    At this point it’s 3 seasons plus the start of this season, how many years is a small sample size? We are in year 4 now, he’s not a rookie

    You think it's going to be fun to watch the Rockets play 20 win basketball every season for the next decade? I don't see how you can find any joy in watching Rockets fans' misery of watching a trash player crippling the franchise due to an inept front office.

    You do know that different positions have different roles and responsibilities.

    It's easier for Hinse Ward to go from wide receiver to tight end for the
    Pittsburgh Steelers than quarterback. You know this right? Disingenuous
    knucklehead.

    You are truly dense for acting this stupid.

    I'd rather be betting on the dog that put up
    19p/5.8r/5.6a/40.9FG%/32.5(3P%)/3.9TOV who has played against top
    notch teams on the road bringing up his stats

    over the dog that posted

    19.5p/3.5r/6.8a/49.2FG/29.4(3P%)/1.6TOV vs cupcakes mostly at home.bringing
    up his stats.

    I'm shocked KPj is already near 20 pts per game vs kick you in the groin competition
    on the road.....I expected him at 16 points during this stretch of games.

    Chances are most of KPj's stats will be trending up as we start facing some
    of these cupcakes....but you keep clinging to the first 14 games stats and your
    agenda.

    Whatever you have to tell yourself to get you through your day. Fool.

    @ApacheWarrior --- its time to let everyone see what a "real" PG can do. Asking for context amidst a mob is pointless or expecting foresight when the wanted conclusion has already been reached. Let Nix run this thing for a few games. Let TyTy go in there and run it, guys who have been PGs all their lives. You will see how it shifts from "WE never said a real/true PG was mandatory only that it be anyone but KPJ" :D:D:D. Stone/Silas should let Scooters "ankle injury" rest for a couple weeks ;) and see where the team goes in that time.

    First 14 games AND his first 3 seasons as well. Maybe he will bring those numbers up (i also couldn’t care less about ppg and crap like that, those superficial stats don’t matter at all). History just says that he won’t

    No doubt.

    Knicks opponent w/l record: 96 wins / 105 losses
    Rockets opponent w/l record: 116 wins / 87 losses

    Rockets have 4 home games to 10 road games....Knicks 7 and 7.

    KPj has struggled with traveling being stressed by these refs lately.

    Orlando was calling everything.

    Toronto had the ice under the court. Eric slipped at half court and was
    called for traveling. Court was slippery.

    Pels the refs called him for at least two traveling calls. One looked non existent.
    Porter was doing fine vs McCollum but Herbert Jones and Alvarado are pests.
    ________________
    This is where I want these clown to define "Real Point Guard"
    because I belief these new and improved pass happy teams
    are doing it with less, "Real Point Guards"

    Steph Curry got 6.3 assists last year while KPj had 6.2.
    Steph is getting 6.3 this year. Poole 4.0 assists last year
    and 4.3 this year.

    Marcus Smart had 5.9 last year......7.1 this year. You see, the Celtics
    let Smart grow into that role. CF's don't want to let Porter do the same.

    Warriors have
    Draymond Green 7.0 assist last year
    Celtics have
    Jayson Tatum 4.4 assists last year and Jaylen Brown 3.7 assist last year.
    _____________
    I expected Jalen Green to have more drives this season with KPj off the
    ball. I believe that was the plan but Josh Christopher hasn't been up to
    par this year because he was a "black hole"

    But I see Jalen Green doing better lately. KPj will be able to have that off guard
    role more and hit more CnS 3's.

    People need to understand that the Toyota Center rims are tighter than most arenas
    and there needs to be a small print disclaimer like the side view mirrors (on a car)....
    objects may be further than they appear. The depth perception in the TC arena
    has always been an issue. It played fits with Ryan Anderson his whole time with
    Houston.

    Players like Steph, Klay, Beal, Booker, Korver, etc know that you have to shoot
    a few inches further than you normally perceive the rim. So when the Rockets
    beat Utah at home it was ugly but a win.....then we went there and I saw Jalen and
    KPj back rim everything. Jabari is having fits. He will have to learn to take advantage
    of shoot-around to take in the different arena back grounds....... especially when
    back home in Houston. Shoot a little deeper. I would also like Jabari to add about
    3 more inches of arc to his shot.

    Bruno will come back and give us some rim protection and toughness for
    about 24 minutes a game.

    Tate will come back; gave us about 3.5 assists in the two games he has
    played (on a gimpy ankle).

    This schedule was meant to demoralize these young kids spirits.....but I think
    they have more fight than the league understands. What doesn't kill them
    will make them stronger. Things will sort themselves out. Silas may not
    survive it though......I mentioned before the season that the schedule
    was brutal. CF's would be up in arms and insisting on the coach being fired.
    Warriors are 0-8 on the road....they are glad they don't have the Rockets
    schedule of living out of a suitcase for 10 of their first 14 games.

    We've discussed this many times already

    basketball-reference.com shows KPj as a:
    SF in year 1
    SG in year 2
    PG last year (3)
    PG this year (4)

    Cade Cunningham has poorer numbers in the same time both are
    playing PG in the greatest league of all....the NBA.

    Suggs also is just learning PG in the NBA.

    Fultz has been learning PG in the NBA for several years.

    Instant success and to be a perfect PG specimen at his stage
    of his pG existence is just unfounded and dumb. It's not to be
    expected. KPj is best in PnR with a lob threat......we (Rockets)
    have not provided that for this year and last.

    Favors was suppose to do that until the trade deadline but I'm guessing he
    refused to report. He said he no, I don't want any part of that rebuild.
    He is sitting at home doing nothing I guess. Favors is not a lob threat
    but he pushes people around to create windows that Alp doesn't.
    Or Alp pushes to hard and gets called for the foul. Tricks of the trade.

    WCS is another one. Silas had him in Dallas and was a lob threat.
    Mavs did not use him much last season. Rockets hope stint in G-league
    can revive his career. That would help KPj. Right now you have a defender
    half way between Jabari and the next shooter. Sengun left open at the 3.
    So the only sure outlet kickout open every play is Sengun. Both KPj
    and Green to recognize Sengun is open when they drive and get in trouble.
    Then they reset the play.....because Sengun is scared to shoot the 3.
    He is out there 30 feet from the basket pump faking with no one within
    10 feet of Sengun. Lol. Clown stuff.

    It will be not much fun watching KPJ run the offense into a ditch and then get upset and frustrated - it's painful to watch now.

    There is a pattern developing with that guy

    Make pretty outrageous claim
    Outrageous claim is thoroughly debunked
    Explain in great detail with mostly opinion and little fact how that outrageous claim would be true if coaching/teammates/schedule/refereeing were different and if you don’t understand that you are dumb/a fool/etc…

    yup…typing paragraphs of nonsense, then once u sift through all the bullsh*t, u see that there’s barely a single sentence worth of substance if that

    typing paragraphs and copy pasting some badly formatted bball ref isn’t gonna trick people into thinking u know what you’re talking about

    How many lobs did KPJ throw to C. Wood, hell how many lobs do u think KPJ have done in general? Man doesn't have it in his arsenal, sure he can do it once every few games, it's not something he can use to get easy bucket or even something he can do comfortably.
    Man can't even utilize PNR correctly, u expect me to believe he can lob balls to bruno?

    Bruno being a lob threat for KPJ is just a lame a$$ excuse to bench sengun.
    Literally no point in being a lob threat, if KPJ can't utilize it.

    So Brunson shooting efficiently on a .500 team was worth 104Ms with similar accounting stats to Satan Porter Jr?? Sheeesh!

    Stone you magnificent b*stard!

    U need to learn how to read. I'm not questioning Bruno being a lob threat, I'm doubting the point of having one if kpj can't even utilize a pnr properly. U expect us to see kpj spam lobs like harden? Yea get that sht out of here and don't bother responding. Your reading comprehension needs work.
