Nets fire Nash….

 

Porter will make a good play as a point and for a moment you might think he's finally "getting it" at the one, and then he'll turn around and make a "hero" play, driving into the teeth of their defense around the post. Sometimes it works, often it doesn't. He's not consistent. It's not like he's a rookie, much less in his 2nd year, either.

Yeah, it's frustrating. I think he's better as an off-guard/6th man and don't see him as a long-term solution as our starting point at all. Talented, for sure, not without risk with his history, but we should be looking for a young starting point guard, in my opinion. Either in the upcoming draft, or by trade.

About time. Bad hire, in my opinion, but a nice guy.

 

We have talent on this team, we will have our backcourt with both guys averaging 20 points a game. Our Center, Sengun will average 20 points and 10 rebounds a game as soon as Silas, and Porter and Jalen start passing the ball to him. Gordon is a efficient shooter and average around 15 points a game. Tari and Jabari are very good defensive players. We have improved from last year such as turnovers, rebounding and scoring.

 

Yeah... I think you've misread the original! Or perhaps assumed intent behind it?

 

I read it, it was inaccurate.

 

LMAO

 

KPJ is Harden without the decision-making ability, which is kind of Harden’s most important skill.

 

Or the vision, handles, or scoring ability. That being said, he is a better perimeter defender while Harden is a better post defender.

 

Never wanted him to begin with but had to give him a chance, he was forced upon us by the front office and owner.

I remember that when he first arrived he was massively endorsed and sugar-coated.

 

Missed the game last night but just caught the last 5 minutes on a replay.

PG was awesome. That 3 and then the fadeaway he hit were ridiculous. I can't fault EG at all for his defense because he did better than anyone else on our team would have.

We obviously didn't execute on our second to last play so that sucked. Our final play was decent; could have been better but it wasn't horrible.

 

Exactly!

 

Simply, KPJ is poor man’s Harden. Many fans miss Harden a lot so Stone decided to sign an inferior one resembling him. Not for winning games but just it’s part of the business.
