Also I just want to say on this part of the conversation I doubt you watched enough Timberwolves games to know what type of job their coach did to develop him. However we all watch Rockets games and can tell you what Silas is doing with our rookies aint it. Im not gonna sit here and say that jalen would be averaging 40 with a new coach Im saying he would be given more opputunities to learn a lot earlier. Thats another part of your debate you're not understanding. No one is blaming the coach for rookie mistakes but most of these guys arent even getting the minutes to make rookie mistakes on a team that is losing anyway. Our system does not fit our players playstyle and thats on the coach. Rookies arent playing enough minutes thats on the coach. WE ARE BLAMING THINGS THAT COACH'S ARE IN CHARGE OF ON HIM. He is not being blamed for everything. Most people in this thread expected this team to lose a lot of games. Its how they are being prepared thats so glaring. Theres a reason why coaches have high turnover rates. YOUR COACH NEEDS TO FIT YOUR PLAYERS.
System? What system? There is no play at all. Players just standing around and watch. Everybody don't know what other teammates are going to do. Even Cleveland is running play, you see there are players cutting and setting back screen. We just keep turning the ball over.
You are making assumptions. Popovich taught Bulholzer. Bulholzer was considered a good coach before not. Then went to Atlanta and was considered a good coach until not. Then McMillan came and was promoted....but before was considered a good coach before being a bad coach with Portland. They ran him off. There are many factors you don't want to hear or know. Nets had one of the better records last year....have struggle this year. Now it's the coaches fault. Kyrie missed a ton of games last year too. Lakers are a ton of vets....why have they struggled? Same coach? Oh new vets and everyone has to get use to one another. Exactly what I've said about the new players joining the Rockets. But the Lakers are all vets? Why are they in disarray and only look better now that LeBron is injured? According to you everyone should be instant success from day one. You are trying to tell me Hornacek can't teach these players PnR? Drexler stops by and Vernon Maxwell and they are too dumb to teach the concepts of PnR? Olajuwon is too dumb? John Lucas? Everyone is too dumb to instruct these players....except whoever we bring in after Silas. That will be the smart one. I call BS The only way now they learn is by "On the Job Training"
We were going in circles until this part because most of what you're saying is just of a rehash of what ive already spoken to and the conversation isnt about who is "considered" a good coach. Its about what coaches actually do. That speaks to someone who doesnt believe in coaching and does not understand what a coaches job is. You dont hold a high regard for coaching. I think you are just saying this to defend Silas because as I said earlier that is the only way to defend him saying coaching doesnt matter. Well it matters to the guys not getting minutes lol Utimately you spoke about OJT and thats the problem. I feel like Im getting somehwere now. The fact that you think he needs ojt shows that you know he's not that good at his job and he needs more time. Thats the problem. It also calls into question all of your comments doubting coaching in general. It would be ok if we had westbrook and harden because as you said teams with that much talent dont need much coaching though I think his adjustments or lack there of would hurt the team no matter who we have. Silas's system and let them play attitude might work with harden though we wouldnt win a chip. That style isnt going to help the young guys much especially the ones not getting playing time. So what people are saying is what you just said. He's still learning to be a coach. He cant be doing ojt while trying to develop players as well maybe some people can but he is not one of those some people lol
Yeah yeah yeah Doc Rivers was a genius when he had Garnett, Paul Pierce, Rondo and Ray Allen. Then he forgot how to coach. Tyrone Lu was a genius coach with LeBron James. K Love and Kyrie.....then he forgot how to coach. Avery Johnson was a great coach in Dallas winning 67 games then he forgot how to coach. All had one thing in common good players when they were good, bad players when they weren't.
Exactly so you're just going to do the immature thing and talk about how coaches were considered and ignore every point that people have made and told you why they are saying what they are saying about Silas then whats your point of doing this? Here's the quote: "The only way now they learn is by "On the Job Training"" You said he needed ojt we are saying we dont want a coach who needs ojt case closed.
, No, you are just wrong. You are going to tell me, [ insert best coach you know here] would have this team further along with this group than they presently are Outstanding You are wrong, but Outstanding. The world needs all types, wrong types like you and correct types like me. The goal is not to simplify the offense to 5-men out and play D'Antoni Iso all the time. Because these players don't learn that way. Jalen Green can run iso, but that's not what Silas runs and leaned on to become the most efficient offense at the time. But you keep believing in, you thinking you are right.
Here's the quote: "The only way now they learn is by "On the Job Training"" You said he needed ojt we are saying we dont want a coach who needs ojt case closed.
You're still talking about winning and losing and almost everyone here has said its not about the losses. You are grasping at straws now. All you can do is ignore whats been said and pretend coaching doesnt matter lol
Yes I stand by "on the job training" FFA requires pilots to actually fly 1500 hours in the sky? Pilots in training learn in the classroom, but that doesn't get them their pilots license. They have to log in so they can be ready for all instances. Savvy players know all the tricks in the book that aren't often taught in practice. Green and Porter can be taught constantly in practice, put a tape recording looped to repeat everything... they still need actual playing time vs the best of the best of the best in order to get better. Josh Allen, rookie quarterback was called a bust his rookie year. Team got him some receivers and he has been one of the best since. Lot of factors to go over. Can't teach you all in one night. Green is 19 and running the toughest position of quarterback. Point SG. Porter has logged in 81 games.....rookie season would normally be 82 games. So in all intensive purposes still a rookie. And Sexton was running point. So this is Porters first real shot at point SF....now that Wall is gone. Errors will happen. Regardless of the coach.
Have you seen my signature, you're telling me things I already know. We are not talking about the players needing time. I know that. Our coaches require OJT and I dont like it lol
Agree….ridiculous when there are about 30 nba head coaching jobs IN THE WORLD, that we need to waste our fans time on an individual doing OJT. The comparison to American Airlines is ludicrous as there are over 10,000 jobs and they are struggling to find workers in this current environment.
Silas is under contract for 4 years so it's highly doubtful he is fired this year, particularly given the team needs another top 5 pick. Even Popovich would lose 50+ games with this team.
Silas' coaching literally doesn't matter. Just need a warm body to be the head coach. Most of the work is being done by trainers and assistant player development coaches. We have a team of 19 year olds who won't be online for 2-3 years at minimum (unless one of them takes a leap but so far it looks like none is on that trajectory)
Silas SUCKS….WORST COACH IN NBA HISTORY!!!!!!!! Let’s keep shooting only threes and play no defense. Theis just took another three. Silas needs to be fired asap!!!!!
This isn’t gonna work. Silas seems like a great guy, but I’m thinking he’s already lost the locker room.
