    We are a pretty stupid team. This has nothing to do with young.

    Neither Jalen nor KPJ swings the ball when it’s passed to them. Instead, they start going one on one. This is why Jabari doesn’t get more shots and this is why Gordon is always pissed off (he even yelled at KPJ about it early in the game). You’d see a lot more open shots and a lot fewer turnovers if these two would cut the ball hogging out.

    Houston paying hard and competitive. This game and the last couple of l’s are just the reality of playing a team that’s shooting good from three and you’re ice cold

    Defense has gotten much better and the shooting has gone to hell.

    Can Wemby shoot 3s?

    I don't understand how KPJ cannot figure out how to get the ball to Alpi. Every time he tries it's an automatic turnover

    I say keep this lineup in for the entire 3rd quarter. Let's see how bad it can get.

    I would've given Sengun the green light to clock KPJ in the face right there.

    Holy sh*t I f*cking hate this guy.

    Sengun literally just sprinted back after the turnover caused by another (feign your shock here) terrible pass by KPJ.

    Stuffed the Portland layup.

    Rotated out to a wide open shooter immediately after it.

    Then KPJ has the nerve to run over to him remonstrating saying put a hand up in his face.

    LITERALLY A PLAY RIGHT AFTER SIMMONS JUST KNOCKED DOWN A WIIIIIIDE OPEN 3 BECAUSE PORTER LOST HIM AND DIDN'T BOTHER CONTESTING.

    Hahahaha holy hell I've got to say it. If you think KPJ is a good player - you have mental issues .

    At some point you've got to wonder if it's deliberate... considering he can make pinpoint passes to literally every single other payer on the roster when he chooses.
