    He doesn’t have the handles or the vision either. Would be a downgrade from KP.

    Can't believe how well Wood used all that height to dominate the boards

    Give Wood some credit here. He looks like the only one who's hustling on both ends of the floor down 30.

    JG played bad defense tonight. Point me to one player that played good defense though. I’ll wait. Everybody out here getting scored on at will. So at what point is some of this on the defensive scheme?

    Has nothing to do with the player - has everything to do with -"DD decides something is true regardless of whether or not its true and is just going to repeat it into existence" without bothering to actually check.

    Obviously you don't like Green - you issue negative prophecies about him all the time -

    "his jumpshot is not nba level!" (hits 7 three pointers vs Celtics 3 hours later)

    "He should come off the bench this team is jelling too well without him" (team loses 6 of 8, then Green comes back and scores 24 in 20 min)

    "Yeah his offense is good but his defense sheesh" (Rockets are worst defense in NBA with or without Green)

    It's boring sir. You are boring people

    A team with Christian Wood on it can't be good. He can't defend in space and can't defend at the rim. He can't shoot. He has no offensive depth. If he's on your team what the hell does he do?

    He's like....the absolute worst type of NBA player.

    He steps up constantly to stop the drive - the wings are NOT closing down to his man - and we are getting dunked on because of it....Gordon, Green and KPJ should be rotating....but they aren't.

    This is the worst defense we have played all year against a team who should struggle offensively without their top two offensive players. I don't get it.. Players getting frustrated and giving up? We are not THIS bad.

    not paying attention only checking in sporadically. I’m guessing deserves its own thread

    What is happening now is what happens when this guy is the best player on your team. Or thinks he is and plays like he is anyway

    Ok, then - I see you avoided answering.

    But whatever.

    Green's defense sucks because he can't rotate or doesn't understand where he should rotate. His O is fine, he is really getting there, but his D is putrid, his man hit like what FOUR wide open 3pters in the first quarter?

    And you want boring, look at all the "GREEN needs the ball every possession" people, or the get rid of KPJ because he is not giving Green the ball?

    Talk about boring....

    But yeah, he is fine.

    He's going to blame the team. "I thought they moved well but they got stagnant"
