    Imagine making Daishen Nix look like a decent NBA point guard. That's how bad of a point guard he is.

    Sadly, I think this is his mindset throughout the entire game. It's "Me-Time" from the jump!

    It’s not a talent thing with him. It’s an attitude thing—and having the right attitude is half the game when you’re trying to be a point guard at any level. If you see a teammate struggling, you try to get him easy shots to ease him out of the funk.

    If things are starting to get messy, it’s your job to organize the guys on the floor to refocus.

    KPJ does none of those things. He’s easily flustered and oftentimes looks at himself as the best player on the team when he’s clearly not. He dribbles too much and processes too slowly; just compare him in the pick and roll to Jalen, even when both are struggling.

    instead of getting people into rhythm he too often forces his teammates OUT of rhythm, like they have to adapt to him and not the other way around. The problem is, he is not a generational type of player that should be given this kind of treatment.

    I’m tired, fellas

    This team has no references or leaders. Silas is a disgrace, Gordon is thinking more about leaving than playing, KPJ with pathetic body language... this is not the ideal environment for the development of young players.
    Jalen Green and KPJ are totally incompatible. If Stone and Tilman think Green is the future of this franchise, KPJ has to leave tomorrow (with Gordon and Silas).

    Sadly, all signs lead me to believe they think KPJ is the future of this franchise. Let’s enjoy this shitty ride for however long it lasts.

    I agree. This pet project by Stone is going to make us into the Magic for the next decade. If it’s not Stone it will be Green commanding the org to keep KPJ as the PG.

    Open-minded like when you cussed me out for no reason after I called you out for falsely labeling someone a KPJ lover? A conversation is not a one-way street, regardless of the fact that I agree with you completely on KPJ

    Of course it's a real quote, from a player whose understanding and basketball IQ is close to zero!

    KPJ blamed the Rockets’ poor shooting on the frustration caused by the holidays and family.

    I wish I was making this up, but alas, I am not.

    See Adam Spolane’s tweet above. What he quoted was KPJ’s original tweet.

    Can't shoot well, can't pass well, can't score enough to warrant the shots allocated to him

    yet he is silas favorite.

    He passed pretty well tonight 4 assists, and 1 turnover.

    The problem is not just KPJ as small minded people think.....

    The entire team can't ****ing shoot the ball.....

    It is a make or miss league, and we miss.

    Man is suppose to our b main guy dictating the ball, gets out assisted by Nix of all people.

    If nix can rack up assist that easily for a team that cant fking shoots the ball, it cause kpj sucks at setting up his teammates with easy looks
