Very good questions. I think he did it to stroke the egos of the Big
Two. -- John

Thanks John for the detailed analysis.

I also watched that game live from TV. And I rewatched the 4Q too.

One thing that puzzled me.

I don't understand why Rick Adelman kept both Tracy McGrady and Ron Artest on the floor when they clanked those 10 3-pointers in 4Q.

Is he only content to stroke the egos of these Big Two even if the team was going to lose?? Or it was intentional such that the other Rockets could revolt to throw the Big Two out, or trigger them to think hard on the issue so as to buy in his systems in future??

Why did he not replace either of them by other players such as Von Wafer or Brent Barry down that stretch of 4Q when the game was on the line, and the Big Two were still on their brick-laying competition ???

It was Von Wafer and Brent Barry and other 2nd tier players, Aaron Brooks, Chuck Hayes and Carl Landry that reduced the deficit in 2Q, and established a 9-point lead in 4Q for the team just to have Tracy McGrady and Ron Artest to blow the lead away by bricking all night through.
