    We have zero offense. What’s the point of developing Reed Sheppard WHEN ALL WE F****** DO IS PASS THE BALL TO KD AND LET HIM ISO????

    Rockets really f***** up by not trading for James Harden. Or anyone. We have zero offense. I am beyond annoyed.

    Luka really owns the rockets. Clutchfans said this would be a freebie matchup

    I’ve never disliked a Houston playoff team in any sport so much in my life. And yet I keep turning on the tv to watch them get embarrassed.

    We are out in the first round in 5 games. This is a completely failed experiment.

    When Harden did those move he got trashed for hunting for fouls. But now Doncic doing it people praise him...

    Reaves throws it out so naturally they call a phantom foul

    It’s awesome to see Sengun in the clutch time. Always clever and accurate. Why is Ime Udoka still living in Houston?

    our offensive gameplan is designed to fail

    The Rockets should be forced to finish the season by playing in skirts and heels

    How can a coach be sooo unclutch? Does Rudy T need to be hired as a consultant?

    Another horrendous crunch time

    I expected an L, just a matter of how it was gonna go down, blowout or a crunch time collapse
