    What is the point of Kevin Porter Jr. people use to complain about Harden dribbling. At least Harden got buckets after he dribbled. KPJ is just dribbling and fumbling around. His finishing at the rim is terrible.

    Maaaan....

    I been saying this the whole time too but people think i'm 'anti-tank' I'm just anti relying on it as some surefire tactic. We better hit on our next guy if we're lucky to be drafting top 3 this time. We can't miss on that guy or else it really might be a cycle of suck.

    It’s getting real tough watching this garbage… I can’t believe I’m saying this but I might just become a box score watcher for now until there’s some fundamental changes on this team because I can’t keep raising my blood pressure by watching this shitshow

    Just want to point out for folks saying one guard sucks the other is great.

    Right now

    Both KPJ and Green are:

    3-10 overall
    1-6 on 3pters

    Green is 3-4 on FTs
    Porter is 2-4

    Porter has 8 assists and 3 turnovers
    Green has 3 assists and 1 turnover

    Porter has 6 rebounds
    Green has 2 rebounds

    Both are MINUS 18 and 26 minutes played.

    So, this painful experience will continue - as both of them are learning to play the NBA game.

    And, notice, I didn't mention defense as they have both been pretty damned bad on D.

    Porters stats are worse this year across the board. More turnovers, less assists, shooting down and knucklehead moments up as well.

    That's the problem with being ok with sucking/tanking, it carries on and on and on and on. That's why no successful teams do prolonged tanks, you have to try to be competitive. This not caring about sucking **** only leads to more sucking.

    Green manages to hit the open man in the corner as often as Porter on about 1/4 as many touches.

    It's madness. I don't care if he misses every layup, but the best creator has to sit in the corner while Porter feeds Wood for the emptiest 20-20 games (20 points while down 20) you'll ever see.

    He’s unselfish to a fault on this team. Everyone around him is looking out for themselves. The culture on this team right now isn’t great.

    I love KPJ, man I still think he has a future in this league. But he’s not it at PG, I don’t care how many assists he has tonight. Anyone actually watching, can see this. We are forcing a square peg into a round hole.
