    I never said any of those things were not true.

    My question is why do you HATE him because he threw a towel (not a bullet) and some food at a couple of grown men (not children)?

    Do you even know if Kobe or Steph ever threw a towel (a towel, we talking about a towel) at a coach?

    So he has some anger issues he needs to address, but who doesn't?
    We just see his in the front row because of the media.

    I'm sure you would have really HATED Vernon or Calvin in there day.

    Well, no.

    I also hate him for the 2,934 times so far this season he's made a mistake on the court, and sulked instead of turning around and running back to help his teammates.

    Funny, don't recall it being a towel he tossed at his head coach all because his locker was moved.

    Imagine office workers tossing their keyboards at their boss because they've been relocated desks to accommodate a new person hahahaha.

    There are several reasons why I flat out don't like him. And will never cheer for him.

    "so he has some anger issues" Good lord. Like I said. Tilman brought this franchise down so, so, so far he's got you cheering for and excusing nut jobs.

    I grew up cheering for Vernon Maxwell and I knew he was a nut job before he even ran into the stands. Can't blame Tilman for that one.

    I'm just a diehard Rockets fan that don't HATE anyone.

    Thank you for rephrasing this time to "flat out don't like", that I can understand.

    I think on this forum and in sports in general hate means disrespect.

    I never liked that word anyway and what it entailed.

    The line between hate and criticism is thin around here.

    Amen.

    Case in point, I went back and erased much of a response due to what it morphed into.

    Hate & anger are contagious.

    So is Love though. And, THAT is what this life's all about.

    Peace to you @Downtown Sniper

    I think the one thing that we all share is that we LOVE the Houston Rockets--so whatever disagreements we have, no matter how ugly it gets, we have that common ground, at least.

    I mean ****, I bet if I met anybody on here in real life I'd buy them a drink and talk Rockets until my face turns blue. No shame in that :p

    Well, Lebron and Durant and the office staff beg to differ, but what would they know

    KPJ is playing well on both ends of the court right now. I hope he can sustain this.

    He has the most shooting attempts on many nights, lmao.

    I doubt he is the Number 1 option.

    The team is just figuring itself out.

    Need to see this for the remainder of the season to put stock in the numbers but this is what I've been hoping for from KPJ. Keep it up!

    17 - 18 points, 6 assists, good defense, nice efficiency?

    Sounds a lot like Jrue Holiday.

    He stopped walking into double and triple teams to lose the ball. That is a huge improvement. He is more patient and more willing to pass as well. A lot of positives. His defense is solid. If he starts running back to defense after missed attempts, I will be quite satisfied (and surprised) with the improvement in a short time frame.

    Was on a biz trip this week so missed a couple of games, but last night Scoot looks like he's figured some things out...

    - Reduced senseless turnovers (only remember once where he got caught in the air and threw it away)
    - Making the easy pass to the open man
    - Playing relentless defense on one of the games best players
    - Using his anticipation/athletic ability to be a menace

    He still needs to work on a floater and finishing near the basket. Obviously I'm just evaluating this against GS game, will try to go back and watch UTH, but this is encouraging. Green on the other hand has some work to do.
