    How can your PG have by far the worst body language on a team that also features Christian Wood?

    I was a huge KPJ supporter. After today.. I think this is the game he "Lost Houston". That attitude is just cancerous. I hope he gets help. I hope he finds peace. His attitude right now though is detrimental towards everything we are trying to build.
    I truly believe if his head was on right he is the most talented player on our roster. However talent isn't the only thing required to succeed.

    Porter is right. Batman and Joker. That's how well they play together. Definitely not in the same page of this comic. SMFH

    As bad as he played today, he still outplayed Green.

    It’s not just numbers though.

    KPJ is a talented player that can put up numbers… it’s that he’s a cancer

    Didn't you love to point out +/- numbers earlier when it was JG with the -20 games?

    Could you tell me what the +/- was for KPJ?

    Honestly I don’t think anyone will give us any assets for him.

    Maybe a 2nd

    Seriously where's my plus minus boys at. As soon as Green left the game the Rockets fell to pieces of pieces.

    Green having a bad shooting low efficiency night in limited minutes, low usage is a different thing than the total KPJ Fukushima dome meltdown.

    tbh his low point for me was actually just a few days ago on that celebrated pass to himself for the dunk. because this selfish f’n scrub had not one but two teammates already ahead of him downcourt, and as the “point guard” he opted to get himself the bucket instead

    The best predictor of a person's future behavior is looking at his past behavior.

    I disagree that this makes the FO inept as you said. That's an overreaction IMO.

    Nix got a 4 year contract while KPJ has one year left.

    The ineptitude is not based on KPJ alone. It's trading away Allen and Levert for returns way below their worth. It's resigning David Nwaba in the offseason for no reason. It's signing Daniel Theis to a long term contract when he has zero fit with this team. It's failing to trade EG for a FRP when the offer was on the table. It's holding on to House even when he was no longer a fit and waiting for his value to literally be erased to the point where we couldn't get a return. It's trading Oladipo for nothing. It's playing Nwaba and Dennis Schroder minutes that should be given to rookies during blowouts. This is just the latest domino.

    As someone who used to read DC, some of the story arcs for the Joker is pretty dark. He may think it's cool to throw that comparison, the Joker crazy is not something anyone want to be aspire to.

    KPJ is not worth the investment. Not a guy the team and fans should count on. I don't have any ill will, hope he lives a healthy fulfilling life, but this guy can do so away from our team. The longer Stone keeps him around, the more I'm losing faith at a GM's judgement of character.

    If I own a billion dollar franchise, last thing I want is have one of my supposed "faces of the franchise" be a loose canon, people walk egg shells around him, where if the dude has a mental breakdown, you wonder if he's going to burn Toyota Center down.

    "I hope he gets help. I hope he finds peace." Same. I just hope it's elsewhere. This is the NBA and we are a basketball team. Not to be callous, but our primary concern here is developing this team and setting them up for future success, not personal rehabilitation.

    Green was due for a dud. Not like our coach or pg make a point to help him out.
