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

The amount of blame shifting you do with KPJ is incredible.

 

Not the only one.

 

When you enter a one-way street from the wrong end, it looks like everybody is going in the wrong direction.

 

My hope is that KPJ strives for that kind of state line he had last night. Perfect amount of scoring and passing. That way Green and his teammates wont mind making the extra pass cause they know they will get another chance at it.

 

You have a limited vision and knowledge of this sport. What does it matter that KPJ had 11 assists? In your opinion, Westbrook (he had 10 assists against the Cavaliers) is a good guard, too.
No one has mentioned Paul, no one. I'm just saying that this team needs a creator who has more collective sense of the game, better vision of the field and better defensive qualities. Again… KPJ is not a PG.

 

It's funny how you focus on my first point (the assists total) and not my latter (that the offense is stagnant without him). But hey, people like you get so blinded by searching for a scapegoat that they refuse to see reality.

 

You should try to read the messages carefully before replying one. This team's offense is stuck with or without KPJ. No one is looking for a scapegoat, I clearly expressed that KPJ is not guilty for playing in a position that he does not know and for which he has no natural conditions. Learn to read please!
You talk about blindness and you can't even read a message well.

 

The offense is stagnant with KPJ as pg. I do not know what games you have been watching.

The first 8 games, it's literally been the KPJ harden impersonation show. Only the last few games it's noted that he been trying to pass the ball more. Sengun is the one that if taken out the offense would basically be isos.

It is tru that the pure pg position is outdated, but KPJ as pg has to score a lot more and consistent to remain the starting pg. He has poor court vision and basic play making abilites, he needs higher scoring games to compensate for it.

 

He plays like a Harden that can’t draw as many fouls so less crafty version

 

We have one of the worst offenses in the league. We’re bad when KPJ is on the floor and we’re bad when he’s off the floor.

Through first 11 games

Houston Overall Offensive Rating : 108.4
Houston Offensive Rating w/KPJ on the floor : 107.6

 

He plays like Harden if Harden swapped brains with JR Smith. In additional to being an efficient ISO scorer, he was also a great finisher and playmaker. KPJ is like none of those things.

 

Distributed the ball much better compared to previous games so finally a sign of progress from him. I want him to keep playing this way; less dribbles, less shots and more ball movement.

please less turnovers KPJ. 7 was too much.

 

It's not even that 7 is too much, it's HOW those TOs occurred. At least 3 of them occurred late in the 4th and in some of the dumbest of ways:

• Up and down while not even remotely close to the half court line. Like what the hell was that? You pick up your dribble and jump because you are shooting or to get a better passing angle. You don't ever do it without a plan. That's not even PG 101. That's just Basketball 101.
• Catches the ball and then immediately gets stripped by the guy he KNEW was there because he was just looking at him. The job of any primary ball handler is to ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF THE BALL, especially when you are trying to close out a game.
• Then there was the cross half-court pass through the ENTIRE Magic team. Ironically, this was probably his most excusable boneheaded pass as you can tell he was trying to whip it to Green. Problem is, there were way too many bodies and the window was too small for him to even think that was OK.

Just like that, 3 boneheaded TOs deep into the 4th when the opposing team is mounting a comeback.

Now, that's not to say he played bad or didn't make any good passes. There were quite a few instances where he stopped and reset the offense and others where he looked for the open man knowing there was one. Those are really good signs and hopefully actual progress by him.

 

Somewhat expected though since the Rockets are going from KPJ to Daishen Nix.

 

Very disrespectful to Harden. Difference in between is like massive, no comparison at all.

 

Certainly doesn't seem like KPJ doesn't like Alpi. And Tari and Alpi constantly like each other's stuff, I think they are close.

 

Did you miss the 7 turnovers?

 

There are people who think the notion that KPJ isn’t a PG is invalid because he had 11 assists the other night? For real?

 

What is with the drama fan fic some of the sengun folks like to b spinning. KPJ commented on this same exact post (AL P Bebeeeee), u literally can see it right there, underneath Sengun post.

Not liking it doesn't mean what u are insinuating. It's not like u can even feign ignorance, KPJ cared about sengun enough to comment on it. Doesn't like Sengun, how can anyone hate on sengun right now?

 

Did you not understand my post?
