    Whatever you want to say about Silas, I just think its fair to acknowledge that throughout his tenure here, he was not given a fair shake. There are posters here who will be irrational and hate him no matter what, but at least know that this organization was not a favorable environment to thrive in for most people.

    Look, we can go into the details of each and every franchise in this league, which one is a favorable environment, which one is not.

    We have to deal with the fact that it is an NBA team, staff members come and go.

    Due process.....every day business.

    This is not a non governmental charity situation that is standing up to injustice, it is basketball, not rocket science.

    Fair or not fair, he is getting paid royally for it.

    Sengun is a rebounding machine. Smith and Eason showing that they were smart picks.

    For a parting gift, Silas screwed up his one job, to secure best Tankathon odds.

    We played our bench to close out the fourth. The Wizards just wanted it less.

    He has to lay down so the next coach can walk
    Over him to success

    He was always a sacrificial lamb
    Since Harden left

    Spare me with this trite "Its just business"stuff, truly. And stop acting like I'm trying to save his job, I'm not, nor are you able to personally fire him.

    Enough with this garbage already, just another attempt at rationalization to hate the man. Most professional in our league today would not be succeeding with this organization. He was not given a fair shot here, that is a fact. That's all I'm trying to say. You can go get your pitchforks in another thread.

    And for those of us who've been here through all this, we will have earned the right to scoff at the bandwagoners who will jump on later. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

    You're right. He had no chance to succeed, but he didn't show much either. Bad situation all around. I wish him the best.

    Very disappointed we didn't pull more tank moves.

    Landing the 7th pick would be a bit of a disaster.

    We did not tank, we did not develop and we have some groupies praising Stone and his crew. Clowns.
    Really painful process, unnecessarily mediocre.

    Thanks to everyone who was loyal. We will remain here for the lottery, the draft and the upcoming years, until life remains on this heart or these clowns reach a level so bad that I cant betray myself or my family anymore. Hopefully that day never comes.

    Love to you all, there are fanboys in every fanbase, but remember, you can be loyal, love your team and still be critic. Don't do the dirty job for millionaires like Stone or Billionares like Fertita. The Rockers were here before them and will be here after them. That is our only loyalty.
