If there's one thing I've learned from KPJ, it's that keeping your dribble alive is so incredibly overrated. If my PG isn't dribbling into the heart of the defense, picking up the dribble without giving a second thought to what he's going to do next, I don't want it. - Coach Silas
Reeko[/USER] The Cowardly Lion speaks....if you think 10 games vs playoff competition mostly on the road equals a full season.....then you are as dumb as I thought. I predicted KPj: 20 pts...7.8 Ast...5.5 rebs...38% (3P%)...71% (FT%)....2.7 (TOV) Currently 19.2 pts..5.6 Ast...5.8 rebs..32.5% (3P%)..73.2% (FT%)..3.9 (TOV) So you act like the stats I predicted are mathematically an improbability even though the Rockets have faced : Bucks currently #2 in the East (road) Hawks currently #3 in East (road) Raps currently #6 in East (road) Blazers currently #1 in the West (road) Jazz currently #3 in the West (road) Grizz currently #4 in the West (home) Suns currently #5 in the West (road) Clippers currently #7 in the West (road) Clippers currently #7 in the West (home) Clippers currently #7 in the West (home) Pels currently #8 in the West (road) T Wolves currently #11 in the West (road) Jazz currently#3 in the West (home) [ win ] Magic currently #13 in the East (road) [ win ] There is a reason season averages are not just based on only road games; But I wouldn't expect a moron like you to understand that role players don't play as well on the road. Dip **** Your guy Brunson making $27.7M has these stats: Brunson: 19.5 pts...3.5 rebs...6.8 Ast...49.2% (FG%)...29.4% (3P%)...1.6 (TOV) KPj........: 19.2 pts...5.8 rebs...5.6 Ast...40.9% (FG%)...32.5% (3P%)...3.9 (TOV) Not much different if you ask me except Brunson has more experienced scoring weapons next him and KPj is only in his 2nd year as a full time PG. Brunson has been doing it longer. I'm not going to response to your idiotic comments. We can talk about season stats at the end of the season Dip S***......11 games do not make a full season. Maybe you will find your basket-BALLS by then?
Brunson - 9% TO rate, 59% TS, KPJ - 17.4% TO rate, 51.5% TS Apache looks at this and concludes.....not much different if you ask me! Never change my man
Switch rosters and let's see what you get. Brunson in Houston and KPj in NY. You have a hard time understanding spacing. Strength of schedule How a lob threat like Mitchell Robinson means a lot to KPj. Playoff teams tend to have top notch defenses Wait until the dust settles
imagine typing all that and still not saying a thing…literal paragraphs of bullsh*t time and time again embarrassing
There is no spacing with Sengun.....I posted how Julius Randall has averaged 1.8 touches in the paint.....this guy has been a post up monster in his career. If you watch the Rockets....they see no separation from their defenders (guys are just standing) as Green and KPj drive.....there is little to no outlets. What is Brunson going to do? Through through defenders. Only in your NBA2K when it's glitching bro. Knicks have had 7 home games and have feasted on the likes of: Det (home) Orl (home) Hornets (home) early struggling Phi (at) early struggling Nets (at) Det (home) OKC (home) There are some stat stuffing going on here vs this competition. Maybe let KPj face some of these teams before making judgement....or do you have an agenda?
Kpj doesn't fking lob the ball. He doesn't have it in his Arsenal like harden. The Bruno provides lob threat is just sht silas says to justify benching sengun. We had c wood last season and I don't recall kpj lobbing it
One player is going against a schedule from Hell..... the other player has faced many cupcakes. Stats will be skewed. M.I.T grad like you should know this. I take it back, stat nerds who never played the game think everything on paper is equal in value compared to everything else on paper. TS%, eFG%, 3P%..... *you think Brunson can't pick up his 3P% by seasons end? *You think KPj can't bring up his TS% by seasons end if Jabari starts hitting his shots *Jae Sean Tate who worked endlessly this summer to improve his 3-pt shot will hopefully play and help create space. If not, get separation from his defender and find an open spot on the floor. *Bruno won't come back and provide vertical spacing (like M Robinson) does for the Knicks? *You think 6'1" Brunson being forced to defend interior big men over time won't take a toll and develop injuries, ailments, fatigue and bring down some of his current stats? ___________________ There are a multitude of factors to consider; like the Rockets facing teams that are being plagued by injuries or tough back to backs. Drama or coaching changes may occur. Bringing up both team and individual stats. The agenda is getting KPj out of the way so Sengun can have more touches. Then you a-holes will turn on Jalen Green......trying to get him out of the way. I was told: Brunson is a real point guard......that's why they paid him $27.7M.......and they have a losing record of 6-7 while playing mostly cupcakes. Jordan Poole is a real point guard....that's why they paid him big money.....and they have a losing record. Everyone knows stats obtained in the first 12 games or so are sketched in stone. Book it as if those stats will be the season totals. M.i.T numbskull. Stats don't change huh!?! Just dumb!!
Of course it can change. The only thing is that kpj has been horrible for 3 years now and has been horrible so far this year, his 4th. Is it possible he turns it around? Of course, but as time goes on it gets less likely
I honestly feel like some kpj fans don't actually watch the whole game to see how sht and predictable our offense looks with kpj as our pg.
Honestly, KPJ is just a SF or 6th Man but not a point guard. This is his 4th year and 3 years trying to be a point guard. He is a talented NBA player and can score 20 points a night, play defense and rebound. But, he is not a point guard we are wasting our time. Gordon do not want to be here and Tate does not fit, we need to trade Gordon and Tate for a point guard. Somebody in the organization need to step up and tell KPJ the truth….you are not a point guard. He is good at catch and shoot, driving to the basket and has nice passing but he is not a PG
Ahhhh, but it was better last year right? Didn't it start bad and then got better? If it rains today and it rains tomorrow.....will it rain every day for the rest of the year? Yes, using your logic. KPj was just at 85% from the FT line about a week ago......all it takes is a couple of bad games to lower it......couple of good games to raise it in a small sample size of 14 games. You do know that 68 games remain? You don't mind if the team plays the rest of it's schedule? Do you? 14 games = stats ( < 68 games) vs 68 games = stats ( > than 14 games)...... [ carries more weight toward season avg ]
Such a fountain of knowledge! Talking about sample size and thinking that a player who shot 73.2% at the ft line on high volume last year, is more likely to sustain his 85% ft% over 10 games, than to get closer to last year's average. And advises us to be logical. Of course it is possible but definitely not a logical conclusion.
I used thát stat and small sample size to mock the poster. Probably one of the same dumb bunnies that said Jalen Green was a bust after 10 games last season. KPj first 14 games last year: 36.3% (FG%)....30.8% (3P%).....5.1 Ast........4.1 rebs Last 47 games of season: 42.9% (FG%)....39.1% (3P%)......6.5 Ast......4.4 rebs I've been doing this long enough to know.....not to use small sample size as a major story.
If he plays the way he does now, nobody will care if his numbers improve, well maybe you'll do. If he stops overdribbling, walking into 3 defenders and not pass the ball, starts to move the ball, more than half of the complaints here will go away before the next game is over. He doesn't need a season to correct anything, just a mindset change.
If he makes improvement from the first 14 games last yr to the final 47 games....this season(68 gms). All you Anti-Porter haters will be crying. First 14 games 21/22 to final 47 game increases: Pts.........rebs.....Asts.....TOV......3P%.......FG% +3.7.......+0.3.....+1.4.....--1.4......+8.3.......+6.6 That would put him at: Pts........rebs.....Asts.....TOV.....3P%.....FG% 19.2.......5.8.......5.6.......3.9......32.5.....40.9 [ àll current ] +3.7.......+.3......+1.4....--1.4.....+8.3.....+6.6 ___________________________________________ 22.9.......6.1.......7.0.......2.5........40.8.....47.5 Pts.......Rebs....Asts.....TOV.......3P%.....FG% My before season prediction: 20.0.......5.5.......7.8........2.7........38%.......45%
I tried telling people he’s a 6th man. If he can accept that role he will be great at it. If he won’t accept it then he’s gonna drop out of this league
