    I’m glad that you guys got your moral victories! The early part of the game thread was pure gold. To see the vibe shift as this team reverts back to who they are in the 2nd half made me feel sorry for the “KPJ Sucks” party. Always awkward to see people squirm into the blame game after the euphoria wears off.

    It’s funny how @DatRocketFan said KPJ being out is why Jabari had a career night. Like that’s what players have to do when someone is out, they step up! Why did EG score 50 against Utah? Bc he had to step up with Harden, Capela, and CP3 out. People are dumb lol

    Interesting, I wonder if any Rockets made it into the top 100?

    Hey, we got one!!




    I wonder if any players drafted in the last 2 classes managed to make the list?







    We did a really good job drafting.

    KPJ does suck at pg, but like i said it would b nice to have KPJ scoring output since we faltered in the 2nd half.

    It extremely unlikely for Smith and Sengun to have career night with kpj playing.

    Moral victories? we are fking at the bottom of the league when kpj plays and everybody looks like sht (aside from sengun). are u celebrating kpj's improvement instead as moral victories?

    what a dumba$$ logic. KPJ at pg, smith looks like sht. We play a team oriented game w/o kpj, smith looks competent.

    KPJ freezes smith out, this has been seen multiple games.

    Facts! Also, why didn’t their boy Sengun drop 30 & 15? KPJ is the reason he doesn’t get the ball enough

    It’s almost as if this entire team sucks! What a tragedy when you can’t scapegoat the stink onto one or two convenient patsies. Don’t let me stop the venting session. Whatever helps y’all cope.

    Absolutely, KPJ should have made the shots for those guys instead of just creating the shots for them. Clearly it's his fault when they suck at basketball.

    We played an amazing team oriented game last night....and lost by 25. Clearly it was amazing.

    I’d guess Silas tells everyone to miss shots on Alpy passes because there is a secret agenda going on. ;)

    KPJ fandom makes u see sht too. I never said that.

    Jalen had 2 pts because the coach adjusted and the defense was too much for him. Hence this is when KPJ scoring is needed, not his pg abilities.

    It’s crazy @Bobbythegreat bc KPJ creates so many open looks for Jabari and he just misses them. It’s so dumb, i swear

    Ah yes the head honcho at pg we are currently 10-30, but it's not his fault everybody else sucks.

    clearly it's not his fault even though he proclaim himself the leader of the squad.

    If only u can b the leader/boss of a group and b absolved of all blames when the group does poorly.

    Why didn’t your boy Sengun take over then? He’s the best player on the team and the franchise. What happened?

    What nonsense logic. A team without a real pg, a coach that can't adapt or know how to adjust w/o his favorite child, a team weak on defense vs a superior offense is magically suppose to win.

    Sengun ain't god, he has weaknesses like everybody else. The major weakness our team currently faces is defense. We couldn't stop anything against a superior offense.

    Sometime i wonder if u and kpj stans actually watch the game if u can't see the dramatic difference on how our team play with kpj and without him.


    If kpj was as good as kpj stans like to paint him we wouldn't b dead last once more.

    You can watch all of Smith's made field goals on NBA.com from last night's game. There's nothing there that says "team oriented game".

    Funny how we need to be patient with the head honcho for years with the hopes that he learns his position but with any alternative scenario lessons are learned after one game. And the lesson is when you replace kpj with even a non point guard, ball movement increases, assists go up, turnovers go down.

    the other lesson, you need more than one guy in the roster/on the court who can put the ball on the floor is a lesson for stone and Silas. The posters here have been screaming for that for ages.
