The three games in the middle worry me. Young teams tend to get up for big games and slack off a bit for "winnable" games. We'll have to see what kind of road team they are also. They didn't have much energy in Milwaukee. Hopefully Adelman will have them mentally ready every night. 5-5 after the first ten games would be great.

I was thinking very much the same thing. I could see this team dropping a game against Cleveland or something stupid like that. On the other hand, Adelman....

Adelman seems to play guys who are competing and not slacking off.

Notice how he wasn't afraid to sit Darko almost an entire second half one game and then goes with Beasley playing an entire 2nd half another game?

He goes with what is working, I have so much faith in this guy. He won't let this team slack off no matter who the team is. It's not like we're a top 3 team in the WC or anything, we need every game we can get.
