coach sleepy Stories - The Dream Shake
Coach Sleepy is gone. And no one should be surprised.
By now, we are all aware that Rick Adelman will not be returning as the Head Coach of the Houston Rockets next year. Daryl Morey announced yesterday that Adelman and the team have mutually parted ways. It was quite the professional way to handle things, especially since the public handling of...
Marcus Cousin's long, strange trip back to Houston
[note: Houston signed Marcus Cousin to a non-guaranteed contract today] scene: Daryl Morey's secret lair deep inside the Toyota Center, right after the Rockets beat the Clippers without most of their key players. The team was eliminated from the playoffs earlier in the week... and our boy...
To all who watched last night's HOU/PHX game: Do Not Blame the Referees
Yes, I know Patrick Patterson was not even close to touching the ball on the rim. Yes, I know Courtney Lee did not actually foul Hakim Warrick on that "and-1" drive in the 4th Q. Yes, I know that Chase Budinger was hit on the elbow or forearm every time he tried a jumpshot. I DO NOT CARE. (The...
Rick Adelman has some explaining to do
The Rockets have now played three games since they have excised Shane Battier and Aaron Brooks at the trading deadline and acquired Hasheem Thabeet and Goran Dragic. The day of the trade, I believe it would be fair to say the general consensus was a mixture of the following reactions: "Alright! ...
The Rockets are not a good basketball team. That makes me a sad panda.
In watching the Rockets completely fall apart in the third quarter last night, I realized one thing. Okay, I realized a lot of things, but one thing in particular: the Rockets simply are not a good basketball team, and the addition of Yao Ming (if that ever happens) will not make much of a...
Rockets/Lakers: Five Random "Opening Night" thoughts
1. Damn you, Steve Blake. Damn you. You know I'm one of your biggest fans, but come on. That was just mean. Once you released that shot, I knew it was in. Kobe might have had doubts... the Laker fans that didn't leave might have had doubts... Rick Adelman was busy dreaming about...
10 reasons to be glad the 2009/10 season is over
It is official. We are in the offseason. The Rockets' season is over. For the first time in this blog's existence, there will be no playoff joy in Mudville. No teams to irrationally hate over a seven game series.... except... for the next 2 months my loyalty shifts temporarily from the Rockets...
It's time to poke Coach Sleepy with a stick. Or a cattle prod.
Someone please wake up Rick Adelman. I do not think he's aware that he has four new players he can put into his rotation. Including Kevin Martin. Who should not be coming off the bench like he's some sort of role player. Also, with the depth the team has now, there is no way Chuck Hayes...
Can the Rockets break out of their funk against the Blazers?
January has not been kind to the Rockets. Granted, a lot of it is their own doing - or undoing - as the case may be. That said, the Rockets lack the 2005 versions of Tracy McGrady and/or Yao Ming (or even Mike James, who was awesome that spring). I still do not expect the Rockets to acquire a...
Looks like we will have Coach Sleepy to kick around for a few more years
The Rockets are extending the contract for Rick Adelman. Granted, I have never publicly shied away from my opinion that letting JVG go was a mistake. I like Rick Adelman for his ability to juggle all sorts of personalities. And his backhanded compliment of Tracy McGrady this past week ("he was a...
