying.  At least for tonight.  You aren't exactly Reggie Miller.  Fuck!!!

(Oh, and don't think I failed to notice you trying to block a 3 point attempt, Chuck Hayes.  That was a "let's not nominate the Dark Knight for Best Movie!" level of a bad idea.  We'll deal with you later.)

Ummm, FUCK!  This is not a game you are allowed to lose if you are trying to compete in the Western Conference.  Fuck, fuck, fuck... and worst of all, I don't even get to blame Rafer or McGrady (though the two of them didn't exactly play "well" tonight). 

I also cannot overlook the fact that the Rockets had a 9 point lead... blew it almost immediately, and Coach Sleepy did nothing to stop the Knicks' run.  When we needed shooters.... Brent Barry and Von Wafer were sitting on the bench.  Probably wondering why the hell Ron Artest continued to shoot with impunity.

Come back Yao.  And maybe wake up Coach Adelman if you get a chance.

FUCK!!

edit:  Guess who had the highest plus/minus ratio tonight?  It sure as hell wasn't Artest.  No, it was Von Wafer.  Who was not allowed to play when the game got close.  Fuck you, Rick Adelman.

Adelman

his allegiance to ending games with starters in is fucking ridiculous. take ron and tmac out and put in barry and wafer and we would have at least made one of the million bad 3’s they put up tonight

there isn't...

there is not a single situation EVER when T-Mac and Artest should combine to shoot 19 3s. Even if they go 15-19. Not acceptable.

Von Wafer not getting PT when he’s the hottest player on the team is abso-fucking-lutely ridiculous.

oh hey, add in rafer too? he was 1-7, so those three combine for 5-26 3 pt shooting.
the rest of the team? 5-7
way to fucking go Rockets

I expect that from Rafer.

How is this guy a coach?

Past accomplishments aside, I haven’t been impressed since JVG rode off into the sunset. He could at least call time outs when opposing teams go on runs and break up the rhythm. Even if he refuses to go to the hot hand and leave the starters on the floor.

Grunge I usually see eye to eye with you but that movie was pretty lame. Just sayin’….

More like a Tour de Yawn...

At the very least they could have had a prettier leading lady.

Ron Artest = Rafer Alston II?

by Jeffrey on Jan 26, 2009 9:38 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Here's where Adelman dropped the ball

2 big problems:

1) When this team is completely healthy, Artest is going to be coming off the bench. So with that said, why doesn’t Adelman go ahead and let him come off the bench? At least we can establish some sort of consistency there.

2) This team was playing decent without T-Mac and Artest, which included Wafer starting. At least with Yao out, why couldn’t we go ahead and continue to start Wafer? He played well when we beat them at home too.

In the post game, Adelman was criticizing the team for not moving the ball enough. He needs to point the finger at himself. The players on the team that are best at playing team ball, as in moving the ball via the pass and moving without the ball were nowhere to be found at the end of the game.

von wafer

von wafer is the only player on the team that should shoot more then 7 3’s a game…

von wafer woulda had made at least 15 of the 29 3’s rafer, t-mac, and artest shot…

von wafer had the highest +/- at +11

von wafer is the only reason the rockets have a decent record now

von wafer needs to be the starting SG until at least the ASB (let t-mac, and artest be 6th and 7th man)

von wafer should take 10 minutes of t-mac time every game

von wafer > T-mac this year

von wafer is the best player the rockets have had this season

von wafer needs to be in the game the WHOLE 4th QUARTER!
