KPJ: Can someone explain to me why he has become Clutchfans favorite whipping boy?

This!

Since their bench spat they've looked lost. They don't pass to each other. Look like they don't want to play with each other. Don't know what went down, but I sure as hell hope they can move on and come together. If it's all me ball, there's no team ball and the whole thing is a train wreck.

Hopefully tonight they right the ship.

 

It’s not on them. Hire a real coach Stoney!

 

That was terrible spacing by Sengun, Green was trying to beat his man and Sengun brings his defender into the paint...that was terrible positioning.

Lol always funny excuses to defend KPJ…

it’s a mismatch and easy 2 points for the team. Any legitimate PG would take benefit of that sequence.

Video proves how low his BBIQ is.

 

Green could not beat his man and had already given up on the play before Sengun came. On the other hand KPJ does not pass to Sengun to take a bad 3, but your narrative is KPJ cannot find a man to pass to and Sengun clogs the paint. Keep up the good work!.

 

KPJ isn’t my whipping boy, I’m just not sure if he’s better than a Spencer Dinwiddie type of player.

 

The first post up by Sengun was TERRIBLE he crowded the lane and brought his man with him when Jalen was trying to drive, that is not a good move....he should have stopped at the FT line for a 15 foot opportunity.

Sengun wants to post up every time, if he can stop at the FT line some times, and the players can utilize that, it will get better.

Sengun is not good enough to run everything through him, but we should be running a LOT through him, and let guards and forwards crash.

Right now the entire team is making the game harder than it has to be......Sengun is clogging paint when people want to drive, Sengun gets the ball in good position and people stand around and watch and don't back cut giving him an option of shooting or passing, Jabari stands around and doesn't move.....we just need a coach that can help all of this work, show the players how to work off each other and utilize each other's strenghts....when KPJ beats his man, back cut for him......give him a pass/shoot option.

We literally make the game harder - @JTGatlin had an interesting point, he suggested giving KPJ like 3-5 plays that he can CALL where people move etc, that reinforces his role as a PG and gets more people involved, which is what we need.

We need some ISO, some post up, some back cuts, some PNR, we need diversity.

I doubt they do that. Silas is doing as commanded. BUT if the chemistry continues to be a major problem, for the sake of the future of Bari and Green, they might want to throw the tank to the wind and bring in someone to balance this ish. You would think, as much as Lucas is known for working with players with issues that he'd see this and try to fix it, but so far, it's only getting worse. If the current trend continues, I imagine they'll make some changes. No clue what they'll be but yeah..

 

Hopefully Scooter doesnt lose another game by himself!

I don’t think you even believe the things you say lol. This is more like a piece of a screenwriter, full of fantasy.

 

That Is your whole takeaway from the clip? Jeezus christ and we have boobythegreat saying he doesn't see any kpj fans.

 

Sengun spends most of his time screening in the perimeter, and waiting for KPJ iso to finish trying to decide the moment to run back to d or chase a board. He does post-ups because that is the only role Silas can ever dream of using him, but it certainly does not warrant the word 'every time'.

Sengun want to post up all the time, Sengun wants the ball all the time, Sengun wants everything to run through him... Keep repeating these non-sense, I don't think there are any buyers left other than the KPJ stans because it is glaringly obvious that the problem is Silas and KPJ. Now that there are no buyers, you had to move to some new narrative. Let's see below:

What a paragraph. Sengun, Jabari making all the mistakes, and KPJ at the end appearing as the saviour who beats his man and cannot find a man to pass to because nobody is moving. God bless KPJ and DD fantasyland! Well, we are watching the games and see how he doesn't see the open guy or simply chooses to ignore the open guy. You want people to believe that a whole roster of nba players does not move rather than the guard does not pass.

 

rotation worthy - not: - borderline rotation

let’s leave it right here, agreeing to disagree on KPj.

 

Sengun was in motion and stopped at the top of the key. The defender was already in the paint and moved back into the restricted area. Sengun was freaking open!

Not saying JG should have passed to him in that position, but he only kept moving in Green's direction AFTER JG was closed out, probably to set a pick.

 

KPJ is doing ok. Yes his playmaking can be better, but overall he's improved his scoring PPS and played good defense most of the time. Just need him to set up the offense faster and repetition will help there.

The schedule is really tough till the 19th vs Indiana and I think we'll see the team flourish after that. The players should have understood the defense and offense by then. Coaches will have added a couple of layers and more movement to it. These guys are all being heavily tested in these games and if they can incrementally improve it will be worth it in the long run. It's a good wake up call for what they have to do to be good in the NBA.

I know it's clanky right now but the trio of Sengun, Green and KPJ are a really good fit together in terms of splitting playmaking responsibilities. Green and Sengun need a little more experience and they all need to share the ball better but it's a very promising trio. We should give them time to develop some chemistry. Jabari's game fits with them perfectly too.

 

I am trying to be nice to you because you are new here, but if you don't understand my post, then you should probably learn the NBA game a little bit before continue to take bites out of your own shoe.

We need a VARIED offense - one with multiple options, Post ups, Back Cuts, Screens, PnRs, off ball action, elbow extended passing....it makes the team very hard to prepare for when you don't know what they are running.

The Rockets right now are individuals we need more team oriented play - and we need a system.

KPJ is making a ton of mistakes, but he needs help, guys moving and presenting themselves as viable targets.....it is a yin/yang scenario.

I am sorry you don't understand the nuance of basketball.....

DD

 

yes he should have given him the ball at the FT line, taken one step out and back cutted to the goal.

DD

 

But it’s okay for there to be Sengun fans? The difference is that those who love KPJ don’t put him before the team, unlike the Sengun ONLY fans
