I'd go with Silas, too.
As a Mavs fan there's no hire id worry about Houston making more than Silas. He's a helluva coach and a huge part of our offensive schemes.
He deserves a shot (I just hope not in our division).

Agreed. There's a reason he's the go-to when Carlisle isn't available for whatever reason despite Carlisle having several other more senior coaches on his staffM.C. Swag said:

What's taking so long to announce the hire?
Supposedly, it's down to JVG and Silas.

No kidding. There has been no news in weeks. Who is actually running things for the Rockets right now with no GM or coach?RealTalk said:

Wonder if Tillman is trying to lowball these candidates and that is what is dragging this out.
Does this mean the Rockets gonna hire Sam Hinkie?
He quit the 76ers 4 years ago.RealTalk said:

I know.
He's good. Best pick for our likely last season before we blow it up.
welp
He's the lead assistant coach for the Mavs and Carlisle's right hand man for designing the offense. He's a young, player's coach that can really coach the x's and o's.BayAg_14 said:
Who?
I hate that he's going to Houston with intimate knowledge of Rick, Luka and KP.
I think y'all got a good one. Congrats.
Great hire
Who did you want?cr0wbar said:

Seems to me Morey engineered one last maneuver on a stupid nba owner.
Morey was under contract and by tricking Tillman to allow him to step down, philly owes us no compensation.

Or they just really both wanted to stop working with each other.
Of the guys who made the final cut I think I like Silas the most. He is a guy who has the resume and experience to take his first head coaching job.
Very interested to see how the offense looks next year with this change a the top. I hope to see Silas try and run an offense with a little more structure and a little less of James dribbling and just making something happen.
No matter what we will be interesting and entertaining next year with these changes and that is more than a lot of NBA teams can say in a given year.

What's Silas opinion of having a center??

Tillman sucks.
That is all.
That is all.

Why do Houston sports teams usually have the worst owners?

Softest, most "I'm just happy to have a team!" fanbases.
That may be true for the Texans but if the Rockets start to suck support and ticket sales would actually suffer which the Texans have mainly avoided up to this point while having much less success.Seersucker Ag 2011 said:RealTalk said:Harry Dunne said:

I've watched sports for a very long time. I'm not sure the fans have much to do with winning. Intelligence, Money, prestige, climate and luck are much bigger factors than the complacency of a fan base.
I don't think the Lakers are good because they have fans that "demand" excellence. Thats horse crap.
They win because premiere athletes want to live in L.A. Most LA fans barely care about sports...the weather is too nice.
The core argument is also made about the Texans ineptitude. "Texans fans will still show up and support a crappy franchise, so it has no incentive to get better". That same argument is never made for the Astros...for obvious reasons. Interestingly though, it was the city's complacency with losing that ultimately made the Astros great.
Clearly, an easily appeased fan based is an asset. You can tank for several years, amass talent and then make periodic challenges for a title. A smart owner/GM should be able to leverage this unique quirk of Houston to put together championship level teams. That is exactly how we got Hakeem and the 1994/5 titles! Recently, we have been unlucky to be saddled with selfish and or stupid owners. I have no control over who runs these teams...no fan does.
I think this excuse persists because fans always want to believe they have some role in team success. Whether it be cheering, believing, stupid superstition, or even blaming others for not being "hard"...we just want to believe we matter. We don't. We are just slave to the billionaire roulette wheel. Some are intelligent, some are bullies and some are trust fund babies.
This is a spot-on response. We the fans are just pawns that get strung along to make it feel like we matter.
Do I wish that we had a more Chicago-like sports fan culture in Houston? Absolutely. But having or not having it won't change who does or does not have billions of dollars.

Good try Morey, but **** off

Maybe if they are dumb enough to give up Joel?
He's got too many injury question marks to have want him as a franchise building block. Eaton, Sampson, Sabonis, Yao just a few I can think of off the top of my head that always battled lower leg problems

No thank you
I want to run it back this season. However, if they aren't close to making the conference finals I would become sellers in this loaded west.
Agreed. We are close enough to give it another shot but this team is running out of chances to take advantage of the current stars we have. And while Les was completely against tanking I have a feeling Tillman won't feel the same.RebAg13 said:
