    Great description! I want Harden back so bad to mentor him. Green with his insane athleticism and Harden's moves and tricks = superstar

    Just watched Silas' press conference. He thinks this is what "ideal looks like".

    I mean, we barely beat a short-handed Pistons team that actually wanted to lose, with Silas' brand of basketball.

    This is NOT what ideal looks like.

    KPJ produces a lot of counting stats, but remains a selfish ball hog.

    Not much to complain if the goal is to win. Kpj scored efficiently, and was the best at shooting 3s. I would like it if he assists more, but 33 pts efficiently is always good.

    I don't think both kpj and green scoring 30+ a game is sustainable, but cant complain if they both do it efficiently.

    Folks can live with a ball hog if we win

    Our “point guard” had 1 assist? One? That’s even worse than I thought. Damn.

    Nice Guy is such an amazing coach. No ideas he has work but he won't listen to his assistants until the last week of the season

    I don’t think installing that pick and roll would’ve led to them winning more games these past few weeks. We won tonight because we faced the Pistons and they are a worse team. The offense has been alright, but we are not a good shooting team. The main reason we’ve been losing is poor defense.

    KPJ played well tonight, credit is where credit is due. The problem is that the whole Rockets team, only 1 player made over 35 percent of his 3-pointer, and that is Mr. Garuba. Tonight our 3-point percentage was above average, and that's why we gave ourselves a chance. KPJ made 7 threes, but how often was that? Pretty rare if I remember correctly. How many games we got blown out while shooting over 50%? When Gordon was here, we had fewer embarrassing games. He was doing nothing but jacking up shots 2 feet behind the line. It shows we need efficient shooter desperately, that someone can make open threes consistently.

    Someone compared Brunson and KPJ earlier. In my opinion, KPJ is not that far off from Brunson, but Brunson always play under control. Every Rockets game this season, we rarely hear same spot same result from our players, only happen when other teams play against us. KPJ would not pass to ball to the teammate on fire. That is the maturity issue, not the talent issue. Let's be fair, if KPJ played more mature, no way he would sign that heavily team favored contract. Sengun saw the mismatch tonight, and kept feeding Jabari. That's how the PG should play. Sometimes Sengun is too passive, there's no reason someone has almost 60% TS pass up the shots that much which often ends up in a turnover. If the mindset of Sengun and KPJ can switch, our pg and center are set for many years.

    And because their best player, Bogdanovic, didn't play. We are losing not only because yes we are a terrible shooting team we can't defend perimeter either. This team is genuinely r*tarded on defense.

    Lol. KPJ played a fantastic game & has been terrific in getting others involved since coming back. Yet somehow he's still labeled selfish? You guys just need anybody but Sengun to be angry at
