Given no chance to win, Stephen Silas lost. He lost games, more than any Rockets coach in a three-year tenure. And on Monday, he is expected to lose his job as Rockets head coach.
He lost games, more than any Rockets coach in a three-year tenure. And on Monday, he is expected to lose his job as head coach.
Hired to coach a team featuring former MVPs James Harden and Russell Westbrook only to instead oversee the Rockets’ effort to start over with a core built primarily around teenaged rookies and second-year players, Silas, who had three guaranteed seasons on a four-year contract, went 59-177 with the Rockets producing the worst three-season stretch in franchise history.“It’s part of the business, man, part of the business,” Silas said. “This is a business that changes every day.
The seven players selected in the first round of the past two NBA drafts are the most to have played for any team in a two-year period since the 1996-97 season. The Rockets began the season with nine players who were 21 years old or younger, and with four starters who were 22 or younger. They finished the season playing no one older than 22 most nights.
They never recovered, with the energy and determination that marked their play early in the season frequently lacking prior to the All-Star break.
