    Not gonna pretend I’m an analytics guy or advanced stats guy but this is hilarious coming from him. :D

    Fans don’t look deeply enough to understand what is going on…says the guy that looks at PPG/ASTS/REBS.

    “19/6/6, he’s great! That’s pretty good!”

    *countless people have tried to explain him*
    “Who cares about TS%?! Who cares about efficiency?! Who cares?! 19/6/6!”

    Sums it up well.

    Any current 'hate' towards any specific player needs to be put on the backburner with the sole focus of the ire directed squarely at Silas and this cartoonish cast of assistants. Yeah, he's a tremendously nice guy. He seems to be immune to aging. The players profess their respect for him... but in terms of on-the-court stuff, he seems clueless. I don't know how ugly the record has to get for them to finally look elsewhere (the team isn't some great product, but it has the talent to win more than TWO f***ing games in 14... with no end to the misery in sight. Don't give me that 'the schedule is brutal!!' crap, either. They should have won several of these first collection of games but were steered off a cliff. How often are we going to point the finger at early-20 yo's given the keys to the car with ZERO direction?! And at this point, who of quality is out there that would even consider taking on this years'-away project?

    KPJ will be the highest paid player on the roster by next season and probably the next 2 seasons after, so i think the criticism is justified.

    You are such a passive aggressive little man - always taking shots - do you have any of your own opinions - or do you just sit in your mama's basement trying to post WOJ stuff....FIRST on Clutchfans?

    Or, maybe you could transcribe the radio shows and interviews about the Rockets....oh wait, I started that and you sorta just ehem borrowed it....

    So, again, anything original to share? or do you just now want to gum up the board taking weak assed cowardly shots at me?

    What do you say. J.R??? We can go to war, or we can simply go back to respecting or ignoring what each other brings.....I will leave it to you.

    Just so you know I tried to PM you first, but you have that blocked, so gonna just call your puny butt to the carpet.

    DD

    PS. The deeply comments is more about fit, and how personalities and game styles fit, and if you think the majority of people think like that here, we disagree a lot more - and tell your mom I want meatloaf tonight.

    Also, can someone quote me in case Captain Passive Aggressive FIRST has me blocked? Thanks.

    I can always tell who is losing an argument when they resort to name calling. If someone gets under your skin that much, better to take a step back or use the ignore list.

    What argument when a person is passive aggressive?

    They just sit over on the fence taking weak assed shots......I think you at least call out what is going on......but hey, you do you SC - Respect.

    Calling people like you out and chilling with my family are not mutually exclusive propositions.

    My opinion, a hater is someone who willfully ignores good games and still finds a way to “hate”. Or someone who invents things to “hate” on that aren’t even factually happening.

    I’d say for the most part the gripes with KPJ this season have been poor decision making, turnovers and poor efficiency. All things that were factually happening, a lot.

    Tonight he was great in all those areas. Should be taken as a good sign that there aren’t any idiots popping up trying to invent ways to hate when he actually had a really good game.

    Get out of your parents basement. Your mom shouldn't still be supporting a bum.
