    its very important that people judge KPJ as a play maker and initiator of offense. We know KPJ can hoop. we know KPJ is a baller. KPJ has to get the other talent on the team to shine. There is a reason that Nix was in the game at one point. KPJ was on one... in a tunnel.

    there are levels to this, guys.

    Yeah but EVERYONE ran ISO all game, IMO the issue is Silas. This seems as if it's by design.

    They don't need to switch roles. Green first of all doesn't have the handles to do what KPJ does dribbling the air out of the ball. He's going to get stripped more often. He needs more time to refine his handle. But this isn't the type of offense we should run in the first place.

    They were 100 percent arguing about defensive rotations. I swear our guys get confused a lot over switches and picks.

    Silas is the presence of a bystander standing there smiling and not knowing what hit him.

    He took it upon himself to crash the boards early... 2nd half, the ball was like a wet football coming off the rim...

    As a person who still believes on KPJ, I think when I ignore his efficiency today I think this has been his worst game since we traded Wood. At no point did I think he was playing winning team ball. Again, I think he can out play his contract and be a stud but this he was really was feeling himself too much today.

    I agree. It is going to vary from game to game. I'd like to see more assists, but he is showing great improvement. Also who in the hell knows what Silas is telling him to do?

    I'm pretty sure KPJ initiated the Smith and Green argument, probably instigating all game..

    That’s right. KPJ is the source of all the team’s woes.

    Dude JC isn't even in the doghouse. He is in the spot where the doghouse hasn't even been built yet.

    My theory is Green has had some really bad defensive possessions this game and Jabari called him out. That's my assumption.

    If it was about KPJ Jabari would had hit him, KPJ was the one holding him back from going after Green, whatever it was it had to be about something else.
