    I'm wondering if Capela starting on the 5 and Goon on 4 is bad at this point. Wtf is there to lose now anyway, lmao. Just give me anything to keep alpi scoring on the post and have a semblance of what Steve provided us for interior defense.

    The Rockets should blow it up & fire Stone & Ime. OKC & San Antonio are on different planets than us. Wow, The Rockets are the dumbest team in the NBA. By a mile!!!!

    I just do not think LA or Minny are that good, it's not really about the Rockets, Minny is as random and bad as the Rockets are and they won this game because KD had one of his worst shooting games of his career in regulation up into the final few minutes.

    If KD had a regular average shooting game the Rockets comfortably win this game.

    Yeah, thats without Ant, but Minny is a fraud team as much as the Rockets are, their ceiling is 2nd round...and there are going to be serious questions about how they build around Ant with their roster as it is.

    Lakers defense is bad and their depth is actually worse than the Rockets. If Luka has a bad game then the team loses.

    Denver is the only legit contending team in this bunch. We'll see in the playoffs, but watching these other teams I think the Rockets could beat them in a series. We still have Durant that can win you games on his own and if Sengun is rounding into form they are definitely a dangerous first round team.

    I am negative about this season BUT at the same time, the team DOES have positives, otherwise they wouldn't even be in a shout of getting HCA. They just play really sloppy almost all of the time which is crazy considering their record.

    Turnovers and can't even stay locked in. We have the worst offensive coach and the dumbest gm in the game.
    We are a joke

    Even a guy like Westbrook, who can definitely handle the ball under pressure, would have helped in OT. I think all of us saw the collapse coming.

    A badly managed team by bad managers resulting in multiple collapses during the season. If the reporters had any balls, they would ask tough questions.

    That second stat is unreal.

    They said it in the game but when you look at the offensive stats they just contradict what you see. The offensive stats say the teams offense is good...but then you look at the play on the court and it doesn't match up. I guess a lot of these team offensive metrics do not count TOs

    a team that has a center that can't defend, starts two non-shooters, has no PG, is 28th in the league in turnovers, has a superstar that struggles to create, and has a rotation full of lemons is apparently the third best team in the West [​IMG]

    If I'm the opposing player, and I need the ball back, I'm salivating at the thought of stealing the ball from Sengun or KD on an iso.

    It doesnt even matter all this stats is apparently useless to our dumbass gm that say it's all style points and we have to zoom out and see this season as a whole or etc. He has to go, like this man doesn't know what it is to built a championship team. He stood pat at the deadline which he kept his word but for what?? You made a win now move by signing kevin durant to do what? To let him rot and babysit these guys???

    i was just about to suggest this. the rebounding is like 85% of the offense.

    Sengun with a defensive anchor is a top 10 talent.
