    Last minute and a half of the game Wood just decides to go on a stat padding tour of the west. I hate it, and I want him out of here ASAP

    It’s cute how you think Wood and KPJ are different styles of players. Both guys are ballhogs, take bad shots, and make bad decisions. In other words, they are losing type of players with somewhat pretty stats.

    saw someone calling Tate selfish

    I wouldn’t call Tate selfish…he’s just a guy with minimal court vision who likes to dribble the ball

    A guy like Wood on the other hand?

    Why does this mofo still try to dribble the ball up the court?

    Imagine if Stone actually re-signed this troll…I would have heart palpitations and shortness of breath the 2nd Wood put pen to paper…I’d sue

    Well now we know Green can be a very consistent bucket getter against any defense in the league.

    If he had the chance to, he'd probably prefer playing garbage time for 48 minutes. Weak defense, no one really cares if he scores or ballhogs.

    Perfect for a guy like him.

    Man he has the most unimpressive 20PTS double doubles I've ever seen.

    Well, Rockets seem to play pretty good defense on Green.

    How can we still allow KPJ to play as PG.
    He is not that material at all! Does he know what is PG?

    What's strange is to see a number like 7 assists and assume that means you are a good point guard. Especially in today's league, being as ball dominant as he is, 7 assists can come from one pass on the perimeter, and a guy hitting a contested 3.

    Kevin Porter is not only ball dominant, he's a ball stopper, which is the opposite of what a point guard should be. He never generates assists off drive and kick, never runs any offensive sets, always fumbles the ball when driving, and makes inexplicably bad passes that should be routine. The only way you can be a PG that is as much of a black hole as he is, is to have the offensive talent of James Harden, which he doesn't have, and will never have.

    Stats accumulation as the primary trigger man.

    Anyways

    Not mad at how he played. It was acceptable. I just really want to know what’s up with his lack of explosiveness and elevation at the rim. I love his spot up shooting now and he’s crafty with the ball, but almost everything he does is trying to get back to a jumpshot instead of going to the basket. When he does go, it’s hella awkward and he throws up hot garbage. He got bailed out on that Cameron Payne foul. Jaden Ivey puts pain on Payne right there and puts his ass in the basket.

    I think it's a silas coaching problem.
    I don't think we run set plays, that and kpj lack of court vision

    If Green's projection is a sexier Booker, sign me up. Why don't more people like Booker.
    It wouldn't hurt for the officials to blow the whistle every now and then.

    The play where he dribbled himself into a corner instead of letting a guard bring the ball up almost made me pull out my mustache hairs. I just don’t understand what goes through his head. Give the ball to someone who can actually dribble and run to the basket, Wood!

    LOL you crazy kids are adorable. All the unintentional comedy you bring with your irrational hatred really does make this tanking season better.

    You spent half the season making excuses for the poor performance of a certain player....now that he's playing better, you spend all of your time trying to bash every other Rockets player that has a good game and make excuses for why those good games aren't good.

    It'll be amazing next season watching the new crop of player only fans interact with the current player only fans.
