    Let's face it, this man plays for himself. Sucks that we have the biggest KPJ Stan as a HC.

    Said it day one. Day 100. Day 400.

    The same thing will be said day 1000.

    Dude is the definition of a loser. His play, his body language, his actions off the court. Every single thing about him.

    The fact NONE of it has changed since his college days speaks volumes to the person he is.

    There's a reason why players like him are not seen on representative teams for other countries.

    who on this team from top to bottom is a winner?

    our front office? no.

    coaching? no

    the only player that has any level of winning is Eric Gordon.

    It's hard to be a winner on the court when your own owner says he wants you to lose.

    Thankfully none of the other players show all the other loser qualities than KPJ does.

    Which is why he needs to be gone ASAP so they don't start creeping in.

    Let's face it, nobody will be a winner until Silas is fired

    Silas is a loser, it was fun when John Lucas took over for a couple of the games in the preseason and one game in the regular season.

    I mean, there's signs that a lot of these guys are content with losing. We lead the league in players going straight to IG to repost their highlights after a 20 pt deficit. Ironically, KPJ is one of the few who doesn't(as much). Maybe this is a new generation thing but that doesn't scream winning to me. But then again, we don't know who's a winner or who's a loser because like you said, the FO is encouraging losing and the coach is easily the worst.

    So who on the team is a winner right now? It’s dumb to blame one person. He’s been **** this season, but he’s played really well over the last week. What about our 34 year old vet who has been **** all season?

    Oh be quiet. 23 points on 12 shots, along with 10 rebounds and 8 assists. He’s the only one who showed up tonight.

    Feels like everytime kpj manages to play well we still get a$$ blasted for 20 pts.

    Doesn't bode well for the guy suppose to direct our offense

    We get blown out because our team SUCKS ASS and can't shoot the ball.

    We are shooting 30% from 3 as a team during the entire month of December that is LAST in the league, please explain how that is KPJ's fault.

    I said it b4 and I say it again. Kpj sucks at pg, he doesn't have the court vision or the passing ability to make life easier for his teammates.

    U claim u coach and whatnot but refuse to acknowledge that a good pass increases the probability of making a shot. Kpj passes aren't good or even on point most of the time, he takes too long to think which ruins fast break and doesn't even utilize his "lob threat".

    He takes sht shots to b the hero and he's freezes out his teammates when they are hot.

    He has potential as a sixth man or jg position.

    I do think we are in a shooting slump but bad passes leads to whiffs. Not that complicated. Doesn't help that Silas refuses to stagger his playmaker. Bench folks suffers dragging the 3 pt % even further.

    Many blame to go around but kpj is main issue, trying to fit a square peg into a circle one. Similar to how I feel about how wood isn't good for the team, the way we are utilizing kpj is malpractice

    He is getting better, you speak as if he is a finished product but he has been improving a ton lately, but haters won't acknowledge it, they are too stuck in their narratives they can't see the forest through the trees.

    KPJ is our best player, he is setting guys up left and right his mistakes are coming down and his feel is coming up - but players are missing so many shots....

    30% 3pt shooting as a team is disgraceful.....and it has been that way for an entire month.

    We desperately need a solid 3pt shooter.
