Anyone else pretty confused on how our coach is divying up minutes and lineups in the early go of the season? I find it REALLY disappointing that he has yet to go "small" and deploy Wood at the 5 at ALL so far. I'm not saying Start Wood at the 5 but it would be nice to play some Small ball again when we have a lot of athletic and taller guards this year. Also Wood at the 4 leaves a lot to be desired from me.
I'd like to see more of Sengun and less of Daniel Theis. DT has the green light to shoot, and shouldn't. When DT is on the floor I'd like to see him in the low post if Wood is playing on the perimeter. Drives me crazy watching Wood and Theis playing on the perimeter at the same time. With Sengun on the floor you get a guy that can play in the low post, rebound, pass, and set picks for perimeter players. That seems to work well with Wood on the floor
Look no team ever, eeeeeveer did the "bench the old dudes and play the kids" right from the beginning of the season. They always pretend to try for at least a third of the season before mailing it in. The process Sixers did that, the Bobcats did that, the blatantly tanking Thunder did and are doing that. Favors is still their starting center. Just give it some time. I'm sure Theiss, Gordon, House, and Augustine will be playing much much less on March. No need to do it so early.
LOL then good bye championships for the next 20 years! you cant do things the way the other loser teams do and expect to do better than them... you cant practice less and become a better player.... you need to work more and practice more than others to become better and beat them ...i dont even care who plays in march... in march the season is almost over....then comes summer league that doesnt matter, then preseason that doesnt matter then again regular season where you need to play your other vets, because they are not good cause you didnt developed them LOL 3-4 years from now rockets will still be tanking and fans will be calling for tank because the next draft is extremely stocked or because the prospect of winning it all is minuscule, and it wont be because we didnt have enough talent, but because they failed spectacularly at developing the talent they had and molding it into a cohesive, high character, high chemistry TEAM and for this to happen playing time is EVERYTHING. KMJ GARUBA JC SNIPA GARRISON all should be getting major minutes RIGHT NOW Theis, augustine, ego, nwaba, house shouldnt be getting more than 5 -10 minutes OCASSIONALLY
Rebounding is a process VS Tanking is a mindset it’s hard to tell what coach is thinking because of his decision making. The only thing we all are sure of is coach and his team are friendly nice people.
Don't understand why we don't stagger KPJ + Green minutes. Don't understand why Sengun isn't in the starting lineup. Best minutes for Wood came at the 5 last night. He has all-star potential at the 5 not the 4.
Agree….don’t think going smaller is the issue. Getting a coach who runs a system other than street pickup ball would be a good start.
Red Auerbach didn't matter this much as a coach how can Silas matter to you this much? It won't matter at all in history if we win ten more or less games. This season has to be messy, if you're neurotic about that not happening, best to check out this season. We'll come out of this season with two future all stars regardless whether we follow your favorite or least favorite plan.
I think given the fact that Green has been the worst player on the court nearly every time he's checked in to the game, we need some starter changes. IMO you start Wood Sengun KMJ KPJ Gordon Now if you want Tate over KMJ, I'd understand it, but if he's not starting, he should be the first guy off the bench.
You don't think a coach matters to the development of players? Nobody on our team is an All Star. If they keep not getting any coaching, nobody on our team will ever be an All Star.
And they're still the shortest squad in the NBA. Was your statement supposed to change reality or something?
No, Silas cannot ruin Greens chance at becoming an All Star just by making coaching errors on the court. There is no way that a guy with 20 years coaching experience and watched/helped LeBron and Doncic grow will divert a star talent from being an all Star years from now. That's not real life. Real life is Silas will constitute 5-10% of his growth, the rest coming from all the assistant coaches, players, practices, games, film, Stone, summers, reflections on seasons, family, agent, opponents, teammates, etc.
