    He does.

    And be better at charity stripe.

    But 20/10 with 38% 3P does not grow in trees.

    Silas needs to do his job better.

    Imagine what MDA could do with Wood.

    Boggles your mind.

    Dude coaching isn’t about control it never was and of any coach thinks he can control players he’s a bad coach. Maybe this is why you and so many fans blame Silas. I’m not even sure what you’re arguing at this point since it’s a bit nebulous and confusing. Like I said players decisions make up majority of teams success. It is not coaching nor has it ever been.

    Harden definitely an All Star. And he used Harden wrong from the jump.

    Wall and Dipo were also former All Stars.

    And Wood was in running for MIP and All Star before his injury.

    Silas has had talent, he just doesn't know how to maximize let alone use it efficiently.

    Yep. Impatient and hateful. Not to mention unrealistic. I don’t get it. Even if we are blown out every game I wouldn’t say fire Silas. This is his first year with this group after harden era. The team has competed in the last 5 games 4 of which are western juggernauts. And so much is put on coaching which is not and never has been the main reason why teams lose. Players. Again players make the league go not owners not GM’s not coaches.

    We are talking about Wall right?

    He was the king of ISO last season and had career low AST.

    Nevermind he forgot how to get ball to roller in PnR.

    Dipo wasn’t Dipo of old. We all know that. Missing layups and couldn’t shoot wide open shots. Again that’s not coaching.

    Then why put the ball in his hands and let him ISO like a MFer?

    You can be sure what Im arguing by actually reading what I said LOL. SHOW ME THE QUOTE FROM MY PREVIOUS POST WHERE I SAID COACHING IS ABOUT CONTROL. I gave you a laundry list of things he gets the blame for and everything I mentioned is something he is responsible for and you just ignored it. Whats the point of even posting if youre going to do that. Man up, at this point you know youre wrong stop cappin and admit it. Its embarassing that now you have to pretend to be stupid or bad at reading in order to defend his nonsense LOL.

    I disagree. Harden was a point guard and Silas let him play. Harden made his own decisions to pass the ball and not be a dominant scorer. After his first 3 games or so where he dominated he gave up and may have used the next few games to practice his passing because he knew he was joining the nets. Of course I’m just speculating here about his passing but he was used as he’s always been used. It was he the player who didn’t want to score or play. Players make the NBA go

    Again not sure why this is personal or took a negative turn. Or Maybe have a more thought out post that makes sense and far less emotion then I would understand it better. Oh well you do you bud

    I really wonder why we’re overrating „close losses“ to contender teams so much.

    It’s like all of you guys forgot how we used to play bad teams when we were contenders ourselves. Remember all the games that looked lost at halftime to bad teams?
    Just to be won anyway in the end because they start playing serious.

    We are the terrible team that no one takes serious now.

    I said you have to pretend to be stupid and now youre whining about a personal attack. Its stupid to talk to someone or even reply to someone and pretend like they didnt say what they said. Its dumb and childish. "he's not even responsible" after I wrote an entire paragraph that any casual can see a coach is responsible for. Youre wrong you deflected and changed the subject. Thats par for the course on this board. SILAS GETS THE BLAME FOR WHAT SILAS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.

    That’s the personnel we had and a lot of that was player decision making to iso. There’s s lot of reasons for that. Also Coaches don’t just give up on players especially if they’l were an at a very high level. I dont understand why you guys think coaches control every single facet of the game. That’s not how coaching works. You ride and die with players especially if they’re your main guys. John starks pat riley 1994 finals.

    Player decision to iso????

    That sounds like the team system is FUBAR.

    And coach has no voice.

    This is not a good thing.

    Coaching matters

    Or it should.

    Dwight era D'Antoni (I feel later on he lost his touch a bit and became too inflexible) with Wood and Harden would've been incredible. That's a real coach with a philosophy and a system though...
