    After all the analysis and interviews, etc. I think Silas makes the most sense at the end of the day

    Interesting timing. It seems Memphis announced Fizdale as their coach soon after Borrego met with Les. I was under the impression Borrego was their lead candidate. Hmm. Maybe they know something? Have the Rockets made their decision?

    The Rockets will now be picking through the scraps that the rest of the league flung from their dinner table, Morey is a God though according to this website....
