    As far as basketball, Rodi has the most NBA-like body and fluidity of anyone on the team, but for some reason they looked better without him. Just not a very savvy player.
    (BTW, I’m still in shock how they far they got! A missed Bertans 3 pt. at the buzzer against the world champions! Without Kristaps! This is not a traditional basketball power like Lithuania, just crazy…)

    WRT to the DV charges, that case was even weaker than Bridges. The lady waited for months to report it, no photo evidence, nothing…
    Nothing compared to KPj

    This is what was known BEFORE his acquisition and subsequent plea deal. FOH with the compartmentalization. Crickets just like I expected.

    Zagars played better but Rodions did well in the WC.

    The "told ya so" KPJ white knights are sure avoiding this thread like the plague! I wonder why? What exactly could be the difference between these two wife beaters? Cowards and convenient self righteous hypocrites.

    The loudest in the KPJ room leading the charge in post counts wanted to know how a known wife beater could help this club. Hmmm I wonder what the difference was?

    Are you illiterate?
    So now go sit on your hands in the corner you pathetic bigot. You're probably only spouting off in defense of a white guy anyway.

    Probably because Rodions Kurucs was never announced last in the presentation, never got Harden's lockers, never self-claimed himself as head honcho and most importantly has never been the centerpiece of the rebuild.

    Oh is THAT what really irks you? So lets rock with wife beaters as long as they havent done anything else "bad" or are not viewed as centerpieces? Nah just "diamonds in the rough" huh? :rolleyes:

    You're an idiot!

    He was charged based on allegations that were never proven and he was never convicted of the charges. They were fighting, he was loud and eventually pleaded disorderly conduct. There was no assault, the lady didn't go to the hospital, there was no evidence, she came out months later with these charges, which fizzled out.

    has nothing to do with who is white and who is black, has everything to do with who sent a girl to the hospital, bleeding and with major injuries.

    You are an ignorant loudmouth, witch-hunting here for political incorrectness. Get TFO here!

    Do you understand how the justice system works? First you get busted and charged. Then you post bail. Then your lawyer (depending on how much you pay him and his connections) will usually reduce your charges.

    Dont sit here and play the high and mighty card when you are intentionally being dense. Your history here speaks for itself if you dont want it used against you then do better. "if its good for the goose......"

    So Rodions Kurucs the KNOWN wife beater deserved a 2nd chance to help turnaround the Houston Rockets because he didnt exhibit any signs before he became a pig. The usual CFans diffusion of responsibility as long as it aligns with "told ya so" bullshit.

    Well, KPJ's ass should have been kicked long before he beat his wife tbh. I'm just glad he carried his on-court stupidity to off-court and self-destructed himself to get the job done the Rockets FO couldn't.

    I think the exact same way about Kurucs too, idgaf about their skin colors. They are both trash players and criminals.

    Good for you! Take your flowers around another victory lap. The fact that you can be so decisive on one player and not the other when both instances are almost identical save the "signs" continues to make my point for me.

    When this team STONES TEAM starts winning you dont get to celebrate -- sound fair?

    Nobody got "busted"! They went together to a Vegas trip the day after. Then months later the lady pressed charges... He was released without bail. Eventually pleaded "disorderly conduct"...

    You are the one being dense, but I never can figure out if it is intentional or not...

    Is it similar to the "OMG KPJ attempted to kill her - HE BROKE HER NECK" and then come to find out none of that actually happened? Even after the battered lady released her statement you white knights know exactly what happened because of his past like accusing him of beating another woman previously when no charges were pressed! Trust me Adolph Im not surprised that you arent willing to see the similarities.

    Right. Did Verbal Christ have great compassion for Rodions Kurucs the trouble kid and fight for him getting a chance with the Rockets?

    Buddy, you brought this thread back to life after 2 years just to make KPJ look less evil.

    It's time for you to let it go. You had faith in KPJ and he let you down. It's OK, we all have been there. Time to move on.

    Oh c'mon. The KPJ girl was sent to a hospital. No one is contesting that she was severely injured and bleeding. There was a video of her not being able to walk by herself... Whether the vertebrae was broken by KPJ or it was congenital defect is the only thing that is being contested here...
