    Fans of KPJ who focus their comments on criticism of Jabari Smith Jr . and Jalen Green. Incredible!

    Jabari Smith was on the bench. He needs to, and HE WILL, get tougher.

    That goes for everyone. We have dogs on the bench that can take over. Beautiful…

    This is what Ime Udoka brings to the table as head coach: Accountability.

    I love how Udoka provides straight forward answers. If you’re not performing, you’re riding the bench.

    Jabari wouldn’t start for 1 NBA team.

    think about that! Stone drafted a second round talent.

    All of the young guys had weak moments today, Jabari, Tari, Jalen… Alperen was great but missed 3 key FTs in a row….
    That’s normal, I have no issue with that. You learn and grow in competitive situations, and yes, you also learn by sitting on the bench when warranted.

    That’s how you do it, not the way the last couple of years where they got all the playing time, the premium lockers, the media puff pieces, etc… That was bad.

    There's a reason why it's an old adage that young players don't play winning basketball. Because they need time to learn. Jabari, Eason, Amen, Cam, notice how they have generally been neutral to downright bad in terms of contributing to our winning. While the old journeymen Aaron Holidays and Jeff Green are actually helping us get Ws. I still like their future, but right now they don't need to entitlement minutes.

    Enough of this crap. He starts for a good team — the Rockets. And he’s had a pretty decent season so far. Enough of this hyperbolic nonsense.

    Your last like 5 posts about Jabari not even about this tough win we had...

    I saved the best for last...

    Lol you didn't even watch the game and hating.

    I don't really understand hating and rooting for a player on your team to suck. I mean I think Landale sucks but I still hope he pulls it together and starts contributing to the team.

    Tari looked awful tonight too, not a win for the "Start Tari" crowd either.

    Not really tripping over his performance today. People want make you believe Zion is 500 lbs of lard and penicillin when in reality he is muscle and athletic. Difficult match up, even if you stay in front of him dude will barrel his way for a foul.

    Is Jabari jealous of Jalen and Sengun's close relationship?

    When Jabari figures it out we start blowing teams out. It is going to happen. We have a squad!
