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

Team is terrible. You can't win anything with this roster. Sengun wasn't even part of the game plan. We disagree on his ability but if we don't get Wemby or Scoot we're screwed bad. On KPJ if he's a 6th maybe but he's legit not an NBA player. I'm really hoping his bad habits didn't rub off on J

 

I can't stand the nickname "Scoot." Sounds like something a dog would do to wipe it's ass.

 

"its going to look so much better while Satan Porter Jr is out"

 

Satan Porter Jr? When has he become the head honcho of hell?

 

Clearly it's KPJ causing guys like Jalen Green and Jabari Smith to suck at basketball while he's not playing just like he caused them to suck at basketball while he was playing.

 

No, KPJ causes himself to suck at basketball which is why nobody wants him. He'll be out of the league in two years anyways.

 

I'd say around November

 

The offense managed to get better even tho KPJ has been replaced with the likes of EG, Chips, and Jalen trying to cosplay as PG's?

And people are acting like KPJ is now vindicated?

that just solidifies even more that he shouldn’t be the starting PG

The defense is worse, but we’re really gonna act like KPJ is some major impactful defender?

 

KPJ is gonna open a can of whoop ass when he comes back.

 

Our offense got better without kpj the head honcho pg.

Most of the anti kpj folks stance have always been consistent. Kpj blows at pg and his presence at it hinders the development of everybody else.

Kpj stans celebrating us losing without kpj like it means anything. All it shows us is that he should not b our future pg going forward.

 

Yeah there are certainly some who probably said just remove KPJ and things will get better but I think the majority of the “anti KPJ” crowd had more of an issue with his role as a guy with the ball in his hands to such a high degree. That he was miss cast as a guy making the majority of your playmaking and a guy doing the majority of his scoring off the bounce.

 

This tells me that it's the coaching. KPJ may or may not be a good player for this team. We'll never find out while Silas is coach.

 

Sure that is a portion of it. I think this team just sucks due to age and a lack of experience coupled with teenagers not fully grown into a mans sport. My point was to everyone who wanted to scapegoat the teams problems on him. KPJ didnt reach my expectations. Probably never will, but the flaws of this team run way deeper than one guy and the perceived interruption of development - doesnt seem like anything got better while he was out.

 

Isn't it suspicious how KPJ has been out for this long a time even though there hasn't been real news about he nature of his injury? Feels like the Rockets are trying to see something with KPJ not playing...

 

Youngsters in an actual offense system will grow and hone their skillset while figuring out their place on the team aka development. The pg job is suppose to make his teammates life easier. Silas and kpj at pg delays this from occurring bc kpj sucks at pg (something most of us agrees with) and silas offense isn't really an offense.

We spent a good portion of this season and last season (~1.5 season) with kpj as pg. Yet somehow a makeshift sengunhub offense with the likes of Eric Gordon, Tate and green cosplaying as pg somehow is able to have a better offense than kpj leading it.

Sadly the rotation still haven't been fgured out, folks looks lost as fk. Folks regressed and the pg position still needs to b filled.

Kpj isn't the only reason y we sucked but him at pg and silas as coach are big reasons y. U can point at green and smith sucking but the guy coaching the team and the one proclaiming himself the leader of the squad and the pg of the offense should get the blunt of the blame.

Kpj puts ups point no doubt, yet somehow we are able have a higher offense rating without him as pg/playin, mind boggling.

 

On food? That's the only thing he's capable of

 

Did he grow 2 inches or something? He didn’t open a damn thing before the injury. What makes you think he will after?

 

So how do you explain away the Spurs under Pop this year then? Are they developing? Maybe JUST MAYBE these teams are intentionally tanking and could care less about all that "important" stuff that only the fans seem to see. You really think these organizations cant see the issues themselves with the armies of analysts and internal decision makers they employ away from the court? Cmon man.

KPJ is flawed too - my fan perspective is he thought he needed to be the "vet" on the team and its really hard to get younger guys to follow you if you have no pelts on the wall and you yourself are only 2 years older! Same thing applies Stone just eats his popcorn and laughs probably when KPJ is out there "doing his thing" because it aligns with the end result he wants.

Silas wasnt brought here to babysit - he isnt that type of coach for the same reasons - what has he really done? If James would have stuck around and made it work with Wood and who knows what other notable player would have latched on this Civil War among the fans never happens and we may be celebrating Silas instead of crucifying him. There isnt a coach in the league that can make a roster this young work.

Make peace with the intent of this season and just know that things WILL look better next season when accountability returns.

 

No Jalen, and at least half the offense runnng through Alperen...This team will play better on both ends. We're going to win a few more games....but not too many!

I expect KPjr to put up an efficient 24/7/6 over the next 10 -12 games.

 

Not suspicious at all, he's got what they'd call in football "turf toe" and that's something that can take well over a month to heal
