    What KPJ said wasn't even all that bad. People just taking his quote out of context to get a reaction. This is the video. Watch for yourselves.

    I didn't say he should get it every time down the court. Most of your post has nothing to do with what I'm asking. I said I don't understand why he isn't getting more than he is now. DD specifically said "though I would like to see him get the ball more on the block, I understand why he isn't." If he understands why Alp isn't getting the ball on the block more often, I'd just like to hear why.

    Because the only way he is this efficiency darling is from 5 foot baby hooks. He isnt driving to the hole. He isnt picking and popping. He's an average roll man. If he cant step out and hit shots then you MUST dump into him time and time again and hope the numbers games of 3's vs 2's doesnt catch up to you. Its not some sort of profound, esoteric knowledge on DDs part. Guard attack offense with poor outside shooters and an awesome post guy is a bad combo.

    You still aren't answering my question. There's a big difference between what we're doing now and "post up every possession." Why can't it be more often than we're doing now, but less often than every possession?

    I just pointed that out to him in another post. When he knows he's wrong he makes something up that has nothing to do with what you said lol

    Also this number seemed too low to believe so I looked it up. Jokic is actually leading the league with 9.3 per game, not "barely 5". Not sure where you got this number from but nba.com says 9.3 per game this season.

    You're right. I misspoke looking at the wrong player. https://www.nba.com/stats/players/tracking-post-ups?dir=D&sort=POST_TOUCHES

    So you want to post up Sengun 10 times a game? Cool do it lets see how that works out. I have my popcorn ready.

    ah and silly me i thought it was the stamina problems, or the foul trouble, otherwise, i am told so, hed be getting plenty of minutes and touches...

    i am also told we are not trying to win so it doesnt matter if kpj & jalen green are the worst defensive backcourt in the nba ...

    7 minutes into the 2nd he gets his 4th personal. Stands there laughing. Sometimes you gotta ask yourself just how much of the sticky green he's runnin through before the game.

    Folks like to blame sengun for ass defense but he was literally the only one with efficient offense can't say for ball chucker kpj. Like in a game where a teammate is on fire like sengun u pass him the dam ball. Pg 101.

    Kpi took the most shots on the team Even when he sat out for foul trouble. So asinine that kpj stans always have to defend kpj.

    Another game where the hot player is not fed the ball enough while kpj continues to shoot it like he's good at scoring. U feed the hot hand, even a dumb@$$ knows this.

    Pretty sure the hot players could have reach career highs and lead us to wins if kpj wasn't trying to get his inefficient shots in all the time.

    KPj not an Amazon Prime member confirmed. Did he also have to earn that in his contract?

    KPJ is not a winning basketball player. I want him to not be on the Rockets anymore.

    KPJ is a young player, and young players are inconsistent......our entire team is inconsistent....including KPJ.

    The fanbase - or some of em - seem to continually forget that fact.
