    LOL ... Losing 19 games in a row is hard to do. And as others have said, they’re not even competitive. Not losing by 20+ is a “win” at this point.

    Yeah it's continuity now. Need continuity with the group. As if these guys could stay healthy enough to even get 15 games together in one season

    I think he meant 3 bone on bone scars.

    Either way we do have two max/near max players who are playing plus Wood, and we've had a ton of veterans playing as well, this team is not that young. The "young" guys like Tate and Wood who have played this year are actually 25 years old. There has to be a statistic somewhere that has this team as the worst team with this average age of players that had the most minutes played.

    5 Exp Vets: PJ, Ego, Oladipo, Wall, and I guess you can count Cousins.
    2 Max level players actually playing: Oladipo/Wall
    Break out season from a 25 year old Wood who has been in the league a while.

    You should not be losing that many games as a head coach when you have that many NBA level players. The teams that tank this badly usually have a lot of guys that are fringe NBA players. That was not the case here, and that is why Silas has under performed significantly.

    If Cleveland can pull the plug on their coach and win the title that year so can we?

    I like to give coach benefit of doubt due to all injuries, drama, but losing 19 and usually by 20 points really looks bad on him.

    The team just lost their legs.......
    Give’em a break.
    Silas is the best coach for this current job.

    MDA, McFail and Adelman also had to deal with tons of injuries but still managed to squeeze out wins. Silas just couldn’t get the job done. He made the Pistons look like the Warriors.

    How many losses in a row before it becomes obvious that we are tanking? Nobody should be in denial at this point

    I don't think Silas is a bad coach and cannot be evaluated for this season, but he is not the right coach for this team. The coach should have been JVG, but again, the enormous power that Harden had in this franchise prevented his arrival. Another of Harden's quirks along with the arrival of Westbrook, with disastrous results.

    I feel for Silas, EG and Nawaba are not healthy either. Judge Silas next season, not this year. Look at Kerr, won 3 chips with the warriors and was ASS last year. Warriors have Curry back and they are not even in the playoffs. Players availability matters.

    I’ve said it before, he gets a pass for this season, but damn I wish he would show us at least something. I thought he was a great hire, but if I’m being honest, I’ve definitely got some doubts about him now.

    Pistons are “tanking”. They aren’t losing by 20 every night.
    TWolves are “tanking”. They aren’t losing by 20 every night.

    I guess if you want to give the Rockets/Silas something, they’ve lost NINETEEN in a row and still don’t officially have the worst record in the NBA. LOL

    Yeah... Silas doesn't even instruct them to make their numerous wide open threes. What a scrub!

    At some point human nature kicks in. Guys are just playing for stats now, nothing else to play for.
