    Which is why I find it odd that crazy attachments to players like Jalen Green, Jabari Smith, and Alpren Sengun cause fans to lash out at KPJ as if their struggles are his fault.....even when he hasn't played since the start of January. There's a good chance that none of those players will be around when the Rockets are good again, yet they can't help themselves.

    I do wonder though, since they are ridiculous enough to still blame KPJ for the struggles of their favorite players nearly 2 months after he played his last game, will they still be blaming him if KPJ is no longer on the team? If so, for how many more years will everything be KPJ's fault?

    Look @Nook is a fraud. I have absolutely no proof of this. I just feel like being a contrarian today. Carry on.

    Twitter is a form of Media. Anyway the twitter heads arent insiders and most of them are KPJ stans so they def would not like this news and since twitter followers just agree with whoever they are following they know they can claim whatever they want and people will believe them.

    Yeah, I remember Jalen laying it off the glass for an opponent on an open break away layup...

    He just laughed it off like "my bad"... he hits the bench next whistle with any serious coach...

    Wrong, sir. I got PMed on this site saying you were a fraud.

    I personally have no idea if you are or not.

    But until someone says KPJ did this……and it being current info and not fan bias, I will support him.

    Not a contrarian, just have higher standards of proof, and see the social dynamic of group think and tag alongs instead of actual facts.

    and I am not saying Nook is a fraud I am saying I don’t know. The only new stuff I have seen from him is KP J is rude to Rox staff, that would suck if proven true.

    DD, that is some McCarthyite BS right there. "Someone messaged me that Nook is fraud" sure reads like a way to discredit a person without backing up the claim. It's shady and you are not coming off well in this. *This* crusade for Kevin Porter, jr.? Holy crap, he has more *demonstrably proven* red flags than any player I can think of. This goes back to USC to his current tenure with the Rockets. It's not like he wasn't suspended *last year* for leaving the arena in the middle of a game because John Lucas had the temerity to, you know, *coach* him.

    That is fair, I am asking for proof about this, here is the proof of what I am saying...the title of the DM was "Fraud" I obviously will not tell you who sent it, but this is a screen cap of the main context. The person took something I said from the BBS as a quote and sent me a DM about it.



    Just posted it on Twitter as you can't post images here.

    Clutch can verify if he cares to.....but I don't lie.....and I stand by my standards.

    Let's see who has the balls to do the same.

    Quite the nerve to call someone else a fraud like that, while at the same time demanding more "proof" of KPJ's stuff.

    Who is this poster that sent u that dm for all I know it could have been hakeem94 or booby. Hell it could b an anti Nook hater if those exist.

    Not being a Nook stan or anything like that, I just find it strange that all it took was one dm from someone for u 2 start beefing with Nook.

    it could have been you! Not going to out PMs....but I didn't ask for it, just got it.....hell I am sure some of you people with an anti KPJ grudge or those that don't like me.....now I have proven it...and put out a challenge any of you blowhards willing to step to the plate and accept?

    This is all I am asking for proof about KPJ - what have you heard about KPJ directly. Don't p***y foot around being vague, don't be a coward, what exactly has he done.

    And don't give me **** about Cleveland or USC, I want current stuff this year - something that says....rotten egg - hasn't changed......saying he would lose his **** if he lost his starting spot is not it....that is pretty much the same with other players too....something tangible.....that shows he is hurting this team.

    No - I won't divulge that they don't deserve it, they sent it privately, I don't respond to bullying or group think, but I have to respect the level of what I am asking for from me, to not be a hypocrite - same level of proof I am asking for KPJ info.....

    Take the bet boys or STFU.

    All I'm saying is I find it quite out there for double d to doubt the sources that are portraying kpj in a negative light. I guess its fine to b skeptical, but then u go thinking someone is a fraud based on the words of another poster on here without any proof whatsoever is wild.

    Like I said imagine if it was booby, jiggly or hakeem94 starting sht and u took it as gospel. Quite wild times indeed
