    Tari has been gifted his minutes. He hasn’t earned anything. Same with DFS. It starts at the top with Ime. Tari needs some pine and lots of it.

    I don't blame Durant - if he is getting double teamed someone has to make a play.

    KD is a malignant narcissist, Tari is a total idiot, and let's be honest, so is Ime. Watches the Lakers execute the same game plan over and over again and refuses to call timeout and make adjustments. Either he's too stupid to recognize an obvious problem or he's lost the team and doesn't think they will listen to him if he calls for an adjustment. Either way, terrible coaching.

    Crud team that is out of ideas

    Stonetitta, y'all believed your own press last year & got high on your own supply but it turns out your rebuild was rebuilt on a sandcastle at Stewart Beach

    The irony here is that this is how teams used to play us during the Harden years, double team hard at half court, but James was good enough to beat it. I am nowhere NEAR as down on KD as most here seem to be, but he is not adept at running the offense out of the double team. And honestly if you KNOW they are doing this to you, do NOT come get the ball!!!

    4 of the 8 guys in rotation can’t accidentally find a bucket. Reed is 1/6 from 3. Y’all can blame the coach all you want but this roster is so flawed. The young core you defend ****ing sucks and Auerbach ain’t coaching them away from that. Trade whoever you want. I won’t miss anyone. You can’t scheme an offense for guys who can’t make a pass, can’t handle the ball, and can’t ****ing shoot. And you wonder why we went double bigs? lol

    KD makes Eric Gordon’s handles look like Allen Iverson.

    I been holding out on overreacting but last years team was better. SmH...I think they had 8 or something straight possessions that led to turnovers. I mean cmon, you dont need star players to not turn the ball over like this, 8 second call from durant, careless plays.. Just God awful, this team ain't it, season may as well be over.

    4-5yrs ago I stopped caring. 2yrs I started caring again.

    I went to see Project Hail Mary tonight. Fantastic movie. Anytime I looked at the score, we were up.

    Now I look and we lost by 8. I feel like I did 4-5yrs ago. I no longer care. Rockets failed, like they seem to usually do, but damn that movie was awesome.

    There goes the theory that the Rockets could potentially beat the Lakers in a playoff series.

    Said it for ages. Ime, Durant, FVV gotta go. You can add Tari to the list as well.
