boibastos Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 ^^ Marami nagsasabi na very high daw ang potential ni Randolph (Anthony, that is). The question is - hypothetically, do the Rockets gamble on this potential to get rid of T-Mac?? Getting Hitler for T-mac would be a plus. T-mac, IF he can still actually play, will never be the player he was before the injuries hit and may never be healthy again. On the other hand, Randolph may actually be a serviceable young player in the right environment. So why would the Rockets take a risk with someone who may be done rather than someone who can actually contribute? Quote Link to comment

The question is - hypothetically, do the Rockets gamble on this potential to get rid of T-Mac??well... in morey we trust. gm daryl morey has already proven a couple of times that he knows how to spot hidden talent, or at least spot the talent that would fit. besides, i've only seen randolph play once (vs the rockets)... and he IS good. it's just a "gut" feeling that he might not fit in. as you said, the question is - will the rockets gamble to get rid of tmac or just wait until tmac's contract expires. morey looks like he is not in a hurry to get rid of tmac. he really wants something out of the trade and is willing to wait it out if there's nothing there for his team.

Guest megalodon Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The Rockets are fine. Adelman has a team mentality which is why his teams have been successful. Remember the Trail Blazers of the early 90s and the Kings of the early 00s? These teams may not have won the championship but these teams had winning records and qualified for the playoffs most of the time. The Blazers reached the Finals in 90 and 92 losing to the Pistons and Bulls. respectively. The Kings were a heartbeat away from qualifying for the Finals in 2002 but luck was on LAs side that year.

Guest megalodon Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 .....last second shot by big shot rob. :thumbsdownsmiley:And a flying elbow by Kobe on Bibby in Game 6 which wasn't called. Anyway, Adelman is a competent coach. In my opinion, the Rockets are a superstar away from contending for a championship. I mean an unselfish superstar unlike Mcgrady. Quote Link to comment

Successful in the regular season, yes. But a lot to be desired come the playoffs. A .503 winning % in playoff games doesn't cut it. Somehow Phil Jax always seems to have his number.

Somehow Phil Jax always seems to have his number.This I'll say, Jackson had Adelman's number in 1992 but Jackson and the 2002 Lakers were plain lucky. If you don't find winning 50% of your playoff games successful, that's your take. Edited January 5, 2010 by megalodon Quote Link to comment
dencio Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) ^^ How about all the other times they've met in the playoffs - '00 1st Rd (3-2 Lakers), '01 2nd Rd (4-0 Lakers), '09 2nd Rd (4-3 Lakers) - luck pa rin ba 'yon (or was it fixed?!! )? That's 5-0, if that's not having someone's number, then i don't know what is. Btw, from a guy who's always maintained that the only true measure of Success is Championships/Rings, that's quite a change of heart. Edited January 5, 2010 by dencio Quote Link to comment

Btw, from a guy who's always maintained that the only true measure of Success is Championships/Rings, that's quite a change of heart.Relatively speaking. He brought his teams to the Finals twice and was a heartbeat away from taking them to a third one and most probably a championship but the Lakers were extremely lucky in 2002. The shot of Horry in game 4, the intentional flying elbow by Kobe on Bibby in the closing seconds which wasn't called which would have turneed the tide for the Kings for that game. 2009 playoffs? Cmon, the Rockets were expected to lose and many thought by a sweep yet they extended the Lakers to 7 games. Jackson had Adelman's number in 1992, 2001 and 2002. Jackson was just lucky in 2002 and 2009. The Rockets lost 20 ppg and 10 rpg with the injury of Yao Ming in the 2009 playoffs. In my opinion, the Rockets had a pretty big chance of upsetting the Lakers with Yao. Correction, I equated championship rings with greatness and whatever team had the most championships is the greatest team. Who said anything about fixing?
