KPJ sucking has nothng to do with this loss. SIlas name is written all over this. We were winning until he sat Sengun extended minutes. Still Jabari dropped 27 and we were wondering were our #3 overall pick was. KPJ stunts the growth of our picks we were on a 7 game losing streak WITH him.
Now do the defensive rating with Alpi! Also, how does one score 25 points in one half and only 2 in the other without being injured or fouled out? I really need this to be explained to me. I do not care how they were guarding him. He ought to be able to pull out 5-6 points and hit 30. And, honestly, if he can be stopped that easily by the Kings of all teams then he's definitely not the guy we're hoping he is yet and may never be.
Sure, sure. Whatever helps you cope. It couldn’t possibly be because these guys are all still wet behind the ears and nobody on the roster is “that guy”. If only it were as simple as a new coach and new “point guard”. I thought you guys didn’t like garbage time stats? Silas pulled Sengun at the 4 minute mark of the 3rd and the team down 16 and he came back in to start the 4th Q team down 10 at that point! Then Silas takes him out at the 7 minute mark after 2 consecutive turnovers and the team down 20!! What are you talking about “took him out when it was still close” lol. 2 game losing streak without KPJ. I hope he sits another 10 games or so “for science” and data collection.
I hope KPJ sits forever and comes off the bench. When Silas first sat Sengun we were not down 16. Stop making sutff up. I think youre the one coping. We lost 7 in a row with KPJ exaclty what will happen to your little brain if we won a couple of game without him? Will you admit he's a problem? No you wouldnt but wins and losses are not the point its the development of our top picks. Jabari looked the best he's ever looked.
"They were making a ton of 3s in transition," Rockets coach Stephen Silas said. "We are a help team and we're gonna give up some, but too many."
See our defensive issues are coaching issues.. Silas is so stupid he doesnt knwo he's telling on himself.
A 3 at the top the key with no one around you after a pass is not a bad shot for a shooting guard in any universe. Green should absolutely take those I don't care what his percentage is. He's more than capable of being a 38-42% 3 point shooter and he needs the reps. Opens up his drive game too. "In rhythm" is when there's been ball movement and not when you've gone iso dribble dribble for 10 seconds. The Kings shot 50% from 3 last night and outrebounded the Rockets by 12. That's where the game was lost. They also adjusted to Jalen and Silas couldn't come up with a counter to that. Simple as that.
At the 4:51 mark of the 3rd Q Garuba comes in for Sengun with the score 99-83. The score at halftime was 69-66.
The kings are currently 4th in the West. Folks gotta stop acting like we were playing against a sht team based on previous seasons. A good coach will have great adjustment against green, it's up to silas to figure out a way to make green's life easier. Really reminded me how one coach went full court press on us, and we weren't able to do anything to break it.
You said “we were winning until he sat Sengun” — Houston did not win a single quarter. edit: oh I see the 5 point lead there in the 2nd Q. Yeah it’s too bad we lost that huge separation while he sat means we would have only lost by 18-20.
