    Good news. Wall gets rested up and KPJ now is going to be the starter for most likely the rest of the season.

    Eh.. this really underestimates how much work it takes just to stay in the league let alone be an above average NBA player.

    The only type of players who can get away with being lazy in the NBa are players like Shaq.

    Actually, him worsening the injury does wonders for us. KPJ gets to start and develop, while we get to continue tanking — without Wall going all out trying to steal meaningless wins.

    Lol James was carrying a heavy share of responsibility, now that the other guys have to do something they break down. He was right about having to do everything when he was here. Don't forget PJ being hurt emotionally as well.

    Wood is returning also next game which means KPJ and Wood pick and roll can legitimately be our go to offense.

    I agree. I was dreading Wall coming back and ruining our opportunity to watch KPJ and Wood out on the floor together.

    Agree with the reasoning. Not a Wall fan, but saying it from a concern perspective. I don't wish a Rocket player getting further hurt. That was all.

    The younger guys should be playing more for the future of the team. Even if the situation turns out better for the team; I don't think anyone purposely or inadvertently wish ill on his recovery.

    It's not being able to walk out as much and absorb D3 because of the pandemic and protocols. Tehe

    Friend of mine said he was in the club with Drake before the Celtics game (celebrating Tristen Thompson’s bday.)....they must have bumped knees to grab the check.

    Very true. Credit where credit is due

    Doesnt change the fact that he hasnt improved much if at all since coming in and that hes had a history of injuries from the jump

    They need to put neon knee pads and wraps on this guy in team practices; akin to red jerseys for QBs. Maybe do this for Eric Gordon too going forward.

    I would rest him until he’s actually 100 percent. Absolutely no reason to risk his future value. Also allows KPJ more time w free reign.
