Rick Adelman is gone. This is not a surprise. It's also not a slam on Adelman's coaching ability or the job he did with the Rockets. It's merely a difference of opinion between Adelman and the management on how the team wants to move forward.
I think this is how Marcus Cousin ended up signing with the Houston Rockets today. I could be wrong though. [hypothetical situation involving Marcus Cousin, Daryl Morey, Les Alexander, text messages from Sports Guy and ..... tequila]
Yes, the referees were questionable at best in the Rockets/Suns game last night. But no, they are not the reason the Rockets lost.
The Rockets' youth movement has begun. I do not think Rick Adelman got the memo though. One of his eight bosses needs to inform him that Hasheem Thabeet, Terrence Williams and Patrick Patterson should be playing extended minutes over the next 20 games.
After watching the Rockets collapse (again) in the third quarter last night, I'm quickly losing hope for a quick fix. At this point, the only thing to watch is Luis Scola's continuing badassery. Even if Rick Adelman refuses to notice.
