    We've reached the hard hitting reporting part where Feigen - just quotes from the team press release

    Somebody rich please use all the taxes you don't pay to save local journalism, please. Stop buying cigars for Supreme Court justices and give something back. Thx

    When is his first official work day?

    And when will we get some kind of statement from him?

    Having a concern and being a pearl clutcher is totally different IMO. Some people (pearl clutchers) don't care. They just want to see people burn and they just assume they're guilty...always. Even if they're exonerated they just blame the system or the powers that be or whatever. Just wait until the Rockets win. You'll start to hear "at least we don't employ a rapist".

    Do we have to wait until the Press Conf before Clutch change the picture of Silas to Udoka on the front page?

    It will be interesting to see what Udoka will do with this team. I would like to see him:

    1. Make Jalen the primary playmaker or at least put him in better position to score like implementing more off ball screens (pindowns, flares) and more curl action instead of just getting a dribble handoff on the wing and taking it one on one

    2. Implement Jabari more into the offense. We saw Silas did this more late in the season getting him to his spots which are the elbows and on that mid post block.

    3. Hopefully he implements more movement on offense. I don’t know much about him but Celtics looked stagnant against the Warriors in the finals and played a lot of 5 out or spread offense.

    I feel Udoka chose Houston as a low key development job with the exciting possibility of a top lottery pick after his debacle in Boston.

    There will be less pressure on him in Houston and that's good for our Rockets.

    Shelburne and Lowe were saying today it wasn't going to work for him in Toronto with the PR baggage.

    Uh huh. Just like the Broncos never really wanted DeMeco anyway, or how I was really happy Rachel McAdams got married before I had to reject her because I just didn't want to live in California.

    Dude they are going to BBQ us in the media. Malika Andrews is getting VERY powerful at ESPN and she was very aggressive going after Udoka.

    The key difference is that neither Ryans nor Macadams were abruptly fired a few months ago for sexual misconduct/violation of team rules?

    The Raptors/ Maple Leafs apparently vetoed hockey coaching hires recently for the same reason.

    They’re not kids. They are young men.

    And Silas fulfilled his role which was developing and growing that team. Players loved him and he did what he could and what was given to him. It was not about winning as the team’s coaches and Stone have consistently prioritized development and the roster reflected this.
