    Im a SIlas Hater, but I think it's SIlas's Game plan, but Dennis executes it better than KPJ. Silas is not one to teach you how to execute the same plays. It's the little things that KPJ does not know how to do because he is not a PG and is learning the position.

    Remember, Harden executing Silas's same game plan made Wood look like a damn all-star.

    it’s almost like some of you guys don’t read or watch player and coaches interviews… this has been addressed by multiple coaches on staff and Green himself

    They know what his strengths are, they want him to focus on his weaknesses in game .. which is why he is being used like he is on offense the majority of the time … they didn’t want to put too much in his plate

    he’s only averaging 5.5 shots less than Booker in his 2nd year while being the 4/5th option most times .. behind KPJ, Wood, Gordon , Tate is a maybe

    There is no maybe.

    Tate has the fourth most touches, Green is 5th.

    And I think people realize that this is obviously ok with the HC, most (including myself) just don't believe it's going to lead to faster development than him having more in game reps with the ball in his hands.

    I will say though, I am glad he is handling playing off ball as much he is so well.

    You've literally watched one game of Schroder my god. KPJ offense looks worse BECAUSE WOOD DOES NOT SET PICKS

    Precisely why people wanted Wood off this team. It's impossible to properly judge KPJ because Wood is such a net negative player. I'd like to see what KPJ can do without Wood taking up space and jacking up ill advised shots.

    I think it speaks to KPJ more than anything!

    It sure is refreshing watching the team without him.

    I'm curious what your take was when Rockets were on 7 game win streak with Mathews in starting lineup in place of Green?

    1 game really proves nothing, talk about small sample size.

    At least 7 straight games provided more of a pattern.

    In any event, Rockets need to lose to ensure a top 3 pick.

    So I'm in favor of continuing to start the least efficient players for development for remainder of season.

    When the response takes what I said and turns it into something I wasn't saying or implying? Yeah absolutely. I hope it says a ton about me.

    Feel free to leave me alone.

    I won't cry if confronted with another entertaining loss. Far from it, but I want the young players to learn how to play the right way. Was the last game a fluke? A tease? I don't know, but I was entertained.

    I have a Strong Feeling the John Lucas got angry at Christian Wood Selfish Airball 3 point shot and ignoring teammates and defensively not being Physical at all against Rudy Gobert and having easy open layups.

    After Utah Jazz blow out John must have gotten angry at Christian and KPJ again trying to defend Wood against John Lucas.

    I really believe Wood and KPJ are suspended. Just send them home.

    The Rockets don't miss them at all.

    Alperen Sengun and Dennis Shroeder are the Team System in Passing and being Unselfish.

    Perimeter shooting Jalen Green needs to be the First Option and get 20 shots, Eric Gordon should get around 12 shots. KPJ needs to be demoted to the bench.
