He appears to extremely inconsistent. Horrible games sprinkled with some 20pt games, and then this. Then again for a 30th pick and 20yr old, you don't usually expect consistency.

Worst FO of a contending team by far.
These moves deserve a separate thread

Beautifully said. When the Rodgers news broke today my NBA mind immediately thought about how Giannis is going to do the exact same thing as his part owner in a few years.

If you dig deep enough, there are murmurs about how awfully inept their front office really is.

Damn. Cavs fans loved this dude. I think he passes the eye test sometimes, those flashes are impressive. Hopefully they can surround him with some good people.

I've watched a decent amount of Houston, and Kevin Porter Jr. has been one of the bigger disasters I have ever watched on a basketball court. Cool to see him have a great night, hopefully it helps him get on track.

So at 20 years of age were watching a finished product??

This guy just dropped 50/11 at 20 years old. That is damn impressive.

Why are nba fans so short sighted and impatient when it comes to developing talent.

A kid who has played 70 nba games in his whole life, and the first year was in a covid affected season is suppose to be able to just walk up and become a “winner”..??

He'd be finishing college as a Junior this year. If that helps put his game into perspective.

Chill. Houston would trade KPJ for either of Garland or Sexton in a heartbeat.

Ja, SGA, Trae, Luka, KPJ, Fox, Lillard, might as well call it carryball now. All rotate their hands 180 degrees directly under the ball, add in moving screens, traveling and no contact allowed and such bad defensive philosophies in place. Have two wing defenders not move in the corner three that’s better defense already lol if your feet isn’t on the three point line, and not a big at the rim your guarding nothing essentially might as well not be there.
No consequences too going 0/10 because it’s a miss/make league.
It’s called no man’s land and unless you have a 15 feet wingspan can’t guard both the rim and the 3point shot. Defenses on the whole collapses for zero reason it’s like a fighter flinching every time another fighter feints/sets up it’s not the actual shot that’s collapsing the defense. Young/old players are falling for it time and time again.

They didn't wave him they traded him to Houston for a heavily protected future 2nd round pick.

You sounded like there is a massive difference.

That’s why there are 50 point [on 26 shots], 11 assist games every other night?

At the pace we're headed, there will be. Scrub teams score 40 point quarters every night now. Tomorrow we'll see 50 point quarters. Defense is a thing of the past, it's all about offense. Nothing more, nothing less.

didn't Magic win 5 rings in the 80s? Why do you hate that decade so much? The worst part is that at least today's players are doing it with 3s being a major factor which makes it hard for defense. Imagine how bad defense in 80s was that almost the same scoring was done but with just 2 pointers.

Crazy that people think it's common in the nba. 20 yr old dropping 50 in his 70th game. Wow, people must do this all the time in the imaginary planet you guys live on.

I've seen the ghost of Tristian Kardashian start for you guys in games you're trying to win. Maybe the Celtics should have made a play for Wood or DJ. :reporter:
