    "There are times when KPJ will get off the ball more than what is warranted..."

    You can not make this **** up. I'm sorry, this is simply absurd. How an NBA head coach can come to this conclusion after watching KPJ courtside game after game, and after being presented with the numbers by our analytics team, blows my mind.

    We are doomed. :eek::D



    The man appears to be actively campaigning for Jabari Smith and Alperen Sengun to take a step back, while KPJ takes more shots. GTFO... Waiting for our company men reporters to ask a tough question.

    Most of what the majority of the crowd that pathologically dislikes KPJ wine about is him doing what his coaches and teammates ask him to do.

    KPJ is talented but a true ball hog and a ball stopper and plays too much damn ISO-ball. There were countless of times Jabari smith was wide open for the three and his ass would still play iso-hero ball. I rather trade his selfish ass, sell high and build around Green, Jabari and Eason as the corner stone pieces.

    Please tell me this is sarcasm. He is at his best when he is playing off ball.

    I'm not pro Silas, but he implied that KPJ should pass the ball more before the latter statement. I disagree with him that we don't have a punch off the bench. Josh will regain his confidence if Gary's minutes go to him. Some of EG's minutes should go to him too.

    I absolutely adore KPJ. Got to kick it with him some in Vegas at SL.

    This post is about how we use him.

    I wonder if trading KPJ means Silas quits.... Then Stone can hire a real coach this time around...

    "There are times when KPJ will get off the ball more than what is warranted..."

    Respectfully, this quote is indefensible for me. I could not think about the game of basketball more differently than what Silas is putting forward here.

    What I’d do for Rick Adelman right now.

    And you are absolutely right. Anyone targeting KPJ should actually be targeting Stephen Silas and John Lucas for how they are using him. KPJ has been super mature and playing damn near to the best of his abilities, just not in spots where he and the Rockets will be successful.

    KPJ is baby Westbrook meaning he puts up empty stats. He's not a player you win with.

    Silas loves KPJ too much, you saw how he was crying when KPJ got his extension?

    No one is "targeting" KPJ.
