    Excited about his potential under UE!

    No more “head honcho “ body language.
    No mire faking ankle tweak after adverse play.
    No more practice antics (per Nook).


    Will he sink to G league or swim?

    Ppl are rightfully on Sengun's ass but i wonder if KPJ and Jalen will survive under Ime. I really believe that pound to pound they are worse defenders than Sengun. I'm not entirely certain if it was Silas issue or they just don't have it. Probably combination of both. By they might not have it i mean they might not have that i'll not tolerate being a cumslut on defense anymore reflex.

    Everyone is going to be held accountable for their actions.....even Harden.

    Just worry about your own @$$

    a guard being bad on defense and a center being bad on defense are not remotely comparable.....

    KPJ was the most consistently good player on the entire roster, he'll be fine.

    It'll be interesting to see how underperforming players like Jalen and Jabari do though now that they'll finally be held to account for their performance.

    No i don't disagree with you that's why i said p4p. However our perimeter defense was the reason we got blown out every game not our interior defense. Fans were complaining about random dudes going off against us every nite. Wonder why lol.

    Popovich would yell at Tim Duncan all the time to send a message to the
    rest of the players.....if he will yell at Duncan, he will yell at anyone.
    Ime learned a thing or two from Pops. That was my best Pops imitation
    in my earlier post.


    Get ready for it KPj. But Ime is also known for talking to the players
    with words of encouragement after the @## chewing.

    KPJ should be fine and fall in line going into his 5th season and after a said good season (vs his first 3) and claiming to be the PG/head honcho and showing up to the coach introduction

    If not he may be joining Dillon on a first class trip.....to the China league with D Howard

    I think there's a pretty decent chance of him turning into an All Star under IUD.

    KPJ is super consistent compared to underperforming Green.

    Things is KPJ's assists have decreased every season since joining the Rockets although his turnovers ticked up this season. In both of Green's first 2 seasons his TS% is higher than any of KPJ's first 3 seasons. Green is drawing more free throws this season than any of KPJ's 4 seasons.

    I like KPJ and really hope he does well in a different position off the bench. Anyways fun stuff. Fun reading. Thumbs up!

    Green probably has NEVER had a coach that will hold the TEAM accountable. From what I have seen over the seasons. It’s going to be like a heavyweight champion striking a toddler. Just abusive. Hopefully it will all happens organically over several practices. KPJ is not the one to watch.

    Porter has the skills and fundamentals to be coached. Judging by Green’s shooting mechanics there is not much there. Silas has stated one can’t coach what it’s there. We will see.
