How do you feel about Austin Rivers' comments toward Jalen & KPJ?
Rivers is right, Green and Porter has to learn to play NBA basketball, not Street Basketball. There is one ball and that ball has to be distributed. Rockets really have a point guard problem. Porter is not this point guard and Green has to learn when to shoot when to pass… These two negatively affects Sengun… He becomes cold when they forget him in the match… Rockets needs a system.. Talent is there… But system no. Coaching + Point guard problems are the primary problems of Rockets… Drafting Wembaya will not solve this problem.. The problem in Rockets is not Center, point guard, but above all, playing concentrated basketball and unfortunately egoism of the guards.
They need vet.
KJ martin needs a bigger roll, he’s a high flyer that can hit three pointers when it matters. Garrison Matthews also needs more playing time. Vet needed!
Rivers is right. The team is talented with young kids, but they have no clue how to properly play the TEAM game of basketball.
Worse, their coach exacerbates this issue even more bc he doesn’t hold the kids accountable when they play selfishly.
EG said it again too: no progress still.
Lets get a Coach who actually played the game if we cant get vets to teach these young guys….
Smh losing the #1 pick was a killer for the Texans but if the Rockets lose or worsen their chances it will be worse
Silas loves KPJ! Josh Christopher is on the bench for doing exactly what KPJ does every game Sengun has couple of turnovers and to the bench he goes meanwhile KPJ has a triple double if you include turnovers Silas has no discipline or accountability and he just sent the PG we need to the G league dude is clueless thank God he finally stopped the 3 center rotation stupidity
They need a PG, so why did they allow Dennis Schroeder go
Trade KPJ, he's not a PG. Bring in a veteran point guard to develop Jalen and Jabari as both are almost regressing due to the fact we have no floor general. A new coach with an actual system would help too. It's great tanking for Victor but not at the expense of Jalen and Jabaris development.
We need to fire Stone, how can you construct an NBA rooster with only 2 points guards (one a g-leaguer in Nix and one a very raw rookie). It's just not acceptable, we have no playmaking. Jalen Green and KPJ are both good SG's and they can't play together, one needs to go, either traded or to the bench, and Green is better so KPJ has to go.
I definitely believe it’s time for change. Eric shouldn’t be starting. Jalen and KPJ are starting to remind me of Francis and Catino which is really not good if you want to win a championship. If you want to entertain then keep it up but playoffs or championship off the table until issues of coach and roster are settled.
