    KD’s either quit or all the minutes he’s been playing like he’s a young Allen Iverson has finally caught up to him

    Back to back losses to the Lakers is the stuff of nightmares.

    Rockets singlehandedly gave Luka MVP buzz

    that’s how much he dominated us these 2 games

    we are his son

    i miss cheering for Jalen Green's fake superstar future. there was hope and promise.

    Kd doesn't brush his hair.

    To be fair the first loss was due to no game plan whatsoever and a total meltdown. This second one didn't feel as bad

    what a humiliating back-to-back. honestly, if the goal was to stack bad 3-point shooters, they couldn’t have executed it this perfectly.

    this might be it for me. it’s hard feeling like you care more than the guys wearing the jerseys.
    after 20 years, a lot of people here have been right, real life has to come first.

    this team just makes it harder than it should be to enjoy it.

    One tiny tiny tiny little positive note is that Jabari is becoming the player we wanted him to be, efficient, relatively clutch floor spreader who can play defense.

    And Amen has improved a LOT over the course of the season, which is going to bode well for the future. Same with Reed.

    So that's nice, I guess

    I think this roster is fixable with right coaching staff not named Udoka

    it was actually worse, they made you believe for long enough to let the guard down.

    Honestly, we are the fools, its borderline impossible to play decent defense with KD, Sengun and Reed at the same time. And we dont have enough handling/IQ without them.

    Sengun was 10-15 FG, 1-2 from 3, 10 assists to just 2 turnovers. Solid outing, can win many games with that even with average D. On a team needing caretaking of the ball

    But yeah Amen & Jabari are the only 2 with both effort and production on both ends of the floor

    Kevin Durant on the rockets has been infinitely worse than anything in the silas era. the fandom is the worst it has ever been.

    i watch every game. i dont even want to watch anymore.
