TBF it's definitely Warriors fans complaining that the refs like them too much
I guess Kibner doesn’t have a twitter account.
If we’re being honest, I didn’t think Silas would survive that brutal 2-12 start to the year. It looked and felt like the walls were caving in, and we’ve seen coaches get fired at the beginning of seasons for less. But he survived and Houston looked better over the next stretch, going 7-6 over the next 13 games. The question used the important phrase “in danger,” implying Silas could lose his job sooner rather than later.
The sense I get is there’s no rush to cut ties with Silas at this juncture. He’s always been backed by management, from winning them over in the interview process to giving him full autonomy in constructing his supporting staff. There’s a lot of love for him in the building, especially following the unfortunate passing of his father, Paul Silas.
But to say they front office isn’t frustrated would be a lie. If you wanted a game that encapsulated the 2022-23 Rockets experience, Sunday night’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves had everything. They build a big lead off the joys of youth and watched it crumble with sloppy execution and mistakes, with everyone scratching their heads afterward when asked what just happened. Watching them play, it looks like nobody is on the same page and there’s real confusion on the floor. Players look devoid of confidence at times. There’s no real order of operations; figuring out the flow of offense is essentially a crapshoot. They’re dead last in turnovers. Teams don’t respect them defensively. More than one opposing player has referenced the Rockets as a “get-right” game.
That is all on Silas. Coaching is about setting your guys up for success, but it’s about the intangibles as well. Confidence. Trust. Security. Three critically important variables in young players that seem to be lacking right now.
If I’m a betting man, my money is on Silas finishing the season out. But (important caveat!) this is assuming this losing streak doesn’t get deep into double digits. Prior to this new year, the most consecutive games Houston had lost was six. The Rockets have now dropped seven in a row and looking at their upcoming schedule, the only game they might be favored in is a home fixture with Charlotte on Jan. 18. With two games against the Sacramento Kings and an upcoming Los Angeles Lakers/LA Clippers swing, the losing streak could very well reach 11.
If we’re talking about a 13, 14-game losing streak, I’m not sure if Silas could survive that.
lol @ DY
Zooming out, Houston’s brass always looked at this rebuild as a three-year plan, not some drawn-out saga that lasts forever. This is the last season that being bad fully benefits them, thanks to the Chris Paul–Russell Westbrook trade a few years ago. (The Oklahoma City Thunder received the Rockets’ first-round picks in 2024 and 2026, both top-four protected, and gained the right to swap picks in 2025). Houston allowed Silas to make the bed he wanted, but that also comes with accountability if things go south.

Said it a few days ago but there’s not no real incentive to be good this year with Victor (which is enough reason to rank) , but I forgot all about the picks in that CP Ynot trade that come knocking next year
Silas definitely gone next year within the first 10 games if shit still south.

Giannis, Jokic, and Ant all tampering for Sengun. Rockets will of course trade him and two firsts for KAT.

“I think he’s really talented,” reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic said earlier this year. “Maybe this is going to sound weird, but I think they need to play a little bit more through him. This guy has the talent. He can pass the ball, He can post up, and he has the touch around the rim. You can see some different moves that he’s made.”

Pels are in the midst of a handful of losses right now because Zion and Ingram are out (and will likely be out for many games, still) but I'm still really super happy with the team and enjoy watching them because:
1) They are still playing .500 ball
2) Nearly all the players whose minutes are increasing are vital to the future success of the team and it is fun seeing them take on larger roles than they are used to
Easily my favorite Pels season since the first regular season of theirs I watched (08-09) and that one team between CP3 and AD. That last team didn't really have any great players, but they played with the intensity and purpose and desire to win that this current team does, so they were fun despite being bad.
