What you don't get is what is behind the smile. A sea of frustrations at times. Is he meant to throw chairs and go nuts, just so you see he hates losing?
I understand….the man wins one home game in double ot and now is a coach of the year candidate. What I saw was Nix playing wayyyy too much and being a turnover machine who couldn’t handle double teams and shooting embarrassing airball layups while talent like Christopher and TyTy don’t get one minute of playing time.
one home game? we have won our last three home games. We have won 6 of our last 14 games overall. Christopher has fallen off a cliff with his play, he isn't any good in the time he plays and he is selfish always. Fans do this though, as soon as a player gets less time, they want to see them play more. When they actually play, some fans are like "why does Silas give him minutes" Here is the truth of it, with Smith jnr and Eason added to the squad, they are getting the minutes that Christopher got last season. It comes down to Eason or Christopher and who you would rather get the minutes
The kids are starting to get it. I saw Kenyon directing traffic I saw Jabari directing people where to be I even saw Bruno tell a player get the the other side of the paint and then waited until player got into position and then went to set screen. Silas did good moving PnR from the side....changed defender set up. Less trees for KPj and Green to have to focus on. Doc In the second half tried to counter by running some zone. I love that teams are trying gimmick stuff against us. They know that our pure speed and athleticism is hard to compete with.
I just don’t see why on a rebuilding team that 34-year old James Harden should be playing more than 15-17 minutes. He’s on pace for 34 minutes right now.
I don’t doubt he gets frustrated and I am sure he wants to win as well. The problem is that he isn’t a good NBA head coach.
Sadly, he is one of the worst in history according to statistics. At least he was finally told by ownership to stop playing Nix over TyTy. Now he needs to be told to create an offense that isn’t just jacking up 65 three pointers a game. Almost every shot they take is a three pointer. Garuba, Sengun, etc. Nobody sets picks and runs actual plays in this offense.
Next seasons pick is top 4 protected from OKC so Silas did his job in the tank post harden and I fully expect him to be gone next season.
Yes, but we’ll have to suffer through another 2-12 start before they finally do it and likely yet another wasted season. They need a change now.
Are you sure you are watching the Houston Rockets basketball team? 93% of their offensive sets are initiated with a pick. But hey, Sengun and Garuba don't set picks. You cannot recognize the simplest concept in basketball - a pick, yet we're supposed to take your word for it that Silas needs to be fired? That has to be some kinda Jokic
Can't really judge that until he has a decent team to work with. Give him a couple of solid veterans instead of 1st and second year players and then we will see.
On the contrary - their entire offense is about setting a pick - nearly every possession has a few....it's just not designed to get people easy buckets - it's designed to get mismatches. I think THAT is the frustrating thing about Silas' offense - the point is to get an isolation possession and hope that A.) our player can create an advantage from that AND B.) our player is enough of a playmaker to find open teammates when the help comes. The problem with Silas is he has a system that works for a different personnel than what he has in Houston(admittedly, it would have worked for a Harden led team) but that hasn't deterred him from continuing to implement a system where we have exactly 3 players who can do A (KPJ, Green, Gordon), and maybe 1.5 players who can do B(Green and sometimes KPJ)...meanwhile Jabari is desperately out there throwing up bad shots because he doesn't know how many quarters from now he will touch the ball again and meanwhile we aren't developing younger guys because we need Gordon since he is one of our 3 'A guys' who make his "system" work. Right idea for the wrong team for Silas. ...but that's the difference between young coaches and guys like Pops - Pops will adjust his coaching to suit his current team's makeup even if he had a successful model in the past because he knows the context(personnel), is JUST as important as the system. Silas doesn't have another tool in his toolbox so 'everything looks like a nail to a hammer'.
