    there were some games this season that we saw insane potential

    think yall are jumping the gun a little on silas. half the team dont wanna play bc they know theyre getting moved, already got moved or just got there lol

    we need to get wall and dipo out fast so we can start the actual build sooner than later imo

    Yes, out of hundreds of NBA head coaches Silas is the worst head coach - or maybe the Rockets DON’T have three bonafide all stars and just aren’t that good.... The Rockets don’t even have one “bonafide” all star on the roster.

    Coaching matters.

    After 1st Quarter, Wall decided to stop feeding the hot hand in Wood.

    Lost every quarter after that.

    No adjustment. Zip. Nada. Nil.

    John wall is out there looking only for his . The coach has lost control of the team. The offense is a joke. Iso ball or just chuck up threes.

    Silas lost this team a while back.

    19 straight blowout losses is an indicator of more than tanking for top 4 pick.

    This many 20 point losses is a culture killer.

    So there’s a way to increase odds of getting a top pick and winning at the same time?

    Who would have thought

    Silas was dealt a losing hand to start his career, he’ll be on the hot seat next year if he can’t get it righted by mid season

    I'd settle for being more competitive.

    We dont have to lose by 10+ every game.

    Also now Tillman is coming to realisation that harden was the base that was keeping this franchise afloat. People called him entitled but he gave more then he took... there is only 3 or 4 of those guys in the NBA.

    Dantoni used to say in his press conferences I’m really not doing anything I just let James be James.

    Harden didn't want Silas either, and that was one of the reasons he was so upset and was not looking forward to the season. He wanted Lue or Lucas, and I think if Tilman didn't disrespect MDA then he would have been fine with him too. He did not want JVG and I think Silas was his last choice. I have a feeling JVG was not his choice, but I think he was above Silas.

    Sad truth: The Charlotte Bobcats can easily defeat us at this point. Yes, the Bobcats.

    No, but if your owner was betting buttloads on the opposite every game at his own casino, you wouldn't want to rock the boat.

    Tilman needs to refill the coffers somehow. That yacht ain't gonna pay for itself. :D

    Can you imagine Silas getting canned after all the BS he had to endure?

    We’d get KILLED in the media. And best believe they’ll make it about race.

    Silas has been dealt an isanely crappy hand.. however.

    You cant watch a game and see and semblance of plays or adjustments being made.

    We can give him the benefit of the doubt, but nights like these are ones where you show your potential and step up.

    All we saw were Wall iso's, chucking 3s and the only solid plays were Woods rim running.

    There was no accountability put on the players. No sense of pride from the bench. Im really disappointed.

    I can't stand the 5-out offense, not much better than MDA's offense. I did like it when he ran some off-the-ball screen actions, but that just doesn't happen much anymore. But that 5-out offense is disgustingly basic and ISO-centric. Much easier to defend one person dribbling while everyone else is standing in mud.

    If this is what we have to look forward to for the future of Rocket's basketball offensively, it's not encouraging.

    Most of the time that happens but the Hawks also have nearly got their full team back in. Lets see what their final record is before we see if the move was the right one..............heck even Silas had a 6 game winning streak
