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

I dont get the apologists. There is no difference. Both acted inexcusably and unprofessionally. Their me-first attitude will not and should not fly for our beloved rockets. OTW, our franchise will not be taken serioisly and will always be taken for the years ahead. As a legit fan of the rockets, i would never compromise the franchise for any of them. I dont care even if they are allworld players (wc certainly they are not!!)

 

Yet when we were calling him an ******* we were somehow out of line. Pretty sure some Rockets players would agree right now.

 

That is 100% not true. Porter has not missed practices any more than other players kn the team. Random person on a thread saying something does not make it true. Still what he did is not tolerable and not much different from Antonio Brown. Sadly, his time in the NBA may be over.

 

Both are true what KPJ did was messed and Silas sucks as a head coach. People fight tooth and nail to deny something on here until its staring them right in the face. I predicted this would happen and that KPJ needed to be given a lesser role only to be called a KPJ hater. You guys are gonna defend Silas until he permanently makes Housotn the most undesirable place to come. Geez even Kevin Mchale thinks its a mistake the way he's handling Sengun lol Dude is bad.

 

The problem here isn't just the specific outburst, but what really seems like more endemic problems. How coachable is KPJ? And by that, I don't mean the yelling and screaming type of stuff. I mean, if tomorrow the staff says "you're not working out at point guard, we're going to move you to the three," can anyone say for sure how he'd take it? Or if he needs to come off the bench and be our sixth man?

I don't know the answer to those questions. But based on what's being said around the grapevine, the coaching staff does. And if KPJ can't be coached like a normal player, then what are we doing here? Sometimes we talk about him as if he was a top-5 pick and budding star. But he's not. He was the 30th pick, shoots poor, and turns the ball over at a high rate and has little composure. This isn't James Harden where you can excuse star coddling. We're talking about KPJ here. Just ridiculous that things are the way they are around here.

 

Go Wood go, and take KPJ with you!

 

Im Just curious. Who the heck defends Silas. I think he is pretty universally hated on this forum. Also who is to say having a smaller role would not have led to a meltdown?

 

LMAO

 

Antonio Brown Jr
@J.R.

 

Seriously who defends Silas. You said you all that makes it sound like a whole bunch of us do. I have really yet read a comment that says he is a good coach

 

Im not gonna give you a list if you dont see it then you dont im not interested in proving it to you or arguing about it.

 

Alright have a nice day. Be hard to come up with a list when one doesn't exist anyway. Wasn't looking for a argument was genuinely curious

 

Oh how quickly you change your opinion DD. The speculation of what actually took place is killing everyone here. KPJ has been hurt all year, they probably have something in place in regards to when he is practicing. Can't wait for them to just say what his suspension is and let us move past this.

 

Silas is the punching bag for everything and everyone but I doubt everything is his fault.

The FO seems to be hellbent on finishing the season with him so pile on him some more.

 

Yes he missed up big time and it seem like the end of his world but it’s not. He can and should recover from this. Maybe move to a 6 man role.

 

Remember JG was tweeting Rockets should free john wall. He obviously knows what that means for KPJ and I'm sure it's not personal but he knows he would have better numbers next to Wall

 

This is easy. Trade Wood. Make KPJ run second unit on 20mpg. Start Wall with Green. Have a vet that holds the young guns accountable since the coach is meek.

 

Both examples of toxic behavior that can destroy team chemistry. I think people see it like a relationship: you have the crazy passionate person that argues a lot and the passive-aggressive type that stops communicating. I think people see Cwood as further down the distractive path to the point of not caring anymore. KPJ still appears to care but has real mental roadblocks preventing him from channeling his passion properly.

I would also add that KPJ has acknowledged his issues ( even going so far as to say that Jalen should learn what to avoid by seeing how he acted), and with Wood it's like the opposite. Fiery guys like Artest still had love from his teammates because they knew him and his heart. Me-first dudes like Wood put up numbers but never really contribute to winning, they just happen to be on winning teams with clear alphas they are forced to defer to.

Rocket fans should just thank their lucky stars because if the lottery went a different way, we just had our only positives from last season implode in a single game. This was always Jalen and Segun's team, now we see if KPJ is part of that core and what we are able to get for Wood.
