    I often use James as a shortened version of Stephen.

    Just when Bob Silas thought this terrible season was over... smh.

    Michael C. Wright -- you're so wrong, but one day... one day... you will say his name. :mad:

    James Silas is bad. Even worse, this article says we have "an owner committed to turning this around as quickly as possible" and thinks our owner is one of the reasons for optimism?

    It's crazy how many errors you can spot in there. lol. They've got the Rockets' "wining percentage" and Borrego is apparently the right man to "reside" over the rebuild.

    What a stupid error. I'll bet Rox coach Mike D'Silas gets a big laugh out of that.

    Luther Silas has had a tough season, at least the author acknowledged that.

    I can’t believe they didn’t mention Kevin Martin Jr, DJ Mbenga, and Kelly Osbourne.

    How are you going to get "Jae'Sean Tate" correct, apostrophe and all, and mistake "James" for "Stephen?"

    The Silas bit is bad.

    But worse is this
    Plus, they’ve got the right coach in J.B. Bickerstaff to lead Cleveland back to respectability

    Ummm.....

    I told people Ty Lue sucks as a coach. Just wanted to say this, bye.

    We would've paid over $9M for nothing.

    "James Silas was drafted in the fifth round of the 1972 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets. However, he was waived by the Rockets before the 1972–73 season even began. Babe McCarthy, who was coaching the Dallas Chaparrals of the American Basketball Association (ABA) at the time, decided to take a chance on Silas, and Silas signed with the Chaparrals in November 1972. Silas would prove his worth, and at the end of the season he was named to the ABA All-Rookie team."
    ––––––––
    I think we made a mistake with James Silas. He went on to average 14.2 ppg, 3.4 assists and nearly 1 steal if you round up from .7 to 1.0. I think I'd like to round up boys. He also shot 85 percent on the free throw line and I'm actually rounding down here. Unfortunately in 1982 he wasn't able to play basketball because of a back injury which is unfortunate because I started watching basketball that year.

    Glad he's not holding a grudge for waiving him. Mitchell C. Wright is onto something here and we should make the change. I vote switch Silas-es.

    But switch back before Esteban finds out what we did.

    Mr. Frittata will be very upset about this.

    You have to be stupid or just a Lebron nut hugger to think Ty Lue was a good NBA coach.
