    If FO fault for 2 big line up then FO is more F'ed up than I realized.

    Morey never forced his coaches, even Milkhair, to play certain nonstars.

    And that Silas needed to lose 15 straight to prove "without a shadow of a doubt" that his rotation reeked is even more worrisome because basketball adjustments need to be made much much sooner.

    There was so much b****ing about MDA and his lack of adjustments but compared to Silas, D'Antoni was making adjustments at warp speed.

    McMahon, Windy are implying that 2 big line up was not only cause for the historic losing.

    2 young guard line up as well.

    Stone needs to stick his nose out of the coaching, otherwise, for as decent moves as he is making, he is going to be toxic to the development of the team. I have a hard time believing that he really made Silas stick to a two big man line. WTF. Theis didn't sign for that much money lol, so we don't need to treat him like a star.

    “Silas had to ride the 2-big lineup longer than he really wanted to”

    nah, we’re not gonna let that quote just slide

    Does Silas deserve an apology? Should the slander have been directed at Stone this whole time?

    Yeah he does, that's what I figured was happening because only someone truly dumb as a rock would make those lineups withiut outside influence

    Definitely deserves less criticism from me if our FO was this influential. I guess Silas doesn't have the balls to tell the FO to **** off like some veteran coaches would likely do.

    WTF is up with our FO being such control freaks. Come coach yourself nerds if you really want to influence the coaching.

    I was all aboard replacing Silas with someone like Kenny Atkinson, but the more that comes out, it sounds like he was forced to play these 2 big lineups by Stone

    Silas has been sabotaged and doomed from the start…1st no Harden, then he’s forced to play Theis and Wood together making him look incompetent when he’s just following orders

    Silas, I got your back

    Silas was an assistant coach with the Mavs, it never made sense to me that he wouldn’t understand or would devalue spacing that much

    all the posters with pitchforks need to make a u-turn and start heading Stone’s way

    Silas doesn’t have the clout or resume to do that…1st head coaching opportunity in 20 years, he can’t afford to piss off the higher ups

    Then they’re thinking about firing him when he’s following their BS orders of 2-big lineups? That’s so fcked up

    Okay, maybe Silas gets a pass for the 2 big lineup.. but from the recap, they said Silas hates children; says the 2 young guard lineup also contributed to losing. We back to Silas slander IMO. Play Sengun (and the rookies) more and put Green in positions to succeed.

    Even if he was forced, that just means he is a weak personality and he is deferring just as quick.

    Not that great too.

    At the age of 48-50, if you still can't assert yourself, it's not getting much better down the line.

    let me rebuttal your honor

    2 young guards with 2 bigs and Tate thanks to Stone was doomed to fail from the start

    sh*t, the way things are going, Sengun might be Stone as well

    man please…

    Name the 1st time HC that would go against the wishes of the FO? If Stone wants Theis to start, he’s gonna start

    y’all really need to stop

    He needs to play Sengun. Sengun's minutes have been going DOWN, that is the actual scandal.

    Sengun's Minutes are bizarre, but there is no way Sengun is getting Stoned after Stone traded to land him. I don't blame Silas for the 2-big lineup anymore, but I'm still going to blame him for hating kids.

    Green needs to come back so I can make my final determination. I was a Silas apologist before that 15 game losing streak. It was so bad... it wasn't even basketball.. I dont care if Stone mandated the 2-big lineup...

    Silas has made everyone think Jalen Green is a bust trying to show Stone the 2-big lineup is garbage? I don't like that..

    This org is a dumpster fire!
    what massive dysfunction!
    1. Hire a wuss coach who cries like a baby in his 1st season.
    2. Try to build him up by producing a lionizing propaganda video just before the 2nd season starts.
    3. Completely castrate him during the season.

    I don’t like Stone dictating pre-historic lineups be played

    this man keeps signing useless vets like Theis and Nwaba…he offered Dipo an extension

    Stone hates the kids too lol
