Adelman recognized as pioneer of modern NBA

Asik would have fit in very well in the Adelman offense as well. He is a very good passer for a big man and Adelman's system utilizes big man's passing ability from the high post.

Its a shame we let Adelman go.

A damn shame.

 

The coolest thing is that every year Rick and his son go on vacation during the week when the team that wins the NBA Finals has a parade.. He figures for 45 years he has never won one, so why start now. Often times he joins Don Nelson, Doug Moe and D'Antoni and a good time is had by all.

 

good jokes, everyone knows Adelman has a ring, they just rigged it from it to the Lakers

 

Portland's record before Adelman's full season: 39-43
Portland's first full season under Adelman: 59-23
+20 wins

Golden State's record before Adelman: 26-53

Houston's record before Adelman: 52-30

Minnesota's record before Adelman: 17-65

Adelman never took on a stacked team. Houston was the best team he ever inherited. The teams always improved.

 

Pete Carril rolls over in his grave

 

Instead of McHale, whose offense is more PG-friendly, Lin fans would be screaming about replacing Adelman with Pringles.
