Stephen A just care if he’s black and we do not care about racial stuff in here. Get over Stephen A is millionaire but he is so self conscious of being black. What matters is he is capable of doing a goob job nothing else.

20 years as an assistant coach smh yeah I see why SAS goes off about black coaches not getting those head coaching positions. Luke Walton was an assistant for like 5 years then was head coached half the season the GSW went 73-9 then he got the head coaching position in Sacramento

The coach play a role for the winning, but if the team does not have the hungry players for the championship, then even Phil Jackson wont deliver it.

He’s so laid back from what I hear that’ll he’ll be a good balance with Russ and Harden. I wonder if he’ll ask Harden to avg less points next season

Stephen A is all about some race when it comes to the NBA. The fact he is allowed to be racist af on this show about the NBA is crazy.

He’s happy because he’s black, had this been someone he would’ve been crying that only white coaches get special treatment.

For a Rookie head coach, Silas gets to coach 2 Top 50 players Alltime in James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
Pj Tucker, A great tough defender and tough guy
Robert Covington- Good 3-D Player
Eric Gordon – Tough, Strong, Good 3 point Shooter
Rockets will still be pretty good
