    Nix looks horrible with KPJ or Gordon as only guards in floor with him ….. Silas used to leave Green out with him but he kept KPJ and Green in together which subbed Nix and Gordon together.

    Gordon then had 3/4 turnovers in a row

    Chip’s lack of hustle might be his most annoying trait

    he waddles around like he’s made it…like he’s too good to hustle

    a loose ball is something he will never recover…he won’t even bother bending his legs or lowering his body to try and pick it up

    it’s infuriating

    How are u a bad bench player, and u refuse to hustle??

    If Sengun’s that dunk is fouling, then most of Blake Griffin’s dunks are fouls. NBA is ridiculous joke.

    Are you referring to the team that just lost 11 in a row and 15 of their last 16 games?
    The same team that, until tonight, was looking up at the lowly Rockets in the standings?

    The starters got around 30 minutes each. When he did put them back in during the 4th, all they did was give up buckets and play fairly stupid. The Spurs' lead got out to 20 at some point while they were out there. What point in the game are you talking about?

    I'd trade Nix for a Double Tender Burger that's currently being advertized to me on this website right now.

    That one play early on where Jalen and KPj seemingly passing it back and forth to each other 50x only to hoist a brick was symbolic of tonight's result.

    Guess the order came down "OK, that's enough morale boosting wins, back to the tank"

    There was a sequence (which is becoming a regular) when KPJ and Jalen were taking turns trying to beat their man off the dribble. They would iso then pass it back, then iso and pass it back only passing to each other for almost the entire 24 seconds as if there was nobody else on the team. Ended in a bad midrange shot. Eason thankfully got the rebound and shot a 3 pointer that went in. But it was like no one else was on the team. Such a terrible sequence and Silas is standing there with his arms folded.

    They are both developing bad habits and there is no accountability. And they have moved away from the analytics with an iso centric beat your man off the dribble to take a terrible midrange shot while the other team increases the lead with 3 pointers.

    for whatever reason yes it was a bad game from both guards - Green hasn’t been shooting the 3 well so he’s gone more to midrange and driving and was off tonight

    KPJ needs to know he can lead by passing

    Both did make a great effort to feed Sengun when he was in the game

    Rockets play a team without their best player, who have lost 11 in a row.

    KPJ: THIS IS HOW WE EXECUTE

    Can't believe I went against my gut instinct and put this loser into my scoring fantasy team today, thinking the above would mean the least path of resistance possible for KPJ to have a good game.

    Alas. All those pump fakes on wiiiiide open shots, only to dribble into the heart of the defense and take contested (and miss horribly) shots. Guess dude has got to get on ESPN somehow, and making wide open shots doesn't get him there.

    It is even funnier when you think back to the first basket of the game - Collins did the exact same off hand push as he went up for his basket - which resulted in a no call.

    No kidding. Maybe the coach should show some fire and get in their asses when they are lackadaisical and don't show any swagger.
