    Just watched the whole postgame interview. Silas also said he doesn't want Sengun to get the ball early in a possession, but just wants it dumped to him at the end of the shot clock. SMFH.

    U can look at it negatively or u can look at it as sengun being trusted more since his post moves are clutch.

    Why would Silas want to give him less time to operate with the ball? This is coming from the guy whose offense consists of KPJ being in possession of the ball way more than any other Rockets player...which is crazy.

    Lol, you shouldn't have to try and find a positive angle to a coaches comments on a player that for some reason keeps getting different treatment. Sengun should have the ball in his hands early, he is a great facilitator and he can't facilitate without time and movement from his teammates. Its absurd to think Silas wants the ball in the hands of his best creator late because "clutch"...

    What Silas actually meant was that he would rather everyone of his fav guys to get a chance to do something with the ball first especially KPJ and if there is nothing dump it off to Sengun because the play is dead anyways....

    How's KPJ's taste? At least Sengun is good

    Exactly, the whole point of Sengun has been high IQ with great footwork and able to make winning plays via passing and or creating. Silas is pretty much admitting to purposely using Sengun the wrong way because he prefers it like that. Its like if a stupid awful coach decided to use centers as guards and guards as point guards, wait a minute...

    Silas is worthless. I'd be embarrassed to employ him.

    I'm surprised there are folks here who defend him or KPJ... Those two are the worst part of this rebuild. I see why they hired Silas, they wanted as many draft picks as possible and Silas is the man for the job but when he starts getting in the way of our future stars development for what ever his personal reasons are that is a big no no...

    rox should loan senjoon to the spurs for a season so he can learn in a real system. smilass can only teach you how to look like a smiling goat and cry.

    How do you know he is hindering development when Sengun, KPJ, Jalen Green, Garuba, KJ and even Jabari are much improved from their rookie years?

    U know there has been many instances where the personal individual talent outshines the incompetence of a coach regardless?

    U seen it b4 with McHale and Harden.

    Sengun doing well with his own talent and Silas sucking at being a hc aren't mutually exclusive.

    So how do you know it's all Sengun and nobody from the rockets staff is working with him outside of games? You have some proof or just pulling **** out of your ass?

    The other poster said Silas' system is bad for Sengun and he cant flourish under this system. Are you saying Sengun isnt flourishing after he posted 21/19/7? Are you that delusional?

    With your logic, folks who thought harden was good b/c of his talent and not b/c of mchale was pulling sht out of their a$$ also?

    u can clearly tell sengun is a talented man. U can't teach that type of play making. u think silas is coaching sengun post moves? Fundamentals? sengun has that sht ingrained into him already.

    Im truly think that the players are getting better not b/c of silas guidance but inspite of him.
    Could the assistant coaches be doing the development? sure, its way more plausible than whatever silas is doing cause he aint coaching.

    Why you think everything Sengun is making is post play? Post players have gone extinct for a reason. If Sengun is just that talented as you are claiming then he should have shown out from last season when the Rox got him.

    Look its fine if yiu think that way but why dont you show some receipts nobody helped Sengun develop and it was all him? If you dont have any then why are you so confidently talking **** like you're present during their practice? Just cuz Silas isnt humiliating people on the court out in public doesnt mean he isnt teaching them behind the scenes. If you're gonna make assertions like that then better show some receipts.

    Like u said the post play is dead. Why the fk would silas teach sengun the post game? what is this logic.

    Like i said the talent was already existing.

    Sengun passing ability and playmaking ability were already there.
    Sengun post game were already there.
    u can literally go watch his turkish highlight videos.
    Man became a turkish mvp at 18, he has talent.

    Could the coaching staff hone it some more sure? but im not gonna pretend that Silas coaching ability were the reason for this Sengun "improvement".

    No one has to show receipts to know that Silas sucks at coaching. Like u can tell mchale sucks at coaching, it's quite obvious Silas suck also.

    Imagine a dumb fan telling me i had to show receipts to prove that coach is bad at his job. That's like scarface telling me I need proof with my assertions that BoB sucked at coaching and being a gm. Ridiculous.

    Some folks are just faster at realizing a coach sucks at his job over others.
