    I dunno ask Michael Jordan he threw punches at teamates quite often....or ask Hakeem he threw punches in games, or Calvin Murphy who also did this....

    I mean we don't know what he threw or was it at someone, could have been like Brady tossing the IPad.....in frustration.....

    What is happening is people that like him, or think he can become something are saying - yep, give him time, and help so he can develop into a solid player.

    While some people like yourself who don't like him want him gone.

    As we are not winning anything anytime soon, doesn't hurt to let this play out.

    Wood is a bigger issue if he is truly a cancer.....I don't want him gone love his skillset, and we are SUPER short as a team, but it may be time for him to go.

    it’s beyond ridiculous

    I see what he did last night being spun as passion or showing he cares…

    Are u kidding me?

    trying to act like this is all because of losing, yet somehow so many players manage to not lose their sh*t in the locker room and then just bounce mid-game when they’re on bad team

    then all the gaslighting like KPJr hasn’t been trash on the court and trying to compare him to other rookies like he hasn’t had 2 offseasons to work on his game…

    Give AB another chance! All the other crazy stuff he did was off the field and on other teams.

    How is Wood the one being called a cancer, but KPJr did something far worse than Wood has done here?

    KPJr is about to get suspended for the 5th time since he started playing ball

    Perfect example JR!

    The Rockets need to make a example out of KPJ, we can’t allow this behavior to go unpunished. He needs to be cut immediately. The Rockets have the chance to set a no nonsense/professional environment. We can’t let these bums influence our rookies. Him and Wood need to go pronto. They ain’t that good anyway.

    They’re both cancer, but the way kpj is defended is ridiculous. We’ve been saying it, he’s not good and he’s never been good.

    I think people are desperate to cling on to this hope that he is some kind of franchise player and I have no idea why.

    Ab is a grown ass man who had multiple of chances. Kpj is 21. Those two not the same

    21 is not 12. Brown was once 21 and acted the same way. The difference is that Brown is one of the most talented and productive WRs of all time.

    I'm with you, but I don't think we'd get anything in trade for him so I wouldn't jump straight to throwing him away tbh. Give him the suspension, make it clear he's on his final shot and make him come off the bench and earn his place on the team back. His choice whether he blows it and gets waived (and likely doesn't have an NBA career) or puts his head down, takes his lumps and grows from it. We tried giving him everything and that didn't work, everybody else has discarded him when this happens, I'd risk being the team who gave him a chance to turn it around (with counselling if need be as he obviously has issues there) simply because we're not getting jack **** back for him and we're losing anyway, so why not?

    Posters out here acting kpj went batsht crazy like AB and is a cancer like moping wood


    He is more of a distraction. And it sounded like he got upset for getting bench when it wasn't even his fault.

    All in all silas is not a competent coach and wood needs to go b4 I see kpj get the boot. Even if kpj is gone, silas is clearly not in control of his God dam team

    It is just CF talk but you hardly come back from this, even if he does, he would have a slight relapse and he would be gone.

    Spending effort and time to defend him, does not make sense.

    Accepting reality is the most reasonable way.

    Makes sense.

    I do wonder though if like Wood and him are b****ing to each other, and they are together a problem.

    I think he deserves a chance just due to a simple fact that he honestly wants to hoop/b better and that we literally have no clear idea on who is In charge of the team. No vet leadership, and clearly no coach.

    If he doesn't it's understandable, but it doesn't change the two things I listed.

    Wr have delusional posters wanting wall to come out of his hole and b the leader. Jeezus christ. This dysfunctional bs is gonna b the reasons y anti tankers say zee I told u tanking does not work

    They would need both to finish off the season IMHO if there are no takers in a trade (trade value down)

    Let's just look at it as a farewell tour. I would not see it as a chance.

    The problem is he still has no role with the team, he plays the PG, the SG and the SF, none of which particularly consistent.

    I do think Silas is also gone but he does not seem to be high on the to do list. Winning is not a priority.

    I care less about the attitude and more that he’s a mediocre basketball player that is a poor fit next to Jalen and a poor fit for the team overall.

    the future is Sengun with motion and cutting off him and Jalen PnRs.

    KPJ is a ball stopper, iso type player that is nowhere near talented enough skill wise (not efficient) or bball iq wise (overthinks everything, doesn’t have great “feel”).

    include him with Wood or EG on a trade.

    Outside of his troubles, KPJ's catch and shoot 3PT% is 36%. He's a legit solid spot-up player

    His ISO FG%? ... 21%

    We have to realize this dude isn't even close to being a PG, he's far more efficient off-ball, doesn't have the consistency, IQ, or temperament to be the run the teams' offense, he's turning the ball over like a mad man and chucking like a Brewer.

    He's 6th man SG, I wish we could get a look at him in this role, with a real PG running the show, coming off the bench behind Green (Bench Brook's ass, sorry breh). We treated KPJ like a Harden replacement since day 1 which was a holy **** mistake, dude already had mad ego problems, and turns out, ain't no god damn offensive maestro
