JG/KPJ go straight back to starting when they return, given how well team's played in their absence?

Great post

 

I’d start KPJ and bring Green off the bench. Matthews is playing too well to demote and I’d like to see KPJ get more reps with him. Green will still get his run.

 

You're right, Feigen just tweeted they're 100% boosted.



NBA shoudl give us some kind of award or something. 100% vaxxed, 100% boosted. Retroactive 2018 title maybe.

 

Ask Omicron.

 

They would get better stats coming off the bench though, just for a couple games.

 

Green haters are a funny bunch. KPJ was "great" and was getting better every game but Green hasn't improved at all? Do you simply look at stats or do you not watch games?

I don't understand why people like you have to consistently use hyperbole to get your hatred for Jalen Green across. It's tiresome. He's the future. Get used to it. KPJ is on a test run. The idea right now is that KPJ pans out, and hopefully he turns it around in....checks notes...his 3rd year in the league. I hope he does because I'd much prefer to get a PF in this draft and not worry about the PG position. But we can't have a PG in his *third* year turning it over as much as he does. We did the Jeremy Lin thing already. Not wanting to do that again. KPJ, at this point in time, doesn't pass either the eye test nor the stats test. Unlike the Mobley Mob who wants Green banished to the G League for all eternity, I'm cool with KPJ ironing out his warts in hopes that he improves game to game. KPJ will be starting again the minute he gets healthy. Jalen Green will be starting again the minute he gets healthy.

This thread is moot because both will be starting. As ineffcient as they are because even though Gary Bird and Armoni Brooks are playing well, they don't have the upside, talent or potential of KPJ and especially Jalen Green.

 

Haha man hakeem94 you're not well.

Seek help my brother....Silas living in your
head rent free.

P.S. Silas just called, said, "he owns you."

 

I agree on the shooters aspect.....just that
#2 picks get a little more opportunities
or leash to succeed.

Anothiny Edwards didn't look good
for the first 36 games of the season
last year.....what if the T-Wolves called
him a bust after 12 games?

Crazy. No franchise calls their top
5 pick a bust so soon. Do expect the
Rockets to do that either.

 

The fans will debate, but in the end I think Silas will start both guys regardless what we think. Only thing that might change is if Rockets go on a long L-streak again.

I've said this in other posts; I'm ok with both guys starting. Green in the name of development, KPJ for his audition.

If I could only pick one for the quota; I'd keep Green in the starting lineup. Because of the #2 draft pick and the higher potential. KPJ is supposed to be the $1.5 mil low risk try-out. I hope the org don't lose sight of that.

In my opinion, he has to start. It's true that sometimes you get more perspective from the bench, but at this point you don't want to break his confidence. Keep running him out there and let him learn how to do it.

 

Whatever lineup works best for them. Obviously Green needs as mucb spacing as possible to drive because there's very few players who can keep up with his first step and his shooting struggles. I think KPJ with wood at center is best for both of them. Both Gordon and Augustin are gonna be gone by the deadline anyway if they keep this level of play up

 

I am not a Green hater and want him to succeed. You can think KPJ is better and not be a Green hater. I just think KPJ needs to start and Green come off the bench for now as it will help for Green to get some confidence against 2nd units. When he starts to get it, start him. That is what is happening with Segun and not everybody that is ok with that is labeled a Segun hater.

 

With KPJ & JG out, the Rockets are playing more team ball. JG has a one-dimensional game. When he gets the ball he is going straight to shooting or layups/dunks and is also quite soft on defense. The team is handling the ball better and finishing strong without KPJ who makes some crucial and lazy mistakes in crunch time. I doubt KPJ will come off the bench but JG should definitely come off the bench considering how well our current roster is playing.

 

THIS^^^^

 

Porter is the better PG than EGo.

You're crazy if you think otherwise.

 

Agreed. Gordan is not a PG. He is a scorer and a good defensive player.
