    Silas did a great job building the kid up. You don't improve as much as he did over a season without guidance and encouragement.
    Half the crap y'all lay at Silas' feet should be ascribed to Stone and at the same time yall should be thanking Stone for having the vision and sticking to it.
    The Rockets wouldn't have the roster they have now without going through that process.

    Silas is an ass coach nothing he did (besides bullying Sengun) was ever good.

    Lol. Silas holding Sengun accountable for poor defense is bullying now? Sengun must be traumatized

    I knew he was CAPABLE of playing this well...good to see him do it. I'd be lying if I said all the talk of him being a bust by some didn't bother me. i try to stay grounded ...an old Auburn coach, Pat Dye (RIP) once said during a coaching show "The least you say,the least you have to take back." It's hard sometimes but great advice. I BELIEVE in Jabari....proud of him as an Auburn man. Kessler too for that matter...man, I'd love to have him on our team.

    Can we have an entire season of Summer League instead? The last 2 games have been more fun than the last 3 years.

    Sengun, an infant, pleaded with Silas to coach him harder so Stupid ass Silas only held Sengun accountable and didnt do it for the rest of the team.

    Sengun requested his bullying. And now Sengun is a better player.. thanks Silas.. Imagine if Silas held KPJ and Jalen accountable, they would probably be all stars.

    Silas is a great individual but the way he used Jabari was crap IMO. His set rotations regardless of what was happening game wise was pure trash IMO.

    The best thing about Jabari Tari looking like legit NBA players is they aren't ****ing guards. I am so sick of us playing midget basketball and getting manhandled by teams with size.

    Wrong on all counts.
    It's wild to me how many people around here think the last three season were happenstance.
    You all celebrate the roster and the influx of youth and talent but the show utter disdain for the process that made it happen.

    Wait, did you just describe Christian Wood as a defensive center that can catch the lob and hit the three? Because that's definitely not what he is.
