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

Would be, but there is no emotional attachment from Wall... He does not care for Houston, its just the team he ended up in and that pays the bills... Its a job he may be willing to take for the insane amount of money he is earning. Taking these young guys under his wing, standing up for them in games.... They get punked every game, no leadership.... I think Green would much rather roll with a big bro former star on the court than KPJ whom he probably sees as his equal and maybe even less talented than him.....

 

They knew his history and got him for free. It is why they traded for him. Knowing he had issues. So any problems they can release him for nothing. No team would traded him for any asset.

 

When that starts to happen then I say cut him but the opposite could also happen if they cut him other young players could check out as well.

Why can't we just let this play out and not jump the gun?

 

He's out if another one occurs. Do not worry.

I was more concerned with his game not coming along well, but alas, he won't be our problem.

He probably wants to take CWood's route of bouncing around a little.

 

Still does not answer the question, I guess you believe they should not have traded for him at all right?

If they thought he would not have any other issues they should not have traded for him at all, so just forget all the progress he has made until this point?

Zero tolerence?

 

Why didn't the Cavs keep him then? You still haven't answered that. They obviously felt that he was a harm to the team.

 

nah, it has plenty to do with KPJr, and I already explained why

young player playing well on another team - scrub, Kyle Korver

young player playing like garbage on the Rockets - star potential, top 5 pick talent

ok, if he’s a combo guard, he’s still 1 that can’t shoot

I’ll do his last 10 games instead of 20 since he’s played in just 22 games on the season

KPJr past 10 games:

12, 4, and 6…3.5 turnovers a game…35/36/60 shooting splits…46% TS

there is no other way to describe that other than pure trash

 

Wait? Do you actually think KPJ had anything to do with Wall playing or not playing?

Do you think Green and KPJ did not have a bond?

You are just straight making **** up now.

 

Yeah don't cut him, so the other young players know they can throw a hissy fit any time and get a pass as long they come back and say sorry.... Wonderful...

 

Why do you think the Cavs told him to stay away from the team? Exactly

 

When did I say KPJ had anything to do with Wall not playing? Wall is not playing because that's what he and Stone agreed to.... That's what The Rockets wanted him to do, sit....... Green may like KPJ but no way does Green look up to KPJ like he would a former all star and franchise player..

These guys are just entering the league and getting thrown into the fire with no one on the court to show them the way... Unless you feel KPJ is that guy, he is not...

 

Losing your temper and lashing back at KJP the absolute worst way to handle it.

Sit him for a couple of games like the kindergarten teacher putting an unruly kid in a time out and let him think about it.

He can then decide whether he is willing to eat a dick and swallow his pride and continue playing here, or whether he thinks he is all that and doesn't need the Rockets.

Also, weird that Wood seems to be getting a pass for refusing to go back in, given his history of sulky, maladaptive behavior.

Honestly, I've been expecting the shoe to drop on KJP since we called Green's name on draft night.

 

If he is a combo guard that can play good defense no he does not have to be a good shooter and 10 games is not a great sample size and you know this.

I will take the 36% percent from 3 since we are going off of small sample sizes and the point remains this is a season and a half of him being a true pg and this team can afford to see if he improves over the season, I for one was seeing an improvement.

It's evident you don't like KPJ as a player that's your prerogative I think he can be a valuable guy with his skillset and think he is improving, lets just agree to disagree.

 

Cavs were in the same situation as Rockets are now when they cut KPJ.... They aren't missing him, they did not make a mistake or let one get away.... They needed to focus on the rebuild without toxic attitudes. Rockets have already put in tons of work and effort, it did not work. Move along and let someone else try and "fix" him...

 

Yes zero tolerence. They took a flyer on him got him for nothing so they risk nothing for letting him go.

 

You said that Green would rather roll with Wall than KPJ as if one thing had to do with another.

I think Green would much rather roll with a big bro former star on the court than KPJ whom he probably sees as his equal and maybe even less talented than him.....

Your words, not mine. One player has nothing to do with the other and who says Wall is gonna teach him good habits, I mean we are talking about the guy who decided to not play for the Rockets the majority of the time he has been here.

Is that what you want Green to learn to do?

I also don't understand that you say Green is being thrown into the fire with no one on the court but the same thing is happening to KPJ but somehow he is the problem?

 

**** Wood he can


too

 

Just because he hasn't had any other public issues here doesn't mean he hasn't had issues. What happened in Cleveland still happened, so he came here knowing he was "on probation" if you will. Forgive me, but I highly doubt these young players starting their careers are gonna pout about losing Porter, Cleveland sure didn't.

From a strictly on court perspective, I really, really don't like him as a player even if he didn't have the off court issues. I think it will be addition by subtraction getting rid of him. At the very least his minutes should be greatly reduced and he should come off the bench to see how he responds. The Rockets have given him everything, if he's still gonna be a little b**ch whenever he's told no we need to find out now.

 

No the Cavs were not in the same position, they had drafted 2 other guys who played the same position so they had guys to replace him.

At least bring facts to the equation.

 

So u want me to do the 20 game sample like u asked? That would just make him look worse. All I’d have to do is increase the turnovers per game while lowering the 3 point percentage, but since u asked, here it is

KPJr past 20 games:

13, 4, and 6…4 turnovers a game…37/33/63 shooting splits…47% TS

on no planet, different dimension, section of the multi-verse, etc is that anything but pure trash, and u know it too

You’ll take the 36% 3 point shooting, but will u also take the 35% from the field, 60% from the line, and 47% TS? Can I interest u in 6 assists and 4 turnovers a game?

KPJr being trash is a fact, there is no way to spin those numbers into being good

over the course of the season, he had improved his terrible body language and propensity to not run back on D after a missed layup or turnover, and his turnover issue had gone from completely abysmal to just plain bad…oh, and his defense is better…other than, complete trash in every facet of the game and incredibly below average as a player based on the facts and watching him play
