    I am coming around to the KPJ as a sixth man. Green needs to be the focus of the offense when he is on the floor. He can drive and dish and is the better finisher now. Let’s try Green, KJM, Eason, Jabari, and Sengun in the starting line-up. Porter, Gordon, Garuba, and Tate (when back) off the bench. I think KPJ is a solid talent and is really hustling on defense and other parts of his game, but is still too ball dominant and a slow decision maker. Play iso when he is in the game. He and Gordon can trade off.

    I think Porter could possibly become a 6th man of the year type scorer off the bench, but I'm not sure he'll have the maturity to accept that role. Would be great for the team if he did.

    If Silas is truly the KPJ Whisperer he should be able to convince him.

    Why did we give up on Maledon if we dont trust the PGs on the team?
    Im betting even KPJ would be on for a move to SF for a few minutes a game. I mean, there is literally no downside. Let's see if TyTy can give us a couple minutes there.

    Which is funny because everyone thought it was going to be the reversed for a young hyped guard coming into the league who has only been the focal point of an offense for his entire life hardly ever worrying about passing the ball.

    But he comes into the league and you see he's afraid of stepping on the toes of his seniors even though it's clear he's more talented than his seniors.


    Bodes well for his teammates.

    Can't please them all, a rookie comes in all cocky folks will say he's too disrespect and selfish. If rookie is deferring to his seniors and playing for the team, people doubting his masculinity/alpha mindset.

    I'm tired of the tank excuse. I don't care about Wemby at this point.

    I care about guys like Sengun and Green being pigeon holed into labels of being career losers because they got stuck in this absolutely horrendous situation.

    This team needs to at least win 1 game out of 3 just to be somewhat respectable. No one is going to care about Green or Sengun at this rate.

    Please just dump Silas and the staff. Let that Vipers Gleague coach be the interim.

    Yeah, he's already mentally out of Houston. My worry now is he won't even be worth a FRP because of the way he's now playing, which means it was unequivocally a mistake to not trade him last year when apparently the Rockets declined multiple trade proposals where we could have acquired a FRP.

    looks like ur just looking at FGA...because anyone watching the games sees that he goes sometimes the entire quarter without touching the ball...he had two shot attempts in the whole second half yday..one of which in garbage time...utilizing him as if he's ryan anderson isnt a sound strategy

    I think it's a mix. I agree you can't utilize him as a Ryan Anderson, but has he given any reason that he is deserving of a greater role within the offense? Think the answer is somewhere in between.

    I do agree that he is struggling...that being said, feels like the coaching staff puts him in the worst position to succeed. He cant ever establish a rythm camping in the corner waiting to get the ball...same thing was done with jalen as a rookie last yr...very frustrating

    You do realize the reason we "stole" him for the Cavs is because he had a meltdown when the Cavs brought someone in that moved ahead of him in the rotation right?
