    Especially C&S, no need to put ball on floor if open.

    Idk
    When kpj puts up this type of performance and we barely lose. Kinda hard to say stuff like this.

    If he can do this consistently every game, I can see myself accepting him play faux pg.

    I doubt we can get a 1st round pick by trading KPJ. His trade value is not high.

    I know he has talents, but people don’t have much confidence to develop those talents.

    What...what are you talking about? That is shifting the defense.

    Not really? KPJ and Green play really well off each other, I dont know what you are seeing.

    Draft Jabari Smith or Chet Holmgren, and let him play around KPJ? Imagine that... Not good.

    KPJ reason why this team SHOULD have beaten this healthy legit playoff team tonight.

    Not understanding the KPJ slander tonight of all games.

    2 straight 35+ point games and shooting over 40% from 3P in 4 of last 5 games.

    One of best box +/- tonight too.

    Only valid complaint to me is his lack of passing playmakin abilities. But if he score 30+ pts efficiently u can't hate that type of pg playstyle.

    Defense got tight and he falter at setting his team up it happens. Folks out here Wilding and complaining like kpj was bumming around playing like westbrick

    It is not that but growing pain I guess.

    Green, KPJ, Christopher are still gunning for stats , Green being the shy one.

    That might be the testament of guys like Garuba, Tate not being star caliber scorers.

    The PG thing yeah at this point it is more running point in a half court system without getting your pocket picked.

    Transition works just fine.

    I would also fire Silas first and see what a better coach could do with them.

    I've found myself complimenting KPJ lately.. I like that he's scoring and most of the time it looks easy for him... Still not down with the point guard experiment... But I'm down for 2 scoring guards in the backcourt IF they somehow bring in a steady floor general with tight handles as a backup... And let Sengun initiate the majority of the half court sets when they need to stop the bleeding ...

    He needs to be much more active off ball, like Steph and Reggie.

    Nurse is head and shoulders above Silas, unfair and an insult to even compare the 2.
