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

I pretty much just call out everyone when there's a reason for it....and when we're talking about the worst franchise in basketball the last several years, there's a LOT of people to call out.

I don't buy into the blind hype, which puts me at odds with those who do.

 

Now do Olajuwon....

 

and Darius Days

 

Top 5 all time big that should've gotten paid before that ish ever happened. To even bring his name into this proves my point.

 

I agree 100 percent.
I think that is why I also didn't mind getting rid of the other guards and replace them with vets. I didn't see any playing time for them and didn't see them offering anything of value while they sat. Jeff green may not play alot but he will provide plenty of mentorship

I really hope kpj can find a role that maximizes his abilities, I've always said he seems to me like a not as smart, more athletic Manu. He is the best catch and shoot player on the team and prob the best shot creator from the entire floor.

 

Gotcha, so it's not a principled thing, it's just an excuse for you to express faux outrage and whine about a player you irrationally dislike since you don't have any real reason.

 

I get you don't like the guy. Tell me something new.

He's universally considered a better defender than Green and he's been more efficient offensively.

But I get it, he's too old being a year older than Green... and his dunks aren't as cool.

 

Yep, but he was a lot older with less potential...

He couldn't blame his youth.

And it's easier to be kicked off after you've quit and not come back. Kind of like firing someone after they resigned...

 

Every vet except the self proclaimed head honcho, KPJ, according to Bobby. Bobby has no idea how stupid his take on KPJ is.

 

"Faux outrage"
"Irrational dislike"

Another FN Hilarious take by the biggest whining troll on this board.

If your boy ever grows up and stops acting like an idiot on and off the court I'm sure a lot of people will buy in and stop "whining".

T.O.B

 

You keep glossing over the fact KPJ is a certified knucklehead.

 

Porter has been a problem at each and every stop along the way. If he doesn't get his act together this year, he'll be gone. That's a fact. Can he do it? Sure. Will he? BIG question mark. I've said it over and over, the main reason I hoped they'd get Udoka was his history of demanding accountability and his ability to get players to buy into a team game. I think he'll be great for all of them especially Porter. Whether or not Porter changes his way... We'll see.

 

He is, but he's done more on the court at this point.

This is a results based business.

If KPJ starts it's because Jalen lacked the maturity to get better.

 

I'm not in disagreement. They could both be gone and I won't shed a tear. They both need to get better.

The problem is Jalen's issues are on the court. That's a bigger issue.

You're not expecting him to keep his job with Udoka if he's one of the 5 worst guards on defense do you?

 

I think they will all play better D given time under Udoka.

 

as usual your facts are false. There’s a full 2 year difference.

His dunks are pretty nasty

 

Team construction would say they are building around Jalens defensive weakness.

 

He's not going to take Smith's job. And they didn't sign FVV to be KPJ's backup. So, it's either Brooks or Green. If Green loses his job to KPJ, it will be a huge let down. Brooks is really an x-factor. How well he plays under Udoka will make or break Raffy Stone's career.

Yeah, the way this offseason went, KPJ will have a difficult time cracking the starting lineup. If he has the right attitude, he will still be a good rotation piece. Or if it is too crowded, he may be gone by the trade deadline.

 

It's mitigated by Jalen also being one.

 

You're just stating the same stuff I've said in the past.

Porter and Green are both possibly off this team in a year or two.

Green doesn't play hard all the time and is easily distracted. Porter can't control his emotions.

Both are recipes for being fired.
