Silas needs to be fired for the way he treats Alperen Sengun

that was the question they asked at around 0:49, I thought he did a good job of articulating why he stuck with the squad that got them back in the game

 

That shows a disconnect between coaching staff and FO. Silas is an idiot as well so theres that lol

 

the Rockets pulled to within 4 points with 7 minutes left in the game, then ran out of gas. not sure what the point would have been putting Sengun back in after the Dubs made their next run

 

Thing is, all these young players need minutes ... its hard not to go that deep.

What they really need to do is consolidate some of that talent...


EG should never play another minute and you could combine Mathews, Tate, Nix & Christopher in a trade bringing back a better prospect.

 

Silas disrespects him (by giving him 20 minutes and share his minutes with Bruno) Sengun's stats will be doubled when Silas fired and we hire a real NBA coach.

 

We had a great win with our last game. Silas actually looked like a coach, which shocked me. Why not see how we do against the Sixers and if it's the beginning of a trend, or just a freakish occurrence? It's quite possibly the latter, but in the meantime, I'd think a little "basking in the glow of a win against a very good team" would feel pretty good. It feels pretty good to me.

 

it was 100-96 at the 7 minute mark. Curry hits a 3 at 6:48 and nobody else scores until almost the 5:00 mark, when Loony hits a 3 to make the score 106-96. Green follows up with a quick basket at 4:48 to make it an 8 point game.

At what point is Silas supposed to punish the players on the floor who are playing well, and make substitutions of defensively weaker players when at 4:48 you also need stops? My sense of the flow of the game at that point is that the game was still within reach: then the Dubs went on a tear and put it away (Curry, Wiggins, Curry again, then Moody) before the Rockets scored again at 1:12 when Martin scored. By that time the game was over.

I just think it's unreasonable to second-guess the coaching decisions in the last five to seven minutes when you had a group of players on the floor who were playing well.

It wasn't about punishing or ignoring Sengun; it was about rewarding those players. It's a team sport, folks here have to think in team terms. It's very misleading to frame this as being all about Sengun.

 

If keeping Sengun benched for any other reasons than actively trying to loose is automatic resignation letter from me

 

no. perhaps it would be best to just end the conversation right now

 

Shame on Silas for hurting Sengun’s feelings.

 

As general statement, these are true. But you never see sengun rewarded for his good play.

And in terms of general statements go, you could argue that you put the starter back at the end of the game. That would be the argument when last year Sengun had a great game not to finish it.

Silas literally shouts out to the world and Sengun 'I don't like your game, I don't trust you, I would not put you in if I had a choice' regularly. He did not finish the phx game though he made no defensive mistakes until that point. Bruno subbed in, who is really not known for his rebounding skills, missed two rebounds in the final possession. If Sengun missed those that would be a big issue talked by Silas, and/or the media whose job is to repeat his arguments.

 

Stop whining like a b**** over Sengun. Damn, stfu you SOF. You do this every game regardless the outcome
