    That linked article was really nice actually. Really nice stuff from Doc Rivers, Pop, Spoelstra, about just how influencial the guy was.

    Doc mentions winning a game in Boston with a play they just flat out called Adelman.

    No doubt Adelman influenced a young Spoelstra growing up in Portland. Horns and that elbow action has been a main staple of Miami's offense since Spo took over.

    I love Rick Adelman's career but he was a corpse this season. Sad to see him go but it was time. Amazing achievement getting all those victories.

    Nothin but praise for this man.

    One of the most underrated coaches of all time in the NBA.

    His run with the Sacramento Kings was amazing, screwed out of a certain chip.

    Wish him all the best.

    Poor NBA. Made the Queens miss all those free throws & made C-Webb turn his back on Robert Horry

    Missed 14 FTs in Game 7

    Kobe the clutch gawd, ice cold FTs in a Game 7 on the road with the 3-peat on the line

    Peja airballed a WIDE OPEN three down 1 with less than 15 seconds to go in regulation

    Kings played like shit in crunch time, refs can't make you airball wide open corner threes.
