I think this and not wanting the look of firing your coach after you made/had him tank. The league isn't dumb, they see the Rockets pulling a stealthy Hinkie over here.
He’ll be fired within a week of the end of the regular season. The desperation with which he’s currently fighting for his job is pretty sad though.
I really hope Silas needs to step away from coaching and Lionel Hollins takes control. Him getting in KPJs face inching him closer and closer to his next episode would be more entertaining than the trash the team puts out on the court.
