David Adleman’s response to the Wolves giving him bulletin board material has been some of the worst coaching I have ever seen
If Adleman loses this series, it would be malpractice not to fire him
First, Jaden McDaniels openly says all of his players are bad defenders and how does Adleman respond? Not by using that quote to fire up his guys but rather defending his squad’s efforts by saying they have the 6th best defensive rating in the playoffs. He was happy about 6th place.
Next, in the postgame, he was happy holding the wolves to 108 “if you dont include the 2 meaningless baskets at the end”. Well im sorry man, those are still points. Also you didn’t “hold the wolves to 112” you let the Donte-less, Ant-less Wolves drop 112 on your vaunted 6th ranked defense.
This guy is all excuses. Contrast this with JJ Reddick who took blame for mistakes in an OT thriller VICTORY. JJ was more disappointed in himself in a win than Adleman is in defeat.
