    Just wanted to see what CF thinks after around half a season. I think he has been playing at a much higher level than what people expected. He has not just been the closer, but is also serving as the main offensive engine but also defending at a high level.

    When FVV went down last year, the Rox were 11-11. In the same situation but with a much harder conference the Rox are somehow 4rth seed and on pace for 50 wins.

    Despite my complaints and the lack of a point guard, KD is carrying the offense.

    I don't like the ISO game but that's on Ime.

    He would be playing even better if he weren't forced to carry the scoring load currently. We need another go-to shot maker desperately.

    Of course Kevin Durant is a superstar. The question is “is he the right superstar for the Rockets?” My answer is an emphatic no, but he’s not going anywhere.

    Top 20. Maybe Top 15. All-star.

    Certain he’s better than Jalen Green. Certain he makes all-star team. Uncertain (lean no) he makes all-NBA.

    28th PER
    5th WS
    15th BPM
    12th VORP

    Jabari is a top 5 PF and a superstar. You know what I’m sayin’? Jabari has been misused and misprioritized by two coaches. You know what I’m sayin’? Bari could go average 28 on a bad team, could’ve got a max contract but Bari is a team player, willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. You know what I’m sayin’?
