KPJ: Can someone explain to me why he has become Clutchfans favorite whipping boy?

Spot on still? No. Their peers have been singing a very different tune.

 

DD, they’ll never see it man. The hate this fanbase has toward him is just too strong. There’s nothing man that can do to please these folks

 

Yep, Austin Rivers has his opinion too......fair enough. Not sure he is a peer though, but he is in the NBA so.....

So, right now -

KPJ has Lebron, Damian Lillard, Kevin Love on team KPJ
And Jalen has - Austin Rivers.

Let's keep tabs.

Must be miserable to complain every time he takes a shot and grudgingly accept when it goes in.....so sad.

Ok Ok, I see you, that is a good get....

Yeah, Kevin Love said he was the most talented player on that team over guys like garland and sexton. Dame said he’s the hardest under the radar player to guard. But hey, nobody wants to talk about that lol

 

And what about when Harden effusively praised Greens growth

https://www.si.com/nba/76ers/.amp/news/76ers-james-harden-praises-rockets-jalen-green-on-monday


"I am so proud of him," Harden said. "He has not only lived up to expectations, but he is coming into his swagger every single game. Tonight, in overtime, he just took over, getting to the rim and doing all the necessary things to try and win this game. He has to keep that going."

"His aggressiveness from last year has carried over to this year," Harden said. "This year, he has been attacking the rim and shooting his shots. As long as he continues to put the work in, he'll learn game-by-game, season-by-season as he continues to grow." (via Inside the Rockets)

 

In the 2020 playoffs Lebrons Lakers played Houston where his team literally employed a strategy that exposed how useless Westbrook was as a player. They blatantly didn’t guard Westbrook when he was behind the 3 point line and it worked like a charm. Lebron after taking part in this series decided it was a good idea to use most of the Lakers assets to trade for that very same player that he just took part in easily rendering useless.

Players are generally idiots.

 

I just think nobody cares. Players job is to play basketball, not evaluate talent. Do you want jordan running the team? Do you want Magic running the team? Look at Lebron, one of the smartest players in history getting his team to trade a ton for Westbrook.

 

Lebron has always been a very poor gm. He’s cost himself championships by his putrid sideline gm play.

 

Home game Team LeBron. Road game Team Luka. How about it?

 

But everybody cares about players talking about Sengun. Saying players job isn’t to evaluate talent doesn’t apply to that though, right? How hypocritical smh. @Bobbythegreat look at this dumb **** lol

 

Good thing Love wasn’t/isn’t their GM. He was quite obviously wrong. Garland out played him that year and each subsequent season.

 

I couldn’t care less what players say about sengun, not sure where you got that i care but I don’t. I’m also not a sengun guy personally so pretty random to bring him into it. Maybe a typo?

 

I know that, but I haven’t seen you say anything that about those constantly saying Sengun is the franchise player bc others praise him. Surprising bc I’ve never seen you play favorites before

 

It’s just so irrelevant I rarely comment on it i guess. I think the sengun is a franchise player stuff is ludicrous, and railed against it in another thread

 

Why was he wrong? He said was KPJ has a ton of talent which is pretty objectively true. If you look at the list of players who have the same skillset as KPJ it's a bunch of all stars. I don't think talent has ever been the issue with KPJ.

 

Exactly lol. The problem is that KPJ can’t put it all together to be a star player

 

My bad. You’re right about that, it’s insane. People overrate the players on this team.
