    He yelled at Silas and left early.....

    The point is these guys are frustrated with Silas time for him to go.

    Harden was right about SIlas. He tried to tell us.

    Harden is smart. He knows this quite early.

    Honestly, I have no doubt that the players are frustrated and probably have lost the faith and respect for their coach. The team looks disjointed and Silas has to go as soon as possible. But we should be careful with these stories... Here you can see the moment Jabari is called and Alperen stays seated, nothing too relevant seems to happen. On the other picture, Alperen is with the team at least until our last possesion... Anyone can rewatch it on league pass.

    Sengun is one thing but I feel like KJ and Jabari all feel like being treated like ****. And they probably have EG in their ears too

    Can you believe Nix lead the team in mins?

    This guy must have dropped 50+10 in NBDL yesterday.

    Eric Gordon - "We gotta move the ball and play D!"
    Also Eric Godron - Doesn't move the ball or play D.

    he did a good job of preventing sengun get another triple double so he has that going for himself...

    and he gives a great hope for all of the non-hardworking, unskilled, untalented, non-hustling people outthere, that you can still make it if you just know the right people!

    Clippers built their lead with Sengun on the bench. It might actually support the theory that Silas is holding Sengun back for the benefit of the draft pick. No halfway intelligent person would have run that rotation otherwise.

    At this point there should be punishment for blatant tanking.

    whatever adam silver needs to investigate into this...fans are not paying expensive tickets to watch rigged games and than there is the entire betting industry...this is a fraudulent practice...if silas is playing an under the table bookie he should at least split his money with sengun...

    The Hornets might be the best shot at a 1 game winning streak.

    Prayer circle please

    Well everything is overrated if we really want to nitpick, but the intensity and being able to guard perimeter and taller players is what doesn't show up in the box score, charges/deflections etc as well

    You play long enough in the league then everybody will get scored/dunked on eventually

    Just got home. What time does the game start?

    I'm excited to see Jalen Green without KPJ.

    Besides a Morris bobble head, My kid got high fives from TyTy, Bruno, Boban, Gordon and at least one more Rockets player before halftime and after the game.

    Silas should be the face of ‘No Nix left behind’ campaign.

    We're by farrr the worst team though. The top 3 worst teams get equal odds so winning a game here or there wouldn't effect the tank at all. The losing streak is reaching double digits. Almost every loss has been by double digits. Silas is on very, very thin ice now. I doubt he's intentionally tanking. He's just a buffoon of a coach who constantly makes wrong decisions.
