    Which can work. As long as he is scoring efficiently and we r winning. U can ignore the lack of assists.

    KPJ is a good player with a lot of talent - he’s not a point guard

    Unless the pass is a drop off from penetration or a guy wide open from 3… he doesn’t create for others

    If he's a great scorer than that will open up his passing. You guys have to get out of this "traditional" point guard mind set.

    that bailing on the team is still in the back of my head, man.. He has a long way to go for me to trust him. KPJ always looks like he is on the verge of imploding.

    At what age do hula hoopers typically retire? Asking for a friend who's sitting with me watching this incredible halftime show.

    I would rather watch Severo than the crappy (and most important, free) elementary child labor halftime entertainment he trots out for paying customers. Shameful.

    It’s Westbrook like. Penetrate and drop off ajd that’s it.

    I want a PG who can probe and shift the defense

    I'm not going to blame Jalen not scoring this game on KPJ.

    The blame goes in two directions. Green can be too passive sometimes.

    And Silas does not have a freaking clue how to utilize someone like Green. Green makes explosive off ball moves. He can rise up and make quick catch and shoot jump shots from all around the floor coming off curls. But none of those actions happen.

    Green has to find other ways to get the ball than just getting it dumbed to him at the top of the 3 pt line with absolutely **** spacing on this team. When he gets the ball like that his teammates are never clearing out and are always taking up space. KPJ especially will stay by Green when he gets the ball expecting the ball back rather than clearing out for him.

    So if you want Green to get better looks you have to either actually let him iso which means actually clearing out and creating space or create set plays where he gets free off screens off the dribble for mid range and 3 pt jump shots or cuts to the basket.

    Anything is better than the halftime garbage Tilfart trots out. Cheap and low quality, just like his restaurants and other business dealings.

    So I guess we are destined for another "your turn, my turn offense"?

    That’s why it’s so exciting

    He’ll either grow up or be out of the league. I’m just imagining him at 25 & Jalen at 24 and can’t help but to smile

    So what if we aren't? You think KPJ is the first option on a championship team?

    Or do you think he'll accept the roll of 6th man?

    Or are we doing "your turn, my turn" offense again?

    Like I get complaints of lack of alley oops or other passes that shows kpj lack of creative play making abilities, but complaining cause green isn't getting the ball while we r still up is just being weird.

    Kpj is shooting it very well. It's a team game.
    Green can have off days.

    I can't wait until next season when we can pick up Dwight Howard for cheap, trade for Harden when he wants out of Philly and look to sign McHale as a coach. Finally, we'll be unstoppable!
