    KPJ should recognize who our best scorer is and give him the ball. KPJ himself had more terrible contested step back three attempts than Green had total shots in the 4th.

    it’s so infuriating…he dribbles it up so slowly and if he doesn’t turn it over, he eventually gets it to a guard after wasting half the shot clock…u could’ve just let the guard dribble it up like he’s supposed to and saved everyone some time

    Lol says the one that was bashing a rookie all season long to get over his pining for a rookie on another team.

    Does green still need a few years to b a NBA Caliber player?

    We have a rookie who could easily drop 20 pts per game.

    But we still play around KPJ and Wood.

    I don’t understand.

    This fan base is going to be divided on KPJ and green pair until kpj is gone, if @D-rock acknowledges kpj talent he is worth keeping.. he was still one of the few people on here who said we should get Mobley and he was correct

    Yes, I bashed a rookie by saying they were playing poorly when they were playing like the worst player in the league. Then when he played well, I said he played well.

    How terrible.

    It's much better to just pretend that isn't happening.....while blaming everyone and everything else for it.....then attack anyone and everyone that plays well.

    LOL, you player only fans are legitimately hilarious.

    at 1st the rationale was that a decision on KPJr is coming soon, and Green is just a rookie, so let’s let KPJr do his thing and see what he’s got, but at this point, start grooming Green to be the #1 option, we already have enough info on Porter

    Why did the third quarter wait until the end of the fourth quarter to third quarter us?

    It’s not our fault that you miss the obvious truth that rookies take time to develop and get acclimated to the league. Him improving is not a surprise if you trust your talent evaluation. You don’t evaluate rookies as they are, you evaluate based on showing flashes. Now, 3rd year players like KPJ that regress is a big red flag, especially ones that got kicked off their previous team.

    Decently entertaining and somewhat competitive.

    Green looks really good

    Sengun doing sengun things

    KJ with the long dribble dunk was noice.

    Wood had some nice moments.

    This fan base doesn't really like KPJ except for Booby.

    Most of the fan base like Jalen because he's improving and isn't a head case. Booby likes it to be about Green and KPJ, but in reality people have had issues with KPJ before Green was even drafted.

    I personally had a lot of hope for KPJ last season but his play this year has really left me disappointed.

    Nah, the fanbase isn't divided.

    Rockets fans like both of our young guards.

    Green's toxic player only fanbase are incredibly loud and will never stop attacking anyone and everyone on the roster or coaching staff that isn't their idol.

    At some point, everyone will just have to laugh at the Green fanbois and move on. It's just impossible to take them seriously when they act up like this.

    Nah, it seems that KPJ is a little envious of Jalen Green and his media exposure. This will either motivate his improvement or get traded due to jacking.
    I don't think Tate is selfish.

    Sengun would be starting getting 25-30 mpg if Stone had traded Wood at the deadline…

    Why not play Bruno? Sengun is really undersized and often depends on flopping.

    I hate on KPJ a lot, but I dont think KPJ is envious of Jalen. They are friends. KPJ just doesn't play the brand of bball I like to watch.

    How I wish he had. I spend far too much time while watching the games pissed off at Wood. I get frustrated with KPJ, but not pissed off. Green should be getting more touches, more shots. He took 15 shots tonight. To someone looking at the box score, they might think that's a decent number. It's not. He should have gotten 10 more, in my opinion.

    Great game by both KPJ and Green.

    Green UBER efficient scoring.
    KPJ with 8 dimes - and efficient scoring
