Getting back to the plan

Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports that when the Rockets were flying back from Miami to Houston after losing their 6th game in a row, that the players (especially Yao and McGrady) had discussions with coach Rick Adelman on how the offense should focus more on Adelman’s new system as opposed to keeping remnants of the old one around.
Evidently Adelman hasn’t been comfortable making a complete switch to his new offensive system. But after several losses in a row where guys were “standing around” and the shot selection was terrible at the end of games, I would have thought it would be a no-brainer for him to go to a more motion-oriented offense much earlier than after losing 6 games. That’s what Adelman had been brought into to do in the first place, right?
