    Was it?

    No passes = no turnovers. KPJ is a decent shooter and can ISO. If he misses no sweat it's just overtime. If he makes it a guy who's had a rocky week delivers a W.

    It's probably and very literally the smartest bit of coaching Silas has done as head coach.

    He's not the best point guard option, still want him to be a 3. It was stupid though for anyone to suggest we waive him.

    KPJ wants to take that shot, where alot of guys don’t want that moment and he was missing a lot of layups and couple midrange shots…

    lol as the play was happening my 12 yo old and I were both like wtf is this play??

    there’s A LOT of things I don’t like about the way KPJ plays. But so much of that is over-lookable if he was a much more efficient scorer.

    he makes the game so hard on himself.

    now we can get a first round pick for him!!!! Lol.

    Lol, I was mad when I saw the play.. but pumped for KPJ who hit a big shot and saved Silas from one of the worst playcalling ever to one that looks genius while staying confident with KPJ.

    Some fans here missed a very entertaining game. Drama, excitement, lunacy, screwups galore, veteran plays, rookie mistakes, and an incredible game winning shot by Kevin Porter Jr. to seal the deal and break the losing streak. I don't know if Eric Gordon had fun, but I did.

    All these so called coaches not realizing that the play was Green setting the pick to get a smaller guy on KPJ for his fav shot, a stepback …

    y’all want Gordon fumbling the ball out of bounds
    Or Wood throwing the ball over someone head / losing ball going up for a layup

    And just like that, the team puts all that in the past.

    Growing year for Porter Jr, but he should realize he has a ton more value being able to play PG and SG.
