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.

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
