    This man really think he is Kevin Durant. He is so limited but he doesnt know that. We were winning last year when he came off the bench.

    He needs to play how play in the playoffs last season and just take the open shots.
    And stop taking more than 12 attempts.

    This is exactly what toxic HOU fans do. One day they put someone on a pedestal, the next day they tear him down. Just wait. Be patient. The toxic Durant-only fans from Twitter (X) haven’t even arrived here yet. Once they do, this site will turn into a complete internet dumpster. And it’s coming very soon.

    No we all think bari is a role player, and he think he is a star. He takes so many bad tough shots. And when he drives in he always lose the ball.

    -19 in a one point loss. Worst +/- of the entire game and missed the game-losing free throw. He's been atrotious in December. Atrocious. Look up his raw and advanced numbers. He's been killing us. and Ime keeps playing him in a clutch time. We're losing games because he's not contributing anything,

    Putting Jabari in driving situations is on Ime as well. This is the roster you’re working with. Jabari is a good shooter and a solid defender, but he’s among the worst dribblers in the league. Even so, many teams would gladly have him. It’s on Ime to figure out how to actually utilize Jabari.

    One bad game in the last 5 and a knee-jerk reaction. He was clutch in the last minute, apart from 1 free throw. He scored our last 7 points of the game.

    He only averaged like 7 points in the playoffs. He was meh overall. One good game skewed every ones perception of how impactful he actually was.

    4 double-doubles in a row.................first time ever

    He was clutch in the last minute, apart from 1 free throw. He scored our last 7 points of the game.

    He had the worst +/- of tonight's game. Somehow a -19 in a one point loss. No one else was close to that. He actively sabotaged us in his minutes during the Pelicans game. He forced Ime to put back in the rest of the starters in the Nuggets game because he didn't do his damn job. He has not been showing up when he's been needed. Why do we keep letting this 3rd overall pick get away with doing NOTHING.

    -19 means little to nothing, as it isn't a one-man game. +/- relies on who you are on the court with at the same time. It isn't 1 vs 5. Look at Okigie for example, he was -3 and only scored 3 points. Is it only his fault he is -3?

    Who you play with matters

    Is it his fault if we turn it over for 3 scores in a row and he had no participation in the turnovers that led to scores? The points still get added to his minus tally.

    it is easily possible if your teammates suck when you are out there. Tari Eason had 16 points and looked good..........-3

    +/- is so overrated as an individual stat.

    Even by the eye test, Bari looked bad. He was forcing a lot of shots, just like in the Pelicans game. It felt like KD was encouraging him to keep taking those tough looks, and the offense turned into a “your turn, my turn” type of flow instead of playing within the system.

    Tari a big for us, we probably get embarrassed without him.

    This is why +/- is overated

    9:37 [​IMG] Clint Capela out of bounds bad pass turnover 100 88
    9:33 [​IMG] Keegan Murray makes 14-foot driving floating jump shot (Dennis Schroder assists) 100 90
    9:23 [​IMG] Reed Sheppard lost ball turnover (Keegan Murray steals) 100 90
    9:17 [​IMG] Keegan Murray makes 26-foot running jump shot (Dennis Schroder assists) 100 93



    Jabari on the court and gets a -5 on his +/- because his teammates turn the ball over. Jabari has nothing to do with the plays but gets the blame
