Rockets coach Rick Adelman may be coaching against the Blazers, but after playing and coaching his opposition he still calls Portland home, the Houston Chronicle is reporting.

?I like to see them succeed,? he said, ?to a certain point.?

Adelman joined Jack Ramsay?s staff in 1983 and replaced Mike Shuler as Portland coach in 1989, leading the Blazers to a 59-23 record and the NBA Finals in his first full season.
