Give the coach a mulligan. No COACH, NO COACH is winning with trash rosters in the NBA, especially a roster with the worst spacing in the NBA.
X’s and O’s, and an offensive philosophy aren’t concerns to me for Silas. The concern was always whether or not he’d be able to control a locker room. And those concerns unfortunately, have come into play here. Oladipo and Wall, especially Wall, seem to do whatever they want. They seem to ignore play calls. But Silas has no backbone to enforce any accountability — which is what I thought Lucas was here for. Look at the Utah game when Wall and Dipo were out and we had a real PG (KPJ) to run his system.
Even if it takes the team to ween off of ISO plays, hope he start soon. Because what's out there now aint working. Also in the order of Woods, DJ Wilson, then Patton. At least have one of them out there for the boards.
You have Key players who don’t come from small ball teams and have no desire for small ball. I guess you can count Cwood as an anomaly cause he plays more like a stretch big/guard/Mobile big. Dipo and Wall don’t like absorbing that much contact in the lane.. so whatcha gonna do.
Silas offensive philosophy is supposed to be exactly what MDA ran, except with more ball/player movement. Silas just sucks at coaching it as HC. Carlisle could crack the whip, Silas obviously cannot. So the offense is whatever Wall feels like running each game and deviates from quarter to quarter depending on Wall's emotional stability.
Silas meeting his haters: We have been having some impressive wins recently .. . . I am not unpleased. Rocket River
