KPJ Doesn't Fit.

I think he sucks, but there’s no system yet. The system needs to be built around whoever our best young guys are next year. Hopefully we get wemby/scoot and then we can actually try to build something

 

He fits fine. He just needs to learn when to pass the ball off to make the offense click. (Hint KPj: every time you bring the ball up)

 

Team is too young. Everyone try to go for highlight play. Same for KJ. After 2 handed dunk he always hang on the rim and swing. This time he kicked someone.

 

trade him with Gordon then you will see how this team becomes significantly better in every aspect.

 

The tone in which Craig and Ryan make negative comments about his offensive plays or turnovers is hilarious.

They're so sick of him as well.

He actually played a decent game for the most part. Although some of his decision making is still absolutely hilarious even in a good game.

My personal favourites were:

- passing to Garuba for a made 3. Important to note, there was no defender between KPJ and Garuba, and Garuba still had to jump to catch the pass from going out of bounds.

- passing to KJ on the fast break. Important to note, not only was he not aware of the trail defenders (that's another story, but lets disregard this and give him the benefit of the doubt) he still made such a horrible pass - with no pressure - so much so the ball went so high and so far away from the rim that even if there were no defenders KJ still wouldn't have been able to score.
- attempting a wrap around pass that went directly out of bounds instead of to Sengun. Important to note, all he needed to do was jump and pass over the defender to a wide open Sengun. Instead he tried to be fancy and instead passed it to the crowd without Sengun coming close to collecting it.

 

lol...........................17/11/8/ 3 blocks and a steal and the best +/- on the team today and he doesn't fit

He and Jalen share the ball most of the time when together

 

need to build around silas. stone need to properly surround him with proper pieces

 

He tried...

But Silas is the KPJ of coaches...

 

Just like when Jabari came down court and rushed a 3pt shot with nobody under the goal in the 4th qtr..

Rockets are just young!

 

Fans always RUSH to judgment. Last yr everyone was saying Garuba was a bust, now they're saying he's the best thing ever!

Difference between him and KPJ, Garuba is playing the same position he has played all his life, he just had to get adjusted to the speed. KPJ is learning a different position, which just so happens to be the most important position on the basketball court.

 

I thought he played good too, not great but well enough to show he can do the job.

 

I want to see how he fares with another coach. The talent is there, but decision making is not.

 

I like him, he’s a good player he just shouldn’t be your primary ball handler. He’s simply not a good enough point guard.

 

His attitude doesn’t fit. But he can change that

 

I want to see him play next to veteran star players. I went to the game last night and it’s just striking to see Christian Wood play with Luka vs last night without. With players like this, I think the best thing they need is an alpha who can control the game offensively and make guys like this fall into line. Otherwise they are the ones making decisions to the teams detriment.

KPJ is a far less selfish player, better decision maker, and much more liked by his teammates though fyi. It’s kinda hilarious watching Wood between plays and seeing what you don’t see on TV. His teammates really don’t like him at all.

 

Bringing up 'fit' on the worst team in the league is pretty funny. Would have been easier just to spit venom in one of the other 5 "KPJ is the Devil" threads dont you think?

 

The fact that we get a moronic thread like this immediately after a game where kpj played very well and was one of the top reasons the Rockets won is really all you need to know about these types of posters.

 

Wonder how long it would take for KPj to learn to play center.

 

There is a system, it's based on making simple reads fast. It's why the Rockets look good and go right to the Sengun-Green PR early. It's how the Rockets occasionally looked semi competent even with stiffs like Schroder and DJ Augustin last year

KPJ however makes the wrong reads and does it very slowly. And then scowls and gets upset and makes a big stink about it.
