    So KPJ needs to sit because Green is struggling?

    What about KPJ's game is affecting Green negatively?

    They just don't seem to work well together. The chemistry (on the court) doesn't seem to be there. Not saying it is necessarily KPJ's fault.

    My memory might be a bit fuzzy, but of the 7 points Green has scored the last 2 games, I am certain that Porter assisted on 5 of them (Christopher on the other 2). If anything, Green is struggling to generate his own points.

    I wonder what the bigger picture is here? What is Green's productivity alongside Porter vs not alongside Porter?

    And we know Seguin is better at free throws than Wood.
    Truth be told! Fertitta and his sons need to stick with the restaurant business. They are actually like bad sheep farmers. They raise those young lambs to auction off and don't get a profitable return because people take advantage of their stupidity. They can't get past that rut of starting over and trading for old sheep at a cheap price or getting rid of the lambs to start again. When is the last time we kept a promising young rookie player and actually stuck with him? All I can think of is Hakeem the Dream. All we have is a bunch of other people's bench players, rookies, and no real coach or All Star Veterans.

    I feel like I can respond to both of these at the same time.

    EVERYONE on the Rockets plays worse when Green is on the court. The team has a net rating of -17.5 when he's on the court vs when he's off the court.

    It's not even close, no one on the roster is as detrimental to the team when they are on the court as Green is. The closest player to that is Daniel Theis at -11.2....3rd place is D.J. Augustin at -5.4

    So yeah, KPJ, and literally everyone would do better if Green never saw the court.

    you sure youre a good talent evaluator? and good at imagining things?
    what was your opinion on stephen curry in 2013-14?(provide links pls)

    ever wonder how lebron would have looked by playing 12 minute a night most of the nights for half a year?
    Harden?
    Cp3?
    Paul George
    Steph Curry?

    these guys have troubles finding a rhythm and their groove even when given keys to everything let alone playing 12 minutes a night alongside danuel house as a playmaker

    even at his best under Silas Sengun is not even a shadow of a player he truly is...

    we just have being shown that flashes...and no reason to blame him for silas not treating him right and being the second generation of the worst coach in nba

    LOL DUMBALYITCS BY SILAS
    not only hes the worst coach in nba, he doesnt even know how to read numbers...hes dumb as a mother****er...

    didnt even have a trouble playing thesis wood lineup 15 losses in a row and getting back to that lineup to smash any confidence and momentum left from the winning streak...

    and now he even pretends he wants to win and his 'better' player doesnt even know how to set up a proper screen or hit FTs let alone other fundamental things

    Statistically there really isn’t much of a difference for Green’s per minute production or his overall efficiency whether Porter is sharing the floor or not.

    Maybe I'm reading that incorrectly, but it appears Green is significantly better when Porter is on vs off on the advanced offensive vs defensive numbers. But that might be solely due to playing with the starters vs playing with the bench?
    He certainly makes more shots with Porter on vs Porter off (3.7 vs 2.0), although his shooting % is 2 points lower with Porter on (strangely he shoots the 3 better with Porter off).
    It's probably all "too small a sample size" at the moment anyway...

    Oi.
    He's 19 with next to no English, playing in the toughest league there is, halfway around the world.
    Quit with your weak-ass if->then fallacies.
    What were you doing at 19?

    TRUTH

    Silas did this with Wall, Dipo and Boogie too.

    But Silas did talk shyte about Harden.

    It's obvious that Silas has his favorites but it's not based on production or performance.

    Stone, Silas and the Fertittas bought into into it BODY AND SOUL.

    Silas is that you?

    Only a fake HC can fail so utterly when playing 2 bigs.

    It's actually insane that a coach can't make a regular basketball lineup of a real PF and C together work. But then, he can't make basic pick and roll work either. Maybe Silas doesn't actually know how fundamental basketball is played at all. It would explain the way we play.

    What did I say that was a fallacy?

    How can anyone get upset with me saying Sengun should be able to be shown what he is doing wrong on the court without crumbling or having his feelings hurt.

    Talk about weak ass.

    Why does this make you feel some kind of way?

    LOL.

    What new society is this that everything you do is perfect, and you cannot point out weaknesses?

    And you thought throwing in a boomer slight would do what for your argument?

    Only a boomer could think that pointing out what a player is doing wrong is ok?

    Really WTF is going on here?

    sorry, that was an attempt at humor. I’m from the old school, too, when truth mattered.
