    I know I’ll be happy next June that we kept Silas, but this just kills my competitive instinct that I have to watch turnover palace and missed free throws (and Nix) for 82 games. Miss the days of Les Alexander where he took action when things sunk to this level. Putting Lucas in there still gets our lottery objective, but at least we don’t have to see a big smile after each loss. Silas lacks intensity and the lack of discipline comes full circle where guys commit stupid turnovers, miss free throws too much, and miss WAY too many defensive assignments. Nothing to really smile about….

    Petitioning implies existential seriousness. That’s nothing like posting a critical sports tweet or a blog post here, or even spirited critical commentary on a sports talk show. Putting together and signing a formal petition just speaks to a self seriousness of fandom. Do we really want to be known as a “release the Snyder cut!” type of fan community?? If you want to be a self serious fandom feel free to sign away.

    Verno is just very illogical when it comes to his hatred of Harden. It all stems from Harden making him look like a complete fool on Twitter like 6 years ago. He hasn't gotten over it.

    are you sure this aint 18-19 season ie January of 2019? 2020 was westbrook season and i am almost sure he wasnt averaging that much in wb season
    btw there was another guy a modern day 'analitics type' analyst besides sekou that died perhaps a month or two ago

    It’s no
    Not our call….heck I’d consider it a victory if we can
    We better win when they played without Luka….had he played we lose by double digits easy! It’s like the old days before CP3….we always were in trouble when Harden sat, because we had no other “stars”.

    Does that mean we'll get a reprieve from your continuous stream of identical threads b****ing and moaning?

    That was Jonathan Tjarks. I liked him. That being said I didn't listen to the ringer during the prime Harden years. But I enjoyed his takes the last couple of years.

    I also want Silas gone. He doesn't trust Sengun. And will pull him any chance he gets. It is said that one of our best young players doesn't get to play any clutch minutes. More post touches for Sengun are also needed, especially when we are struggling to score.

    On top of that we have a young group, it is the coaches job to let them play team ball. But I never see anything resembling that. It is only iso ball. It is either KPJ or Gordon Isoing.

    I do not care about winst. But I do care about growth and seeing our young players learning to play smart basketball

    I also might owe KPJ an appolgy. I thought he was not passing enough and going iso way to often. And I was blaming him for that. But this game the guards continue to do that. So it might just be what Silas asks his players to so. Or atleast doesn't hold them accountable when they do not pass the ball.
