    KPj, Green, Jabari, Tari, Garuba...... Wembanyama or my guy Cam Whitmore

    I know it wouldn't be Sengun

    If course it wouldn’t be sengun, but having 3 terrible defenders with harden green kpj is not ideal especially if they all start

    Man, we really need Sengun to play more often, and run it through him.

    KPJ was really good again, but his teamates can't fricken shoot the ball.

    In the 4th quarter tonight Jabari had 2 WIDE open 3s and Mathews 1.....CLANK, CLANK, CLANK.

    Make or miss league.

    yet people blame KPJ and say the ball placement isn't good enough which is why his teammates miss wide open shots lol.

    that's how you know these dudes just hate the person

    Nets show a good offense can be one of the best defenses.....if the
    other team is inbounding off all the made baskets.

    Plus Harden, Green, KPj would be attacking the basket every play
    which would put the opposition in constant foul trouble. Opponent
    would have us in the bonus often.....as players attacking the rim
    get rewarded.

    I often listen to We Talk Hawks where now their panel is blasting the defense
    of Trae and DeJounte.....one guy says the loss of Capela is why. The others
    concur.....Back line of defense can often cover up the flaws of the defense
    of the front court.

    Draymond and Looney have been covering up for Curry for years, and now Poole

    He is up to 55 TS% now.
    https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=kevin+porter+jr.+ts%+for+22/23+season

    KPj is breaking down all the cry babies crying points

    First FT% only being in the 60's
    Now TS%
    then no incidents and quitting on the team sissy nonsense

    Next will be turnovers. He will do that by taking that back seat and delegating
    to others to run the show more. But the b****** will find something else to
    b**** about.

    Sengun did a turnover late that gave the Mavs the lead, then he missed two free throws late. We try to play through him at times, tonight wasn't his best night overall. He started pretty good though

    Any other team and KPJ would already be deep in the doghouse and well on his way to China with how absolute trash his effort and attitude is in every single game.

    For whatever reason, the Rockets keep giving him the longest leash without any attempt to fix him.

    Your post has to be a joke, Magic Johnson, Lebron James, Larry Bird, Rajon Rondo... should I keep going? Plenty of great dynamic passers have won mutliple rings so that point is mute. You want to judge KPJ by the best to ever do it? Im not even saying he has to be the best ever passer. Hell he's not even gifted offensively enough to build a team around him. Most games his handle is shaky at best. I would describe his style as herky jerky. Its weird and your post is probably one of the worst posts ive seen in my life. All that typing and all it amounts to is cherry picking nonsense and make beleive. You name a few passing greats who never got a ring. Let me tell you no one here said KPJ has to be any of those guys. The point is he's not as talented as those guys and an entire offense should not be run through him.

    If we are not deliberately tanking by not holding KPJ accountable, then we are the dumbest organization in the NBA.

    Seems like he has been made some strides recently.

    Props to him, I hope he can keep it up.

    And immediately demands the ball back. Im telling you they think he's the next Luka and they treat him like he is.

    U could tell he's already half assin it on defense like luka. Man is avoiding fouling or playin actual defense. Is able to last 42 mins.

    Difference is kpj can't score enough to carry. Luka gets 41 mins and 39 pts while kpj gets 42 mins and can't even break 30 pts.
