    It wasn't too long ago when people were so excited having KPJ out. Guess what, we are as **** as always.

    KPJ probably isn't the answer as our lead guard but he sure as hell isn't more of a problem that any of our top draft picks. There is no player than Sengun (he has dropped off a bit) that you could be pleased with their progress this season.

    He is one of the major problem, the front office decided it would b a great idea to let a guy who never play pg in his life to b our "pg" and decided to not have a viable backup pg if this plan goes to sht. We look like sht with him as the pg, and we look less shtter with him not as the pg. He was not pg material last year, this year or any upcoming year. Theres way too many things lacking to kpj pg/passing game like passing accuracy, playmaking, court vision, etc

    Folks really like to downplay how important the pg position is especially for a team full of youngsters. im not surprised that everybody is struggling due to a lack of an actual pg/offensive system. A lack of actual vets is also another problem.

    Is it possible kpj will b a competent pg in a few years possibly, but that sort of investment is not worth hindering literally everybody else on the team. Man is a good spot up shooter, hone that instead of this head honcho/pg nonsense.

    That is more a front office than a player problem.

    KPJ didn't even asked to be traded here but he was grateful to the Rockets for giving him a chance when nobody would.

    Now we know why nobody would and why Management has been semi blind.

    The Rockets take on too many chances on high reward high risk players while rarely considering high floor less risk players.

    Y’all are right. KPJ is the problem. He’s the reason Smith has been terrible.

    KPJ has definitely held us back from getting the #1 pick the last 2 years.

    I have always been neutral on KPJ, but it seems like we have been notably worse since he has been out of the lineup.

    Not sure if the data backs that up.

    What even happened to this dude? Was the timetable for his return from whatever injury he has always this long?

    Apparently a toe injury, which definitely do suck from experience.

    Still, seems like an extra-long rehab process this time

    Folks acting like kpj didn't contribute to how sht smith looks when they play together.

    Coach outright admits to not running plays to make his rookie life easier.
    The head honcho running the offense freezes him out and lets Smith stand camped out at the three point like a scare crow.

    I thought the head honcho just had awful court vision and couldn't see smith, but apparently that's the plan to not set plays up for the dude.
    Give us a pg and im quite sure Smith would look a lot better.

    Well, Silas was silent about running plays in general.

    He does not really run winning plays either way.

    Since KPJ has been injured, how has that worked out for the Rockets? Did the Rockets magically become better? How's the offense working? How's the shooting going? I don't care for KPJ, but he is at the very least the second best player on the team. Quoting me doesn't make it any less true.

    Can someone explain to me why we have a poster that's worshipping Manny Ramirez?

    BTW, get off Senguns dick!

    Last time I checked there is no one here worshipping me. And to be honest, if there was someone here worshipping me, I would worry about them.

    And Champ, I never mentioned anything about Sengun. The few posts that I have had in this forum have referenced my disdain about the coaching staff, gm, and owner. Yes, I did mention that KPJ should be cut as it looks to be the classic "addition by subtraction", but if you feel that I worship Sengun from one post in this thread, you're not worth responding to after this post here.
