    Exactly. If Silas is that worried about his defense, do the old offense-defense switcheroo down the stretch, like good coaches do.

    Instead the NICE GUY just lets him rot the entire 4th and OT. What a ****ing goober

    Silas ordered a baklava once that didn't taste right. He's hated everything Turkish ever since then

    Dont think it was a fake Comeback, they actually came back and went into OT playing DEFENSE. In today's NBA, you have to have a center that can makeup defensive mistakes. Perimeter players are too good

    I understand why we sat Sengun in the 4th, because we decided to essentially run and gun every single possession and it worked too and we got it to OT. There's no reason why Sengun had to sit in the OT, everyone was so tired, and running on fumes, they couldn't just fast break every possession anymore. It was a perfect time to get a fresh Sengun in for some good half court offense

    Jabari struggles were on the Offensive end. If you're behind, the best way to make a comeback is to first get stops. Unfortunately, the Rockets are always behind, so silas has to play his best defenders to get stops.

    Any coach knows the 4th Qtr is MONEY TIME, you have to get stops and score in order to win and it's going to be in that order. If you can not get stops, you can not win.

    Especially since Turner was out of the game. That's what doesn't make sense to me. I get it. This is one of those rare games were Sengun is a bad defensive match up. Okay, but Miles Turner is on the bench.

    That's a good point but probably because he sat for so long, Silas thought process could have been you risk putting in a cold player into an intense game, it would take him a few possessions to get warmed up. I'm not sure.

    I don't understand this?

    Worst 3 records all have the same odds for picks 1-4. 4th worst team right now is Charlotte with 6 more wins than the Rockets, and they have been hot at 7-3 in their last 10 games

    Even if the Rockets are trying to win, they are not going to win 6+ more games than the Hornets win.

    Other than that being the worst only matters if there a guy you really want at the 5th pick who will not be there at the 7th pick.
