I think the reason why Adelman has seemingly done better at the end of the last season than now is because he didn't have as many choices back then. It is possible that the added depth, in combination with the injuries has created too many possible permutations for him. It's also the reason why he may be handling this by playing a nine men rotation.
im still hopeful that christians defense and intensity will return, but his 3 pointer needs major work in the off-season. if the criticism he is getting is bad now just wait until his extension kicks in, he's making 21 next year. We simply cant have a SG that can't shoot. He takes 2-3 business days to shoot and bricks it 70% of the time. Do an AG and live on a basketball court.🤣
I'm more hopeful than before the rockets and spurs. Jamal had his first really bad game of the season, and after the season he's had that doesn't worry me at all. Cam looks aggressive and it's sad that it took almost the whole season but they look like they have drive now that they haven't for a while. The loss also hurt but didn't feel that bad because AR really clutched it up with a perfect execution in the final seconds. I think we have the chance to make a splash in the post season and we have to because we're going to get old pretty quick
I dont how much truth is out there but what it seems and looks like by all these bad coaching decisions, Adelman has anything to do with coaching. According so some Serbian leak sources its Jokic who has final decisions, rotations and leading the game plans.
