    Yes. It gives them more shooters on the court, opens opportunities for Durant & Sengun.

    don’t want to hear this defense talk, half the team doesn’t even play it. Lol.

    The Rockets are better when SGA does not start.

    The entire league is better when SGA doesn't play at all.

    No, but he has to start or play significant minutes for this team to have a chance in the postseason and next season. There are no other ways, unless and until FVV is back to 100% or there is a PG upgrade in the off-season.

    Yes, they are, because he balances the starting lineup, and even when he struggles his gravity is important to the team.

    It’s probably exagerated by the fact we’re the worst shooting team of all time

    NBA referees don’t expose themselves to allegations of gambling when SGA and/or the Thunder don’t play.

    Reed needs to change his name to a Nigerian name over the summer. Udoka will love him.

    Lest us not forget that Amen also sat this one out albeit lacking the furs and lip gloss that the Thunder bench was rocking. #jaredmccainisgoingtofitrightin

    The way defense has been playing against the Rockets as of late... Amen sitting this out was... a positive to the Rockets' offense.

    Agree, and going by SGA's sideline wardrobes, I think the fashion world is also better when SGA doesn't start on the Paris runways. :p

    Such a small sample size, the gsw win was big bc there was no kd and gsw had everyone.
