    There's this thing available to all US adults called a "vaccine" that pretty much obviates protocols.

    Rockets may want to look into it. I'm hearing good things about the latest MS nanobots

    Sure but I still don't understand the protocol when a simple Covid test can be done with results within hours.

    They need Calvin Murphy with them if fighting is involved.

    Idiot - I mean how ****ing stupid do you have to be to have a 2nd chance after basically being cut and do this ****.

    Wow. Poor decision making happening at a strip club at 6:53 AM on a game day. Who would have thought?

    I honestly think Wood hates that KPJ is low key the future when he thought he was going to be the face of the franchise. Wood looks like a hater on the court when KPJ playing

    Am i the only one who thinks that NBA players all go to strip clubs etc. even if they're not allowed to and Sterling just happened to be pretty unlucky getting caught because he was assaulted?

    Protecting his teammate being assaulted is a great thing for him to do. This season is lost so the COVID protocol is what it is, everyone wants to lose anyway right? We can't expect these players to be angels, let this be a learning experience. Next time, leave with your whole crew.

    Regular club culture is whatever, but if the NBA (their league/employer) has a mandate to avoid the public gathering during a pandemic with a penalty to miss games.

    Why risk it; for themselves, the team and the fans... it's being selfish. They hurt their own development by missing games and also shows where their focus and priorities are. Partying until 6-7 am, when the team is losing this badly.

    If the players lose but is putting in effort that one thing, but basic stuff like not getting proper sleep before game day; that's just bad habits, no matter what job you have. To be blunt, they're not good enough for the fans to look the other way.

    If I do a poll here, where for the next two years, if you don't go to a night club, but can collect a 2 million dollar paycheck. Just about everyone here turn to a monk for that kind of money.

    We can joke about where is John Lucas, but if you're over 18; you're an adult man. Own your decisions. By that age, you shouldn't need a chaperon. Life is only going to get harder.

    All the G-leaguers on this team, including KPJ, you're not untouchable.

    Yeah they all go to strip clubs, but why was he assaulted? Getting in the wrong van seems like only part of the story.

    On the bright side the Rockets are likely to draft another 19-20 yr old and this is the guy that will teach him about the NBA life. This team is so ****ed.


    There is a legit reason Porter got traded here for peanuts.

    I think we are being really harsh on Porter. The reports I read said he try to remove Brown from the situation which mean he could have saved Sterling Brown's life.

    Unfortunately Kevin Porter Jr dad was murdered trying to help a friend who was involved in a bar fight. also. Its scary that history could have repeated itself. Glad everyone is okay.

    I'm loving this team chemistry now!

    not exactly the best choice of activity at 6am, but KPJ stepping up for Brown is something Maxwell would have done for his teammates

    KEEP HIM FOR SURE

    Yeah! How could he...checks notes...go to a strip club? Deviant activity like that surely was the downfall of players like...checks notes...James Harden?

    What are you people, puritanical prudes?
