    I just hope Victor Oladipo and Somehow by some miracle John Wall is Traded.

    Sterling Brown, David Nwaba deserve to be on Contenders. Ben McLemore, Justin Patton, Dante Exum all should be moved for anything.

    Find and Sign G League Players, that can shoot and rebound.

    No, Silas is not being insulting, he's being stupid.

    This coach is in way over his head, and not just because of a historic franchise worst 19 game losing streak whereby the team is blown out night after night.

    But his rotations have ALWAYS been in question since the first game.

    Silas is too focused on his vets rather than the future of the Rockets.

    When DJ Augustine was playing in the 4th Quarter. Everyone had energy playing with him. Danuel House had a Alley Oop Dunk from DJ.

    When John Wall checked in for DJ. Negative Vibes, John not passing to Christian Wood for a open 3 pointer, 2 times.

    John Wall with a Airball or AirWall

    Victor Oladipo with a missed Layup.

    All around Selfish Games by John Wall and Victor Oladipo. Both can't bend their knees so that is a Negative.

    I don’t disagree. That wasn’t my point - my point is that the theory that KPJ was pouting in the locker room because he came off of the bench ignores every piece of available evidence.

    Hopefully multiple guards are traded and/or a mandate comes down so that he can get all the minutes he can handle.

    And it's no big deal if they can't either. Not like we're trying to win or something.

    That Silas allows this to happen so frequently is my greatest criticism against him.

    - KPJ comes in, takes a G-League role as an obvious NBA talent in stride and tears it up
    - Called up, talks about meshing with Wood before even playing. Talks about being tutored by Harden, and friendship with John Lucas.
    - Talks about his excitement to be in a big city/big market, and how he's ready to assume a big role with the franchise moving forward
    - Totally BALLS THE F OUT for what is essentially a 20yo rookie
    - Gets completely iced out by Oladipo and Wall
    - Injured quad

    "He quit on the team, trade the bum"

    Some of y'all need to be taken out back lmao

    Anyone else find anything suspicious with this injury? Are we buying this “quad soreness“? Looked to me like KPJ was simply frustrated about something and his body language was just completely off.

    Maybe I’m reading too much into it. Maybe he legit has a minor injury. But it went from him being pissed and having poor body language, which led to Exum and Lucas having to talk to him, to a random injury and not returning the rest of the game.

    In a blowout game, Oladipo is still playing why?!?!?!? In the end, he is trying to improve Dipo's number so he can be traded with a good number. A great coach knows how to tank like Steve Kerr. He would never let his Warriors lose a franchise record.

    I didn't watch the game, but could you also spin it as having poor body language because he was told he can't go back in to preserve his health? Or that more testing was needed, so as a precaution, he couldn't go back in?

    Wall's decision making and reading of the game is pretty baffling. I thought we would be getting an upgrade in floor general status from Westbrook but now I just miss his ability to score.
