Sports can be a dirty business.
There’s a lot of gossip. There’s a tendency to dehumanize people. The NBA’s players, coaches and general managers alike are pieces on a chessboard - only it’s living chess.
As writers, we’re players too. Of course, we’re pawns at best. Still, we’re a small voice in the chorus. Lately, we’re mostly in harmony about one thing:
It’s time for the Rockets to move on from Stephen Silas.
I’m willing to die on one hill: Silas doesn’t deserve this. I truly believe that. He was dealt a bad hand - etc, etc.
