Kevin Porter Jr. loses temper, leaves Toyota Center during 2nd half

Yeah I was in kpj corne as I seen him as a young cornerstone but if he can’t have bette Eloise and control than that than cut him. Don’t make a mistake and duplicate the same no accountability culture you created with harden. Send a message

 

I don’t blame Silas for this.

He’s not losing the team considering only two bad apples acting like idiots.

Wood missing mandatory Covid testing and KPJ being a headcase.

Everyone else at least went out there and played hard.
The Rockets need to act swiftly and address this.

Wood can maybe make a public apology and be forgiven but KPJ flat out isn’t worth any of this trouble.


Now if they don’t punish these guys then the locker room will revolt.

 

dunt know who the hell wood n KPj angry with, maybe silas maybe the front office, anyway nobody wanna lose games like this, there must be something we fans dunt know brewing in the locker room for too long.

 

john wall is the last guy you want leading your young players.. Didnt bradley beal make this guy famous with the "everybody eats" line

wall was selfish and got into arguments with marcin gortat. Dude wore out his welcome in dc

 

Hope he realizes this is his last chance to really making it in the NBA. He messes up this situation with the Rockets, he might not get another chance with an NBA team. He's a good dude with lots of talent. Just lost his cool, but just gotta come back to the team, admit to the wrong, and continue the character building. Not too late

 

Oviously still suffering from a hangover...

 

Hahahaha this clown makes it too easy.

My prediction about him not being a Rocket to end next season looks spot on.

You know you're an absolute clown/nut case when you're that talented, and that young... and you're about to be exiled from your second team.

Dude is heading down the Delonte West path quick smart.

 

Watch this being spun in a way that makes both look less bad and they will continue to play big minutes. I’m tired of the drama, both can leave.

 

I feel like you need to take that back!

Mad Max exuded heart.

KPJ wouldn't know how to spell that word, let alone have any of it.

 

John Lucas calls out the one guy who had started the game in great form and was brought down by Silas subbing him out way too early in the first quarter and bringing him back way too late in the second quarter. I'd be angry as well with inept coaching like that as well

DD was hyping KPJ all last week. The curse is real.. All DD's favorites evaporate. Garry still has Omarion.

 

Losing sucks - it drains people.

Let's see how they respond to this, could be that it sets a better course.......but I think if you have weak leadership, this happens more often.

DD

 

Wow.. now I dont know how his mental will deal with all the publicity of him leaving during middle of a game.

 

Ok.

But I do blame Silas for being a terrible coach. Dude is completely in over his head.

 

You can call KPJ like he is. He pops off the screen based on the eye test, but his numbers have never ever supported his top prospect status. 54%>53%>48% true shooting the past three years, getting worse with time.

We knew this was his last chance in the NBA. He can respond to tonight by trying to make things right, but if he doesn't, he is an easy cut.

Wood has all the attributes you would dream about in a modern NBA big, and his numbers back it up. But the eye test is pretty damning; he just does so many boneheaded things, particularly on defense. Easiest call for Charles Barkley Knucklehead Status. He cannot be a top two player on a contending team.

So you bring Wood back, coddle him if necessary, get his numbers back up to where they were last year, and then trade him for the best piece you can get at the deadline.

 

So here's where I stand on this: we've all played basketball, and we've most likely all have been mad at coach for calling us out for some unfair ****. But to leave the game and essentially give up on the team--even if that wasn't your intention--is never a great look. I'm almost positive KPJ didn't walk out on the team, but to put himself above them and just head out is selfish.

But like I said before, I believe the team will give him another chance after this, it's a big deal but not the biggest of deals, and if he learns from this entire mini-saga then it'll have been beneficial to him long-term.
