Where the team has come a long way from JVG is talent. And when talking about not playing or developing young players, how stupid was it of Adelman to play dead-man Rafer down the stretch of games when AB was sizzling and Rafer was playing like trash? Talk about some missed opportunities for "development". Last year, how long did it take Landry to finally get the dust blown off to show his stuff thanks to Rick Adelman? That's really a open-minded coach that develops younger players, uh huh.

Landry played in over half the games last year and was injured for a good amount of games. What more do you want from a 2nd-round pick on a team that was #1 in the West late in the year? Not to mention the guy he was backing up was also a rookie.

If the Spurs never lucked into getting Duncan no one would even know who Greg Poppovich was today. He hasn't accomplished one thing without Tim Duncan. Nothing. Adelman's had success with three completely different teams. You're right, they're not really in the same league.

And coaches don't prevent players from being great. That's nuts. That's what you're suggesting if you think McGrady has something in him that is being held back by an all-time great coach like Adelman. If you can't play and play well for Adelman, you have a serious problem.

Agreed. Even a loser like Don Chaney could've won a title with Tim Duncan and the Spurs.
